Summary

Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

In 2015, Anselmo and his team spearheaded a digital initiative that provides subscribers with fresh content every day via mobile phones, tablets, or desktop computers. To mark Aviation Week’s 100th anniversary in 2016, the publication’s entire archive – more than 440,000 pages of articles, images, covers and advertisements – was digitized into a searchable online archive. Aviation Week also has accelerated its push into digital media with regular podcasts, videos, data features, infographics and eBooks.

Anselmo has more than 25 years of experience as an editor and reporter with Aviation Week, Congressional Quarterly and the Washington Post Company. He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.

Jack Pelton, the charismatic CEO of Textron Inc.’s Cessna Aircraft Co., cannot be faulted for seeing signs of hope in the battered business jet industry. During a recent speech in Washington, he opined that companies have a chance to lure back a good number of the thousands of workers they’ve laid off -- when the market improves. “It’s an attractive industry for a young person to be in,” Pelton says. “There are an awful lot of people waiting to get back onto the payroll at Cessna, so they can have that high quality of life.”

Boeing’s top priority should be replacing its 777 widebody jet, not the 737 narrowbody, an analyst says. J.P. Morgan’s Joseph Nadol warns that Airbus’s new A350XWB widebody family, which is scheduled to enter service in 2015, already is eating into 777 sales. He notes that 777 backlog peaked more than two years ago and now totals just 3.2 years' worth of production, compared with nearly five years' worth of production in the 737 backlog. “Boeing still needs an answer to the A350XWB,” Nadol wrote in a July 7 note to his clients.

Most wrongly guessed it was the U.K. The correct answer is China. Dowdy’s point: Chinese leaders view the last century as an aberration and are aiming to reclaim their nation’s role as a leading economic power. And creating an aircraft industry is a big part of that ambition.
