Boeing is admitting to an even more serious slippage in its 787 program than previously announced, and says it will be more than two months before it can even identify exactly how long the customer delivery delays will be or when the bulk of the test fleet will join the program.
Researchers are about to begin in-depth studies of a heat shield sample taken from the edge of the Stardust sample-return capsule as part of continuing work to determine if the same ablative material should be used to protect the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle. The material, made from phenolic impregnated carbon ablator (PICA), is the leading choice for the Orion spacecraft, and its evaluation forms a critical early task for CEV planners along with development and test of a launch-abort system.
Researchers will flight test a novel “belly-flap” on a blended-wing body (BWB) within the next few weeks to verify control improvements that could be critical to the success of the all-wing concept.
