Airbus’s A350-1000 and Boeing’s upcoming 777X family are the two widebodies that dominate the conversation around the flagship class of airline fleets. Although the 777X has not yet entered production, it is highly anticipated in the race to replace the old four-engine widebodies of the past. Both aircraft represent distinct approaches to the traditional needs of air carriers despite their promises of revolutionary improvements in long-haul economics. Airbus has had a six-year advantage, entering service in 2018 with the A350-1000. It has accumulated a sizable amount of operating data, which makes reliable predictions, maintenance planning, and crew training simpler. The…

Arrival Of A Second Airworthy B-21 Inches Closer For U.S. Air Force | Aviation Week Network https://aviationweek.com/themes/custom/particle/dist/app-drupal/assets/awn-logo.svg Skip to main content Steve Trimble September 03, 2025 Mission systems integration started on the first flight-test aircraft for the B-21 bomber, which is a rarity for a developmental military aircraft. Radars and other sensors are typically not integrated for several years after flight tests start so that crews can focus first on airworthiness and clearing the full flight envelope.

Newest USAF Drone Begins Process in Earnest The YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft has begun its flight testing in coordination with the U.S. Air Force, taking a vital step towards the not-terrifying, super-cool future of autonomous hunter-killers. (We kid…mostly.) The current YFQ-42A is a production-representative version of the unmanned air dominance aircraft we will get once it’s produced in quantity. GA-ASI says they plan to make 1,000 such aircraft on an "accelerated timeline", and for once a defense program seems to be proceeding on time!

“What a great moment for the U.S. Air Force and for GA-ASI. It’s been our collaboration that enabled us to build and fly the YFQ-42A in just over a year. It’s an incredible achievement and I salute the Air Force for its vision and I salute our development team for delivering yet another historic first for our company.” Source: GA President David R. Alexander, commenting as the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft has begun its flight testing in coordination with the U.S. Air Force, taking a vital step for its manufacturer, General Atomics.

Airline Pilots Jettisoned 15,000 Pounds of Fuel Over Populated Areas Five years after one of its Boeing 777s dumped 15,000 pounds of jet fuel onto neighborhoods, Delta Air Lines has agreed to pay $78.75 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. The proposed settlement still requires a judge’s approval, but could distribute compensation to residents of nearly 38,000 properties. After legal fees, the payout may total about $50.6 million.

GAO Report Says that Only 69 Aviation Meteorologists Work Alongside ATC A federal watchdog says the FAA is running the nation’s air traffic system with fewer weather experts than ever, and the trend is not looking encouraging. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report claims that just 69 aviation meteorologists are currently stationed alongside air traffic controllers.

Startup Lunar Outpost Outlines Its Moon Rover Road Map | Aviation Week Network https://aviationweek.com/themes/custom/particle/dist/app-drupal/assets/awn-logo.svg Skip to main content Guy Norris September 03, 2025 The Raven, a prototype of Lunar Outpost’s Eagle LTV, is one of two initial rovers undergoing trials in the company’s autonomous vehicle test area in Colorado.

Over the past year, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY), a US-based manufacturer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVTOL) aircraft, has seen its stock prices balloon more than 170%, delivering incredible returns to shareholders during a year otherwise marked by financial difficulties. However, there is one interesting caveat that a number of financial analysts have been quick to point out: the company has no revenue at this time. All of this bodes a relatively interesting question: How has Joby Aviation seen share prices rise so dramatically despite the company having no revenue-generation picture at this time? The answer is complex, and…
