随着一批攻击性高超声速武器进入关键的飞行测试阶段，美国导弹防御局（MDA）已经推出了一种高超声速防御架构，一些行业和军方官员认为这种对高超声速武器进行防御的架构可能涉及的范围更广，而且比采用高超声速武器打击对手更具挑战性。 As a crop of offensive hypersonic weapons approaches a crucial flight-testing phase, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has advanced a hypersonic defense architecture that some industry and military officials describe as potentially broader in scope and more challenging to achieve than their attacking counterparts.

The ADS-B compliance date is hard on the horizon. As of May, the number of turbine-powered U.S. business aircraft equipped with ADS-B rose to 77% of the fleet.
In April, CFM International* (CFM) reached a new production milestone when employees built and assembled the 15,000th CFM56-7B jet engine destined for a Boeing Next-Generation 737 airplane.
Where GE’s Flight Management System delivers gains in efficiency and economy for individual flights, the new Connected FMS aims to provide even greater gains for the fleet. The capability to optimize flight plans while in route promises significant benefits. The process is fast, efficient and secure.
With new scope negotiations due between now and 2022, OEMs are hopeful enough changes will enable their new crossover narrowbody jets to penetrate the North American market.
Watch the 1999 documentary featuring Joe Sutter, who said: "I believe the 747 program is just in its midlife. You’ll see this airplane flying another 20 or 30 years from now. It’ll be in production for something like 50 years.”
CFM's next-gen engine has racked up some impressive statistics in the 29 months since the first LEAP-powered airplane entered airline service in August 2016.
The big question for OEMs now is how much further new crossover narrowbody jets can penetrate the European market compared with previous generations of aircraft.
GE and Safran Aircraft Engines' customer technical training teams are implementing newer digital methods to bring maintainers up to speed more quickly.
The aircraft, MSN1888, took off Tuesday morning from Blagnac, France for its maiden flight. The crew will perform flight-physics tests required for this variant.
The Boeing 747, dubbed the Queen of the Skies, has graced the cover of Aviation Week & Space Technology on numerous occasions since its inception. We’ve scoured Aviation Week’s digital archives to chart some of the 747’s most prominent cover stories.
Digital innovation is about to change the image of the entire jet refueling process. It is becoming paperless, more efficient and cheaper too, allowing everyone involved to benefit.
Explore the shift to model-based engineering, the tools and technology available to support engineers, and the benefits to be seen in this white paper.
