Pratt & Whitney shared a new video about the XA103 engine, with a computer-generated rendition of what could be an F-47-inspired design. Pratt & Whitney has shared on Feb. 18, 2026, a new video about the XA103 being developed for the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program. The program, which sees P&W competing against General Electric, is notably developing the engine which will power the Boeing F-47, the winner of the competition for the U.S. Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) manned fighter. Interestingly, the final part of the video is the one attracting most of the attention online,…

Hello from Germany, as I just flew Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER business class on the 6hr35min flight from Dubai (DXB) to Frankfurt (FRA). I was excited about this flight, as it was operated by one of Emirates’ newly retrofitted 777s, featuring the carrier’s new business class. All-in-all, I had a lovely flight, with a comfortable cabin, a very friendly crew, and great food and drinks. That being said, if I had to choose, I definitely prefer Emirates’ A350 business class, which I flew on the previous sector. In this post I’d like to share some initial thoughts on this 777 flight,…

NASA released a 300-page investigative report on February 19, 2026, into Boeing’s troubled first crewed Starliner mission and formally labeled the flight a “Type A mishap,” the agency’s most serious safety classification, after a test flight meant to last about two weeks stretched into a months-long saga that sent the spacecraft home without its astronauts.   New NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the agency and Boeing both bear responsibility for what went wrong.   “While Boeing built Starliner, NASA accepted it and launched two astronauts to space,” Isaacman said, adding that the technical problems that surfaced as the capsule approached the International Space Station were “very…

Dating back to the days of sailing vessels and piracy on the high seas, the intimidating black flag with a white skull and crossbones logo has adorned U.S. Navy aircraft since 1943. Flying some of history’s most feared and well-known aircraft, squadrons bearing the Jolly Rogers name have carried a tradition of U.S. Naval aviation excellence through many conflicts, beginning with the Chance-Vought F4U Corsair and continuing to this day in the Boeing F/A-18 E and F model Super Hornet. Their motto of ‘Fear the Bones’ has always been supported by the best aircraft and pilots the Navy has to…

The FAA has deployed new technology at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) that replaces the paper flight strips that have long served as the backbone of flight operations across the United States with new digital tools developed by Leidos. The system, created for the FAA’s Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) program, introduces digital flight strips and a shared surface display intended to give controllers a real-time view of what’s happening on the ground. Leidos says the platform also provides real-time data and predictive modeling tools aimed at helping optimize aircraft movements, reduce delays, improve coordination, and strengthen safety at one of the US’s busiest…

“With Crew-12 safely on orbit, America and our international partners once again demonstrated the professionalism, preparation, and teamwork required for human spaceflight. The research this crew will conduct aboard the space station advances critical technologies for deep space exploration while delivering real benefits here on Earth.” Source: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman commenting as Crew 12 safely docked with the ISS.

Lost Communications Loss of the ability to communicate by radio. Aircraft are sometimes referred to as NORDO (No Radio). Standard pilot procedures are specified in 14 CFR part 91. Radar controllers issue procedures for pilots to follow in the event of lost communications during a radar approach when weather reports indicate that an aircraft will likely encounter IFR weather conditions during the approach.

Pilot Reported The Airplane’s Braking Was Ineffective Due To The Runway Being Wet And Recently Rolled Analysis: The pilot reported that while landing on a wet grass runway, the airplane touched down “a little long.” The pilot was unable to stop the airplane, and it departed the end of the runway surface into an agricultural field. He then attempted to avoid the agricultural vegetation off the end of the runway by turning the airplane to the left; however, the airplane entered a skid and subsequently impacted the vegetation which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
