Let’s get this out of the way: the air cargo industry is no longer allergic to technology. We’re not where we need to be yet – not even close – but the excuses are starting to wear thin. Over the past six years, we’ve watched the needle move from static PDFs and “call me for a rate” to over 1 million eBookings happening every year…on one platform alone. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about volume. It’s about who’s adopting, how, and why now. I recently sat down with Jyothi Shankaran from the STAT Times to unpack what’s working,…

PARIS — Space has become a war-fighting domain, an assessment that calls for doctrinal changes and the ability to intervene there more quickly, space-force leaders from several NATO countries said at the Space Defense and Security Summit here on Tuesday.“The rule-based international order in space is nearly over,” said Brig. Gen. Jürgen Schrödl, a division head with responsibility for space at the German Ministry of Defence’s strategy and operations department. “We have to accept that space is a tested domain, is a war-fighting domain, is becoming a war-fighting domain.”The language is a step up from more diplomatic assessments at the…
The markings underline the Hawkeye’s critical role in the defense against drones and missiles during the events in the Middle East in late 2024. Freelance news photojournalist Matt Hartman shared on X some photos of a U.S. Navy E-2D Hawkeye, assigned to Airborne Command and Control Squadron (VAW) 117, also known as the “Wallbangers,” captured while landing at Naval Air Station Point Mugu during the Gray Flag large force test event on Sept. 17, 2025. An interesting aspect of these photos immediately catches the eye: the kill markings of drones and cruise missiles. In fact, the aircraft sports on its…
Proper torque is essential when installing aircraft bolts. With their threaded body or “shank,” bolts offer a convenient way to fasten parts. You can drive a bolt through two or more parts to secure them together. When used to assemble aircraft parts, however, proper torque is required. The Basics of Torque Torque is a measurement of rotational force. High torque indicates a strong rotational force, whereas low torque indicates a weak rotational force. Torque takes into account the total applied force and the perpendicular distance from the point at which the turning or rotation began. It’s essentially the force multiplied…

By Chris Sloan Sept. 16, 2025, © Leeham News: At the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Aerospace Summit, the topic of tariffs dominated the discussion — and industry leaders didn’t hold back in calling for a return to tariff-free skies. Airbus: “A Very Successful Agreement for All” Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus, opened with a reminder of what’s at stake. “The so-called zero for zero, the 1979 agreement with no tariffs on aerospace goods, has led to the very successful benefits for all involved,” he said. Faury boasted Airbus’s role in strengthening the U.S. aerospace trade position, particularly with its…
