AVweb’s weekly news roundup found reports on a new partnership for Transcend Air Corporation, Air Astana’s adoption of a flight safety tool, an agreement between SKYTRAC and Vmo Solutions, and an upcoming documentary series on the history and future of the world’s fastest vehicles. Whole aircraft rescue parachute system manufacturer BRS Aerospace and Transcend Air Corporation have announced a partnership to integrate a BRS parachute system into Transcend’s Vy 400. The Vy 400 concept is a six-seat, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft designed for “city-center to city-center mobility.”

Kazakhstan’s Air Astana will be using CEFA’s Flight Animation System (FAS) to augment the airline’s safety program. The CEFA FAS software can be used to re-create realistic animated 3D views, cockpit instruments and environments from recorded flight data for later review. Also creating a new partnership, Vmo Solutions and SKYTRAC have formalized an integration agreement “to optimize operations for their mutual clients.” The deal will combine Vmo’s web-based operational control software with SKYTRAC’s flight data monitoring solutions.

Finally, streaming and on-demand site CuriosityStream has announced its four-part documentary series SPEED will premiere on April 18 on the company’s website. The series explores the human “need for speed” from historic vehicles to predictions about speedy technologies yet to be developed.
