This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. Thrust (how it moves forward). That force is called thrust. Thats exactly what engine controls do.

Full-fuel payload is a whopping 1,150 pounds, and max landing weight is 7,600. The batteries provided so much cranking power that both cold and hot starts never even approached engine temperature limits. Taxiing requires forays into Beta as there is so much thrust at idle that the Epic will rapidly accelerate beyond taxi speed.

As we approach the midpoint of 2025 it seemed a good opportunity to look over the progress that Vertical and Joby (UK vs US) have made so far this year and see who is leading the pack. As part of Phase 2 of its piloted thrustborne testing, Vertical Aerospaces VX4 completed over 30 test flights at its test center at Cotswold Airport (GBA).

This approach ensures that our ranking captures the true titans of the skies. Now, you might be wondering about its payload. The C-5 Galaxy has a unique high-wing design, with four engines capable of delivering an enormous amount of thrust. This aircraft is all about carrying massive payloads. Its key role?

This incredible achievement validates our unique and robust approach to the transition phase of flight, added Brian Robinson, chief engineer and co-founder. The aircraft also has twin-boom vertical stabilizers to the rear and a monocoque cabin that can accommodate up to six passengers, plus the operating pilot.

Hence, the British Purchasing Commission (headed by Sir Henry Self) approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the RAF. The only aircraft that came close was the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk, however the Curtiss-Wright production line was already running at capacity to satisfy existing orders.
