This, he said, is putting pressure on the young, used market inventory at a time when many in-service helicopters are nearing their replacement cycles.在评估今年上半年直升机市场状况时，卢布拉诺表示，各大原始设备制造商（OEM）漫长的生产交付周期，使最受欢迎机型的交付时间增加了数月，甚至数年。他指出，这一情况进一步加剧了机龄较新的二手直升机库存紧张，而与此同时，大量现役直升机也陆续进入更新换代阶段。He explained that since production lines for military and civil helicopters are often comingled, increasing demand from the former is also affecting OEM order books. Conflicts such as the Iran war may affect investment strategies, with some potential owners opting for short-term leases instead of ownership of newer helicopters like the Airbus H160 medium twin.卢布拉诺解释称，由于军用和民用直升机通常共用生产线，因此军用需求的增长也会影响OEM的订单安排。此外，像伊朗战争这样的地区冲突，也可能影响客户的投资策略。一些潜在买家可能更倾向于选择短期租赁，而不是直接购买像空中客车H160这样的中型双发直升机。“We can give the opportunity to any client to try them, so short-term lease, two, three years becomes a possibility on that type, so the client can really assess the aircraft and see if they want to move on with the acquisition,” Lubrano said.卢布拉诺表示：“我们能够为客户提供体验飞机性能的机会。通过两至三年的短期租赁，客户可以在实际运营中全面评估飞机是否符合自身需求，再决定是否采购。”Another factor going forward in the year is the start of fire season in the U.S. and Europe, with many aircraft occupied with firefighting contracts. Rotorcraft dealers and completions houses are gearing up for that.展望下半年，另一个影响市场的重要因素是美国和欧洲进入森林火灾季。届时，大量直升机将投入灭火任务。为此，为应对即将到来的森林火灾季，直升机经销商及飞机改装服务商正加紧部署相关工作，以满足即将到来的市场需求。https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/futureflight/2026-07-22/japanese-leasing-group-backs-archers-halo-utility-drone2.Japanese Leasing Group Backs Archer's Halo Utility DroneBy CHARLES ALCOCK • Managing EditorJuly 22, 2026Japanese leasing group Marubeni Aerospace is helping Archer Aviation find use cases for the Halo autonomous aircraft it unveiled at the Farnborough International Airshow this week. The hybrid-electric model is part of a family of dual tiltrotor drones being developed by Archer and Anduril that also includes the Thunder military platform launched on Monday.日本租赁集团丸红航空航天正协助Archer Aviation为其本周在范堡罗国际航展发布的Halo自主飞行器探索更多应用场景。Halo是一款混合动力电动飞行器，属于Archer与Anduril联合研发的双倾转旋翼无人机系列的一员。该系列还包括Archer于本周一发布的Thunder军用平台。Archer has not confirmed any range or payload details for the Halo or Thunder, but said the hybrid-electric powertrain it has developed in-house will be sufficient “to support global self-deployment.”Archer尚未公布Halo和Thunder的具体航程及载荷数据，但表示，公司自主研发的混合动力电推进系统足以支持飞行器实现全球范围内的自主部署。Alternatively, the company explained, the aircraft can be packed into a standard shipping container for transport by air, road, rail, or sea, offering the multi-modal transport logistics required to reach where it needs to be.此外，公司介绍称，该机还可装入标准集装箱，通过航空、公路、铁路或海运等多种运输方式进行转运，从而通过跨运输方式的物流，快速运抵任务区域。The partners expect to begin test flights of the Thunder/Halo prototype in 2027, but have not said when they will begin deliveries. The companies said they have already flown what they described as “a full-scale surrogate aircraft.”双方计划于2027年开始对Thunder/Halo原型机进行试飞，但尚未公布正式交付时间。两家公司表示，目前已完成一架他们称之为“全尺寸验证机”的飞行测试。Based on the powertrain Archer developed for its four-passenger Midnight eVTOL air taxi, the series’ hybrid-electric powertrain drives the rotors directly from electric motors and features a turbogenerator. The propulsion system also includes wing-mounted optimum-speed tiltrotors that vary the revolutions per minute to maintain efficiency through different phases of flight, reducing power demand and fuel burn in cruise as well as reducing noise to avoid detection by hostile forces during low-altitude approaches.该系列飞行器沿用了Archer为四座Midnight电动垂直起降（eVTOL）空中出租车开发的动力平台。