Our VECTA primary flight control actuator suite flew and completed maneuvers aboard Northrop Grumman’s YFQ-48A Talon Blue during its first flight on 3 October in Mojave, California.
This is the first application of Skydweller technology to a jet aircraft.
VECTA provides compact, high-torque, dual-redundant electromechanical actuation for safety-critical flight controls, with applications across advanced aircraft, including Collaborative Combat Aircraft, business jets and autonomous platforms.
Congratulations to Northrop Grumman and the Talon Blue team, and a huge thank you to the Skydweller employees whose work helped make this milestone possible.
We’re proud to see Talon Blue and VECTA fly!
