As low-cost carriers continue to target growth, a new report explores the effect their expansion has had on European leisure, work and study habits.

First British Apaches have been sent to the U.S. for remanufacturing to AH-64E standard.

The latest version of Boeing’s attack helicopter looks set to be the most successful so far in terms of sales.

Today’s military technologies have grown out of the past’s government-sponsored science.

Aircraft by Tecnam, a small, family-owned Italian company, are reinvigorating small city regionals and serving NASA’s e-flight explorations.

The Israeli Air Force has employed the Lockheed Martin-made aircraft across the Middle East.

Britain is looking to step up its role as an international space power not only commercially, but militarily too.

The FAA says it has nearly completed the installation of key systems that comprise the NextGen infrastructure.

Performance margins built into Karem’s Butterfly quad-tiltrotor eVTOL have allowed Uber to show its aerial-ride-sharing requirements can be met with available battery technology.

An ICAO mission to North Korea has yielded aviation safety commitments that could lead to airlines resuming flights through the nation's airspace.

Lockheed AEHF satellite test; Indonesia wants eight more Apaches; India tests BrahMos life extension; Northrop upgrades Japan’s missile warning infrastructure.

Dimensions show that the CR929 will have a bigger cabin than the A330-900. It is now almost as long and is wide enough for nine-abreast seating.

JetSuiteX’s short-haul flights between secondary cities fit with Zunum’s strategy for revitalizing regional air transport with hybrid-electric propulsion.

GE Aviation sees its new Catalyst advanced turboprop as the potential core for a new generation of hybrid-electric propulsion systems.

As NASA prepares for start of commercial spaceflight, ‘load and go’ is among operational alternatives it will assess as a system.

Hit by successive delays, the rebaselined MRJ90 test plan is on a firmer footing and staying on its revised certification schedule, says Mitsubishi.

P.2HH development is being backed by the Italian Air Force, which wants to purchase 10 systems.

The introduction of a fully redundant precision landing mode in the Super Hornet and Growler should eliminate the need for stick-and-throttle carrier landings.

Software testbeds developed by Ball Aerospace and BAE Systems are evaluating a new app-based approach to situational awareness and command and control in space.

But Boeing argues it has long been a “proactive partner” in efforts to mitigate physiological events in F/A 18s.

Spacecraft software for drones, DARPA’s Gremlins on show, gunship launches drone, AACUS in action, HorseFly drone delivers, and recovery parachute for eVTOLs.

The use of flightpath and energy cues has long be standard in military and business aviation. It is coming to commercial aircraft, at last.

New program ignites slow-moving FAA effort to introduce drones more widely into the U.S. national airspace system.
