The United States Air Force and Navy maintain different aircraft fleets that are shaped by their respective operational environments and strategic requirements. Fighter jets make up 32.2% of the Air Force’s impressive inventory of 5,004 aircraft, (roughly 1,610 fighters), as of 2025, according to the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft (WDMMA). The Navy’s aviation branch, which includes both Navy aircraft stationed aboard carriers and bases ashore, operates a significantly smaller fleet of 2,504 aircraft. Fighters account for a greater proportion of this force at 39.7%, or about 995 airframes, highlighting the vital role that these planes play in projecting…

GE Aerospace is teaming with Boston-based startup Merlin, a developer of autonomous flight systems for military and civil aircraft, to create an artificial intelligence platform that the companies predict could change how future aircraft are flown.  The companies are building what they call an “autonomy core,” a reimagined avionics environment rather than a new cockpit design. The system combines GE’s widely used flight management technology with Merlin’s autonomy software to act as the central brains for future flight decks.   The companies say the technology will reduce pilot workload, support single-pilot operations in large aircraft, and could eventually enable AI-powered uncrewed missions.  The…

One of America’s ‘Big Three’ airlines has been flirting with the idea of adding the Boeing 787 to its growing long-haul fleet. Such a move could see the majority of Airbus’ widebody fleet at Delta Air Lines be broken with the introduction of one of the most successful widebody aircraft of all time. The 787 is one of the most popular widebody aircraft of this decade, and airlines around the world are utilizing these aircraft to rejuvenate their aging fleets, as well as to open up new routes, given the Dreamliner’s capabilities and range. Such examples of this were the…
