| ON-WINGS takes ice detection to the next level Posted: 17 Jun 2013 02:39 PM PDT 
On most aircraft ice-detection systems, the sensors can't be located right on the aerofoil surfaces that most need to be kept ice-free – the addition of a protruding sensor would ruin their aerodynamics. Now, however, UK-based GKN Aerospace has announced the new ON-WINGS system. It mounts completely flush with the skin of the aircraft, allowing it to be integrated directly onto wings, rotor blades, or anyplace else that needs to be kept sleek and free of ice. ..

| DARPA developing digital airstrikes Posted: 17 Jun 2013 02:27 PM PDT

While information technologies are revolutionizing the military, when it comes to calling in Close Air Support (CAS), it's still World War One – where a misread or misheard grid reference can end up with soldiers being hit by their own artillery. DARPA's Persistent Close Air Support (PCAS) program hopes to improve this...

| Speed record: Eurocopter X3 hits 255 knots Posted: 17 Jun 2013 05:59 AM PDT 
Eurocopter has announced a new pair of speed records set by its hybrid helicopter demonstrator, the X3. Piloted by Hervé Jammayrac, the X3 reached a level flight speed of 255 knots over the south of France on June 7, eclipsing the 250 knots (463 km/h) set by Sikorsky's X2 demonstrator back in 2010. The X3 reached 263 knots several days beforehand, achieved during a dive rather than level flight, also besting the X2's record in descent – by a single knot. ..