其混合动力电推进系统以电动机直接驱动旋翼，并辅以燃气涡轮发电机供电。该推进系统还采用了安装于机翼上的可变转速倾转旋翼，可根据不同飞行阶段自动调节旋翼转速，以保持最佳运行效率。这不仅能够在巡航阶段降低功率需求和燃油消耗，还能有效降低飞行噪声，从而减少飞行器在低空接近目标时被敌方探测的风险。"Over the past eight years we've engineered, tested, and scaled the technology this platform is built on,” said Archer founder and CEO Adam Goldstein. “The powertrain, the batteries, the motors, the manufacturing. We partnered with Anduril to take all of that knowledge and build something new: a clean-sheet aircraft in a completely different class of range, speed and payload.”Archer创始人兼首席执行官亚当·戈德斯坦（Adam Goldstein）表示：“过去八年，我们围绕这一平台所依托的核心技术完成了研发、测试和规模化制造，包括动力系统、电池、电机以及生产制造体系。我们与Anduril合作，将这些技术积累整合起来，打造了一款全新的、从零开始设计的飞行器，使其在航程、速度和载荷能力方面实现了全新的突破。”Archer envisages applications such as offshore energy support, freight deliveries, and humanitarian and medical support. The aircraft could also be deployed for various maritime missions.Archer预计，该飞行器可广泛应用于海上能源保障、货物运输、人道主义救援以及医疗支援等领域，同时还能够执行多种海上任务。"Currently, even in cargo transport operations that do not require onboard crew, flights are conducted with human pilots, absorbing the cost, scheduling constraints and human exposure that come with it," said Marubeni president and CEO Satoru Nakagawa. "Halo's unmanned, autonomous flight capabilities can address these challenges, and combined with its excellent range, payload capacity and VTOL capability, make it a highly suitable solution that we are pleased to introduce and support for our customers as a first strategic partner."丸红集团总裁兼首席执行官中川悟（Satoru Nakagawa）表示：“目前，即便是在无需机组人员执行任务的货运飞行中，仍需由飞行员操控，这不仅增加了运营成本，也受到飞行员排班限制，并使飞行员面临相应的安全风险。Halo凭借无人自主飞行能力，可有效破解上述难题；结合其优异的航程、载荷能力和垂直起降性能，使其成为一款极具应用前景的解决方案。作为首个战略合作伙伴，我们很高兴将这一产品引入市场，并为客户提供全方位支持。”https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2026-07-21/ahead-rest-mq-28-nears-australian-service3. Ahead of the Rest: MQ-28 Nears Australian ServiceBy DAVID DONALD • Contributor - UKJuly 22, 2026In 2028, the Royal Australian Air Force aims to become the first air arm in the world to field an advanced collaborative combat aircraft (CCA). Formerly known as the Loyal Wingman, the Boeing MQ-28 Ghost Bat has been developed entirely in Australia but has significant global opportunities, especially as it is arguably the most mature of the CCA programs.澳大利亚皇家空军计划于2028年成为全球首支列装先进协同作战飞机（CCA）的空军。波音MQ-28“幽灵蝠”（Ghost Bat）此前以“忠诚僚机”（Loyal Wingman）项目名称为人所知，整机研发工作均在澳大利亚完成。凭借较高的技术成熟度，该机被认为是当前全球协同作战飞机项目中最具领先优势的机型之一，并拥有广阔的国际市场前景。The MQ-28 first flew in February 2021, and the test fleet has accumulated some 230 hours over 200 sorties. Eight Block 1 aircraft were built, and the second of them—retired from test duties for some time—is on static display at the Farnborough International Airshow. The last three Block 1 air vehicles will follow shortly as six Block 2 aircraft take over the test burden.MQ-28于2021年2月完成首飞。截至目前，试飞机队已累计飞行约230小时、完成200余架次飞行任务。项目共建造了8架Block 1型飞机，其中第二架已结束试飞任务，目前正在范堡罗国际航展进行静态展示。随着6架Block 2型飞机陆续投入试飞，剩余3架Block 1飞机也将逐步退出试验任务。Among the Block 2’s improvements, the most obvious is a wing with 25% greater area, permitting an increase in maximum takeoff weight from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds and a corresponding rise in useful payload to 4,500 pounds. The internal weapons bays are longer, accommodating up to four Small Diameter Bombs or two missiles the size of the AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM). Boeing has developed a revised modular nose that allows different sensor payloads to be fitted, and a satcom antenna enables beyond-line-of-sight control.Block 2最显著的改进在于机翼面积扩大了25%，使最大起飞重量由1万磅增至1.2万磅，有效载荷也相应提升至4500磅。此外，内部武器舱经过加长设计，可容纳4枚“小直径炸弹”（SDB）或2枚与AIM-120先进中程空空导弹尺寸相当的导弹。