Silverwing Personal Flight

Working through day and night our #engineering #team has demonstrated the S1's capability to #fly untethered outdoors. It is a massive step in our #flight #test campaign and shows just how far we have come from when the S1 was just a #dream on paper. #flysilverwing #innovation

February was a historic month for Silverwing. We hope you enjoy watching this throwback video as much as we enjoyed our time in the US! #flysilverwing #throwbacktuesday

Last week we ended our California trip with a special flight demonstration for friends and family at the Patriots Jet Team hangar. We couldn’t have imagined a better way to end the USA adventure of Silverwing! #flysilverwing

Thanks to everyone who supported us on our journey to the @GoFlyPrize Fly-off. The million dollar prize is still up for grabs! Congrats to @teTra_aviation on winning the @prattandwhitney Disruptor Award.

We have moved outdoors! Making the most of the #sunny #california weather our team has started testing outdoors. We have now set up our #testing facility at Byron and performed several tethered #flight . . . #flysilverwing #aviation #flight #electric #aircraft

✅ First Free Flight! We are not only certified by the #FAA to fly outdoors but we have also achieved our first #free #flight. In this clip, you can join our team as we #celebrate the occasion #flysilverwing #aviation youtu.be/PkI-d0O4Y54

The S1 is now certified for outdoor flight! After being thoroughly inspected by the #FAA the S1 received its Special Flight Authorization. We are all incredibly proud of this #achievement and we will be soon #flying our #aircraft outdoors!

New week new beginning! We spent the weekend preparing our #aircraft for our first untethered #flight. Making several #modifications and polishing our safety and preflight checklists. #flysilverwing #experience #personal #aviation @GoFlyPrize

The S1 is going to #fly with the batteries onboard! To pass the @GoFlyPrize Flight Preparedness Review (FPR) we must fly using only our #custom #battery and no external cables. Our team is hard at work ensuring that we pass the FPR and move onto the next step: #outdoor flight.

In less than a week, our team has not just setup a new #test #facility in #California, but has also conducted #battery #powered test flights! Stay tuned for updates as we unlock #personal #flight and enjoy the California sun. #flysilverwing @Boeing @GoFlyPrize #aviation

When we are not flying using our batteries, we use a generator to power our aircraft. To transfer all this energy to our vehicle we use high-voltage reels provided to us by @PowerReel. . . . #flysilverwing #aircraft #electric #highvoltage #aviation

At Silverwing safety is our number one priority and effective communication is the key! Thanks to the industry-leading SoundComm B40 Headset, provided to us by @BoseAviation , we’re able to communicate seamlessly with each other during our tests and the competition.  #bose

We are getting ready for the next phase of testing in the #USA and we need your help to make it successful. Our team is looking for a #sponsor who can #loan us an industrial sized 150 kW #generator in the #SanFrancisco bay area. #flight #test #aviation @GlobalPwr @CK_Power

With the Fly-off only weeks away, we took the S1 outside to see how it performs in gusty conditions. With the help of DCS Coatings we were able to setup a safe environment for our first outdoor tests. It was a beautiful day and test flight! #flysilverwing @GoFlyPrize #aviation

In 2019, Silverwing was selected as one of the World’s Top 50 Innovators. With our first outdoor tests and the @GoFlyPrize fly-off, 2020 is going to be another innovative, fast-paced and exciting year for our team. #flysilverwing #innovation #aircraft youtu.be/izeEGl6ZkdI
