Avionics Support Group, Inc., Miami Florida received an FAA STC for the Collins Aerospace SATCOM SAT-2200, SDU P/N 822-2556 or 822-2556-103. The STC ST12327AT replaces the existing SATCOM, making it a fast installation. Some of the benefits are:

Safety-Critical Applications: It provides secure and seamless voice and data connections for safety and non-safety critical applications
Efficiency and Scalability: Designed for maximum efficiency and scalability, it is one of the lightest and smallest SATCOMs available
Compliance with Standards: It complies with the latest ARINC 781 industry standard for Inmarsat SATCOM capability, ensuring compliance with air traffic services
Compact Solution: The SAT-2200 embeds multiple functions in a single unit, making it easy to install and maintain
Automatic Handover: It maintains communications without pilot intervention during all flight phases, enhancing operational efficiency

Dutch start-up Elysian Aircraft has tweaked the configuration of its planned E9X regional aircraft as part of the conceptual design review phase, extending the wingspan beyond 50m (164ft), trimming the number of electric motors from eight to six, and upping the maximum take-off weight to more than 80t.

Dr Reynard de Vries, Elysian chief engineer, says the changes were implemented after the company “revisited” its initial design choices and reanalysed the underlying calculations and assumptions.

“Overall the outcome of these studies was positive in the sense there were no showstoppers,” he says. However, certain tweaks were nonetheless required based on a better understanding of the overall concept and the maturity of key technologies.

Those in-house studies built on earlier analysis of the more challenging aspects of the E9X – a list of 10 areas Elysian referred to as “hot potatoes”.

Deutsche Aircraft has advanced the development of its D328eco regional turboprop by deploying an integrated, model based digital engineering environment built on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The move marks a significant programme milestone and strengthens the company’s strategy to industrialise the D328eco using a modern, data driven development and production ecosystem.

The D328eco, a next generation evolution of the Dornier 328, is being designed for short and medium range operations with upgraded performance, modern avionics and full compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). By incorporating virtual design, simulation and validation early in the programme, Deutsche Aircraft can assess system behaviour, structural loads and cabin configurations before physical manufacturing begins. This approach supports risk reduction, accelerates decision cycles and helps maintain development timelines as the programme progresses toward industrial maturity.