波音还重新设计了模块化机鼻，可根据任务需求搭载不同类型的传感器；与此同时，新增的卫星通信天线赋予飞机超视距（BLOS）控制能力。Boeing has established a production facility in Toowoomba, Queensland, which will initially build Block 2 aircraft. A Block 3 with further improvements is expected to enter production in 2029.波音已在澳大利亚昆士兰州图文巴建立生产基地，初期将负责Block 2机型的制造。性能进一步提升的Block 3预计将于2029年投入生产。The company’s test fleet has not flown that much, but because development is performed within the digital domain, testing is essentially a validation of modeling and results. Some notable capabilities have nevertheless been demonstrated in the air. In June 2025, an MQ-28 conducted find-fix-target missions in which it autonomously detected, tracked, and designated aerial targets within an assigned area.虽然MQ-28试飞机队累计飞行时间并不算长，但由于大量研发工作在数字化仿真环境中完成，因此实际飞行试验主要用于验证数字模型和仿真结果。不过，该机已在实际飞行中展示出多项关键能力。2025年6月，一架MQ-28执行了“发现—定位—锁定目标”任务，其能够在指定空域内自主发现、跟踪并标定空中目标。In December 2025, an MQ-28 destroyed a jet-powered drone target with an AIM-120 fired at the Woomera test range in South Australia. An operator aboard an RAAF E-7A Wedgetail airborne early warning and control aircraft controlled the CCA and authorized the engagement, while an F/A-18F Super Hornet provided targeting data across the networked force. Boeing is in talks with MBDA about launching a Meteor air-to-air missile from the MQ-28. Fit checks have been conducted, but no schedule has been set for the demonstration.2025年12月，一架MQ-28在南澳大利亚伍默拉试验场发射AIM-120先进中程空空导弹，成功击落一架喷气式无人靶机。此次任务中，一名位于澳大利亚皇家空军E-7A“楔尾”空中预警与控制飞机上的操作员负责控制MQ-28，并授权实施攻击；一架F/A-18F“超级大黄蜂”战斗机则通过网络化作战体系向其提供目标数据。目前，波音正与欧洲导弹集团（MBDA）就MQ-28搭载并发射“流星”空空导弹展开合作讨论。相关适配测试已经完成，但尚未确定正式演示时间。Earlier this year, an MQ-28 flew three sorties from Naval Air Station Point Mugu in California in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, and in late June and early July the type took part in the Valiant Shield exercise in the Pacific. Nine sorties were flown from the island of Rota, north of Guam, among them operations with U.S. Air Force F-35s and F-15EXs. Three back-to-back sorties demonstrated a turnaround time between flights of just 19 minutes.今年早些时候，一架MQ-28在美国加利福尼亚州穆古角海军航空站与美国海军合作完成了三次飞行任务。随后，在6月底至7月初举行的“勇敢之盾”太平洋联合演习中，该机再次亮相。演习期间，MQ-28从关岛以北的罗塔岛起飞，共执行了9架次飞行任务，其中包括与美国空军F-35和F-15EX战斗机协同作战。连续三次飞行任务之间仅用了19分钟即可完成再次出动准备，展现出优异的快速出动能力。International interest in the MQ-28 is high, and Boeing sees opportunities in many nations. In Germany, an industrial team has been formed to bid for air force requirements: Rheinmetall was named first as Boeing’s strategic partner, Rohde & Schwarz and Diehl Defence joined in June, and sensor and electronic warfare specialist Hensoldt has now completed the team. Internationally, Eaton (weapons launch and release systems) and Leonardo (Skyward infrared search-and-track sensors) have been named as partners.国际市场对MQ-28表现出浓厚兴趣，波音认为该机在多个国家具有广阔的发展空间。在德国，波音已组建本土工业联合体参与德国空军相关项目竞标。其中，莱茵金属率先成为波音的战略合作伙伴；罗德与施瓦茨和迪尔防务于今年6月加入；传感器及电子战专家亨索尔特的加盟，则完成了整个德国合作团队的组建。在国际合作方面，伊顿将负责武器发射与投放系统，而莱昂纳多则提供Skyward红外搜索与跟踪（IRST）传感器。Boeing Australia designed the Ghost Bat as a simple aircraft with ease of operation and manufacturing in mind. Boeing Commercial Airplanes played a major role in designing the production system so that manufacturing facilities can be established easily and rapidly anywhere. For the MQ-28, the company favors small facilities in customer nations, allowing them to tailor their own air vehicles to national operational and sovereignty requirements.波音澳大利亚公司在设计“幽灵蝠”时，坚持结构简洁、易于操作、便于制造的理念。波音民用飞机公司在MQ-28生产体系的设计中发挥了重要作用，使其制造能力能够在世界各地快速部署。针对MQ-28项目，波音更倾向于在客户所在国建设小规模生产设施，以便各国能够根据自身作战需求和主权要求，对飞机进行本土化定制。