Jetoptera Executes FETT for FTC-250 at Paris Air Show 2025

PARIS, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On the occasion of Jetoptera's debut at the Paris Air Show 2025, we are proud to announce the successful completion of the first test of the engine that will power the J-500, the 500-lb VTOL cargo unmanned aircraft system Jetoptera is developing in collaboration with Eanan Al Samma, for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) market. The First Engine To Test (FETT) was evaluated at the VAN DER LEE Turbo Systems facilities in Zaandam, The Netherlands. The 250 kW turbocompressor, that is the heart of the Fluidic Propulsive System™, is a two-shaft engine using a free turbine that is mechanically coupled to a two-stage axial compressor designed to produce the appropriate flow rates and pressure ratios required by the FPS™. 'The FETT demonstrated a very smooth startup and operability when operated in a turbofan mode. The engine was instrumented in this configuration, to monitor pressure and temperature as well as thrust produced. The next step includes the performance mapping of the turbocompressor, followed by the integration with the FPS™ onto the J-500 airframe,' said Dr Andrei Evulet, CEO/CTO of Jetoptera, Inc. The J-500 prototype is developed specifically for the UAE and MENA market and will be uniquely enabled by the FPS™ to perform unmanned cargo missions with VTOL and unmatched speed, low noise, and reliability thanks to the patented propulsion system. The modularity of the FTC-250 system allows its components to operate in turbojet, turbofan and FPS™ modes. Jetoptera and Eanan Al Samma thank Parametric Solutions, Inc. and VAN DER LEE Turbo Systems for their critical support in the design and manufacturing of the unique FTC-250 architecture in record time.

'In many ways, he is York's caretaker': street cleaner wins award

A street cleaning supervisor in York has been named 'Best Ambassador' in a UK and Ireland-wide award event. Chris Patrick, who works for York BID, was recognised at the 2025 Association of Town & City Management (ATCM) Awards - which were held in Bradford on Wednesday (June 18) - for his dedication to keeping York city centre's streets clean. Mr Patrick said: "I take enormous pride in caring for this beautiful city. "Winning this award is a wonderful surprise, and I want to thank the whole team who roll up their sleeves with me every single morning – rain, shine, or floods. "We love York and we want everyone who lives, works, or visits here to see it at its best." A former chef who wanted to work outdoors and contribute to his community, Mr Patrick has led York BID's cleaning operations for eight years. Mr Patrick and the York BID team celebrated his win at the awards ceremony, which took place in Bradford on Wednesday (June 18) (Image: Supplied) A spokesperson said: "Most weekday mornings – before the city wakes up – Chris and his team are already out in the city centre tackling unsightly messes, including human waste and drug paraphernalia, with a can-do, positive attitude." Carl Alsop, operations manager at York BID, said: "There's not a hotel in York that wouldn't welcome Chris with a bacon sandwich – that's how far above and beyond he goes. "His attention to detail, strong initiative, and willingness to help mean he's always finding ways to make the city better – whether it's planting, painting, or quietly supporting events." Mr Patrick's work goes beyond cleaning: he also prepares street furniture for Rejuvenation Days; weeds; and plants - and he has even rescued a Nutcracker statue. A spokesperson said: "He's often behind the scenes making things better without seeking recognition." Carl Nickson, managing director of Eboracum UK, the delivery partner for York BID's cleaning service, said: "York simply wouldn't be the same without Chris. "As the street cleaning supervisor, he's more than a team leader – he's the heart behind the city's daily transformation. "He notices the details no one else sees and takes on challenges without complaint. "In many ways, he is York's caretaker." The rapid response cleaning service, which Mr Patrick helps to lead, ensures that entranceways and footpaths in the city centre are safe and clean. The service was described by a spokesperson as "a vital lifeline for levy-paying businesses." The ATCM Awards celebrate excellence in place-making and place-management across the UK and Ireland. The 'Best Ambassador, Warden, or Ranger' category recognises individuals who go above and beyond to create clean, safe, and welcoming environments.

ISG to Study Providers of Strategic Insurance Services

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched four research studies examining providers of services that address the complex needs of insurance enterprises. Insurance enterprises are navigating digital transformation, embracing advancements in AI and digital engineering.

Share The study results will be published in four ISG Provider Lens™ reports: Insurance Global Capability Centers (GCCs) by Service Providers, Insurance GenAI and Agentic AI Services, Insurance Services Specialists and Insurance Digital Engineering Services.

The insurance services ecosystem is evolving to address demands for streamlined processes, enhanced customer interactions and greater adaptability. Insurance companies increasingly use GCCs as essential hubs to boost operational efficiency. The integration of advanced AI technologies, such as generative AI and agentic AI, has become crucial for enhancing customer experience and operational resilience.

At the same time, digital engineering is transforming the industry by streamlining design-to-execution processes. 'Insurance enterprises are navigating a steep landscape of digital transformation, embracing advancements in AI and digital engineering,' said Iain Fisher, director at ISG.
