Heart Aerospace’s 25,000-pound X1 has completed a 27-minute battery-only flight in New York, the largest fully electric aircraft test reported so far. The flight carried no passengers, but it advances work on the company’s hybrid-electric ES-30, aimed at shorter regional routes by 2031, with range still a major barrier.

Four EU-funded nanosatellites, each smaller than a carry-on bag, entered low Earth orbit in May, making Greece the first country to operate a satellite constellation dedicated solely to wildfire detection. Thermal sensors identify fires as small as four metres across — far smaller than what conventional satellites can see — with AI processing the images and sending real-time alerts to firefighters every hour.
