🚁 Vertical Aerospace Flies Second eVTOL

Vertical Aerospace launched its second full-size electric eVTOL prototype, Valo, on June 5 at its UK test center, doubling its flight test fleet.

Valo has eight motors with tilt and folding props, cruises at 240 km/h, carries a pilot plus 4 passengers, and has a 161 km range. It will later convert to a hybrid-electric version for longer range and heavier loads.

The company aims for commercial certification by 2028 and has about 1500 preorders, including from American Airlines and Japan Airlines. It passed a key milestone in April with a full transition flight under regulator supervision.

🍏 iOS 27 Spatial Reframing pushed to extremes

The new Spatial Reframing feature in iOS 27 uses AI to adjust the angle of a photo after it's taken, allowing users to slightly rotate and improve the shot's composition.

A blogger named itsjackington tested the feature to its limits, pushing the reframing far beyond typical use cases.

The results are striking and show how far the AI can manipulate images, for better or worse.

⚑ FAW Jiefang tests sodium-ion electric truck

FAW Jiefang ran an electric truck with a 339 kWh sodium-ion battery over 15,000 km in real conditions. The battery kept over 90% capacity at βˆ’40 Β°C and charged fully in 20-25 minutes.

The truck’s battery was developed with Zhongke Haina and offers more than 8,000 fast charge cycles. Sodium-ion chemistry is cheaper and more stable under heat than lithium, making it a strong alternative for heavy-duty vehicles.

πŸ€– Notion Integrates Claude Agents in Beta

Notion added support for Claude agents in its beta, letting users work with Claude directly inside their workspace. The new Agents section in the sidebar lets you pick Claude, start from a template or scratch, and set instructions and triggers.

Claude agents can answer chat questions, handle documents and task boards, and create or edit content. They only access pages and databases you allow and cannot browse the internet or call other agents. Usage consumes Notion credits, with no separate Anthropic account or keys needed.
