Latest In Advanced Air Mobility Showcased At EBACE 2022
Vehicles on display from China, Germany and Netherlands bear witness to humanity's quest for bird-like mobility—perhaps without too much of the footwork at the other end. They are representatives of a greater global effort; an initiative whose time might have come at last, thanks to recent advances in electric propulsion, aerodynamics, computer technology and materials. Autonomous or self-piloted, they have been the stuff of dreams for over a century. Now, they are here in Geneva, but are they here to last?

Beijing North Vehicle Group Corporation unveils lightweight tracked AFV
Gabriel Dominguez The Beijing North Vehicle Group Corporation, a subsidiary of the China North Industries Group Corporation (Norinco), has released video footage showing a new lightweight tracked armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) reminiscent of the German Army's Wiesel air-transportable vehicle. In a promotional video released on its WeChat page on 1 October, the company showed the small AFV – the designation of which was not disclosed – being test-driven in September by employees in a plateau area at an undisclosed location. Several other larger AFVs of multiple types were also shown in the video undergoing tests at different locations. The video, which was released to mark the 71st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, shows that the small tracked AFV features four roadwheels per side, a drive sprocket at the front of the hull, a large idler at the rear, and two return rollers supporting the track. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/beijing-north-vehicle-group-corporation-unveils-lightweight-tracked-afv
