In a breakthrough use of computer vision, Airbus makes swift progress in its autonomous takeoff-and-landing project.

Undoing Boeing’s stockpile of roughly 900 grounded, parked and partially built MAXs and recoordinating its supply chain could take years.

Next-Generation Interceptors could be emplaced in the ground by the end of the decade.

Flight test exposed Starliner software glitches, but NASA is more concerned about what else may be lurking in process flaws.

Accelerating plans to land astronauts on the Moon in 2024 will cost $35 billion, says NASA.

Boeing appears to be redirecting its next new airliner project to compete more directly with the long-range Airbus A321XLR rather than take on the broader 757-767 replacement market previously studied under the shelved New Midmarket Airplane project.

EASA has released the first edition of its “Artificial Intelligence Roadmap,” a document that begins to answer OEMs’ questions on how to certify an AI-based system.

NASA’s Artemis initiative to return human explorers to the Moon’s surface in 2024 is expected to cost about $35 billion going forward, Douglas Loverro, NASA’s new associate administrator for human exploration and operations, told a Feb. 10 news briefing at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

The Trump administration’s fiscal 2021 defense budget request is “flat” for the Pentagon but doubles down on space, hypersonic and cyber capabilities against China, Russia and others and would make recent changes to the national security structure “irreversible,” officials said Feb 10.

The Trump administration has proposed a fiscal 2021 budget of $17.5 billion for the FAA, which includes new funding for safety oversight in response to the Boeing 737 MAX crashes, but falls below the budget enacted for the current fiscal year.