4. WoT? Experimental Elongated Airbus Wings To Fly Next Yearhttps://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/aerospace/2026-07-21/wot-experimental-elongated-airbus-wings-fly-next-yearBy CHARLOTTE BAILEY • WriterJuly 22, 2026Airbus has launched the next phase of its Wing of Tomorrow (WoT) development program, kicking off a three-year effort to assess the benefits and challenges of extended-length wingspans. With the first experimental folding wings due to commence assembly imminently, Airbus hopes to start testing the concept in flight on an Airbus A321neo testbed around the second half of next year.空中客车（Airbus）正式启动“未来机翼”（WoT）项目的下一阶段研发工作，未来三年将重点评估加长翼展设计的技术优势及应用挑战。首批实验性折叠机翼即将进入组装阶段，空客计划于明年下半年在一架A321neo试验机上开展飞行测试，对相关技术进行验证。Wing efficiency is “one of the biggest levers we have to improve the performance of our aircraft,” Airbus technology project lead Richard MacPherson told reporters during a briefing at the Farnborough Airshow on Tuesday, adding that Wing of Tomorrow “has the potential to give the same, if not more, efficiency gains than next generation engines.” This program phase will analyze the performance benefits and aerodynamic qualities of longer wings, helping inform future narrowbody design decisions.空客技术项目负责人Richard MacPherson在周二举行的范堡罗航展上表示：“机翼效率是提升飞机性能最重要的技术抓手之一。”他指出，“未来机翼”项目有望实现与下一代发动机相当、甚至更大的效率提升。本阶段研发将重点评估加长翼展在飞行性能和空气动力学方面的表现，为空客未来单通道客机的机翼设计提供技术支撑。Airbus has already started building various multi-meter-long devices intended to replace the upward-curving Sharklet wingtips that are standard on the A320 family. These will be built at Airbus’ Wing Technology Development Centre in Filton, England, before being flight-tested on its A321neo testbed in Toulouse, France.目前，空客已启动多款数米长翼尖延伸装置的研制工作，以替代A320系列飞机现有的Sharklet。相关装置将在英国菲尔顿机翼技术开发中心完成制造，随后运往法国图卢兹，搭载A321neo试验机开展飞行测试，验证其空气动力学性能及工程可行性。“In the air, these extension devices are going to replicate a folding wing that is latched and fully locked in its fully extended flight position,” MacPherson said. Separate ongoing ground-based demonstrations are exploring the mechanism by which a future wing might fold.MacPherson表示：“在飞行测试中，这些翼尖延伸装置将模拟折叠机翼在完全展开并锁定状态下的飞行特性。”与此同时，空客还在同步开展地面验证工作，重点对未来折叠机翼的折叠机构及其工作机理进行测试与验证。Airbus validated early concepts through digital simulation, and MacPherson said the company has “performed intensive wind tunnel testing to really evaluate and optimize” different variants. Building on WoT concepts that pair a 17-meter (56-foot) main wing box with a five-meter (16-foot) folding section, he expects the extension devices “to be in that order of magnitude.”空客此前已通过数字仿真完成相关概念验证。MacPherson表示，公司还开展了大量风洞试验，对不同设计方案进行了全面评估和优化。根据“未来机翼”项目此前提出的设计方案，机翼由17米（56英尺）的主翼翼盒和5米（16英尺）的折叠翼段组成。他预计，此次试验采用的翼尖延伸装置尺寸也将与上述方案大体一致。While Wing of Tomorrow lead Sue Partridge acknowledged that folding wings are nothing new—including within military applications—this technology has never been applied to a high-rate single-aisle commercial aircraft before.“未来机翼”项目负责人Sue Partridge表示，折叠机翼并非全新技术，在军用航空领域已有较为成熟的应用。然而，将这一技术应用于高产量单通道民航客机尚属首次，因此在工程实现和产业化方面具有重要意义。This phase comes as Airbus completes assembly of its first three ground-based wing demonstrators, which combine more than 100 technologies from 40 partners worldwide. Since 2014, the UK Aerospace Technology Institute program has put £227 million ($304 million) behind Wing of Tomorrow.随着项目进入新阶段，空客已完成首批三套地面机翼验证件的组装工作。这些验证件集成了来自全球40家合作伙伴的100余项关键技术。自2014年以来，在英国航空航天技术研究院（ATI）的支持下，“未来机翼”项目累计获得2.27亿英镑（约3.04亿美元）的研发资金支持。本播客的音频及内容不得用于AI模型训练等用途。本期《飞行汇报》就到这里了。感谢收听。主播Olivia，剪辑Priscilla。《飞行汇报》由《飞行故事汇》团队倾情打造。各大播客平台都可以收听。同时，期待在留言栏看到你的文字。咱们下期节目再会。
