New milestone achieved! The
#Airbus U850
#SIRTAP has successfully completed its first taxi at the
@EjercitoAire Getafe Air Base runway, right next to our facilities.
During this taxi test, the aircraft is fully controlled from the ground control station. The test verifies the correct integration and performance of the braking system, steering function, navigation sensors, and commands from the control station itself.
Why is this key? It confirms the seamless interaction between hardware, software, and vehicle dynamics. It also validates the aircraft's ability to maneuver safely on the ground before progressing to high-speed taxi trials and the subsequent flight test campaign.
We are one step closer to the first flight! Stay tuned.
