Aurora Flight Sciences

#DYK In 2006, we opened our first research and development facility in Cambridge, MA to develop and integrate advanced technologies into our unmanned aerial vehicles. Today we have two facilities in Massachusetts that house offices, workspaces, and technology labs to support cutting-edge research programs in autonomy, rapid prototyping, and testing. See all of our locations here: https://lnkd.in/exEuPcBD

At Aurora, bridging the gap between humans and autonomy is a fundamental aspect of our work to advance the future of flight. https://lnkd.in/d9tHeeCa Our engineers create revolutionary technologies and follow a journey from innovative concept to next-generation application that involves careful testing and verification. Learn more about our flight simulation lab and the vital role it plays in the research and development process.

We are advancing the future of flight. Through our work in autonomy, propulsion systems, rapid prototyping, and cutting-edge manufacturing, our teams are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in flight. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gNpJbxWh #flight #autonomy #aerospace

Happy Independence Day! Today, we not only celebrate our nation’s freedom but also honor the spirit of innovation, progress, and teamwork that got us here as we continue to push boundaries and advance the future of flight.

Our cutting-edge manufacturing technology uses the most advanced techniques and machinery in the industry. With manufacturing facilities in Mississippi, Virginia, and West Virginia, our engineers and technicians support key technologies including automated fiber placement, autoclave curing, non-destructive inspection, and more. We're hiring #manufacturing technicians, operators, engineers, and managers at our facilities in Bridgeport, West Virginia and Columbus, Mississippi.

Here's a sneak peek at Aurora's latest Group 2 UAS. SKIRON-XLE is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and purpose-designed for long range reconnaissance. In addition to Trillium Engineering payloads and a fuel cell from Intelligent Energy, the complete SKIRON-XLE system includes a ruggedized ground control station with Kutta Technologies, LLCs’ Unified Ground Control Station software, which meets international STANAG 4586 standards as well the US Army’s Interoperability standards. With this Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) to software and hardware interoperability, the entire SKIRON-XLE system provides a unique solution for this class of UAS.

Welcome to our summer interns! Last week, our 2024 intern class visited our headquarters in Manassas, Virginia for three days of interactive events. The group met with members of our senior leadership team, learned about the company's history and current programs, toured our facilities, and visited the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center. Thanks to all employees who attended and supported the events!

Yesterday employees across Aurora came together to celebrate #Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history commemorating the end of slavery. Sponsored by our chapter of the Boeing Black Employees Association, team members gathered to share a meal, watch educational videos, and engage in meaningful discussions about the history and significance of Juneteenth. Thanks to all employees who came out to celebrate!

As we celebrate 35 years of advancing the future of flight, we're taking this opportunity to look back at how we got here. Take a look at Aurora through the years with our new interactive timeline where you can dive into Aurora's history, explore key milestones, and see how we've evolved over the years: https://lnkd.in/eAZkCxE9 #flight #aerospace #history

This month, we're celebrating 35 years of advancing the future of flight. From our start in a small facility in Alexandria, Virginia to becoming a leading name in the aerospace industry, our story is one of perseverance, innovation, and a pursuit of excellence. Over the years, we continued to innovate and expand our capabilities, taking on projects to design, build, and fly advanced aircraft and enabling technologies. As we look back on our journey, we are grateful for our customers and team members who have fueled our success, bringing new opportunities for growth and innovation. Here’s to 35 years of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Read more: https://lnkd.in/es6ybGWA #flight #innovation #history #anniversary #aerospace
