Russia is reportedly close to completing shipments of modified Shahed-type drones to Iran, according to Western intelligence cited by the Financial Times, in what would mark a striking reversal in the wartime drone relationship between Moscow and Tehran. The FT said the transfers began in early March 2026 and were expected to be completed by the end of the month. The drones are described as Geran systems, Russian-produced variants of the Iranian-designed Shahed-136, a one-way attack drone Tehran originally supplied to Moscow for use in Ukraine.

March 26, 2026, © Leeham News: In our series on the state of alternative propulsion projects, we are looking at different hydrogen-fueled propulsion systems.Hydrogen can be processed chemically in a fuel cell to produce electrical power, which is then coupled to an electrical propulsion system, such as in hybrids or battery-electric aircraft. The advantage is that the system eliminates inefficient batteries that kill these systems.Figure 1. The 100-seat fuel cell airliner is now Airbus’ ZEROe alternative.

Navigation Reference System (NRS) The NRS is a system of waypoints for use within the United States for flight planning and navigation without reference to ground based navigational aids. These waypoints are located in a grid pattern along defined latitude and longitude lines and are available for use at or above FL180 by aircraft capable of point?to?point navigation.
The Airplane Came To Rest Adjacent To A Large Tree About 1.4 Miles South-Southwest Of The Departure Airport Analysis: The private pilot and two passengers departed in the experimental airplane into day visual flight rules conditions for a local personal flight. A witness reported that the airplane departed to the south, and that the takeoff seemed routine and there were no obvious anomalies with the airplane. About 15 to 20 minutes later, local authorities received a report of an explosion. Upon arriving at the site, first responders observed the airplane with an active fire. There were no known witnesses to…

The project takes a proven light turbine helicopter, removes the pilot from the equation, and turns it into a cargo hauler for internal and external lift, remote-site resupply, disaster response, and the kind of contested logistics planners talk about more every year. West Desert Airpark in Utah won an appeal…

The US House of Representatives passed legislation aimed at opening the skies to civil supersonic flight over land, a step supporters say could usher in a new era of air travel in the United States. The bill, approved by voice vote on March 24, 2026, would require the FAA to revise its rules within a year to allow civil aircraft to fly faster than Mach 1 over land without special authorization, provided no sonic boom reaches the ground. The measure, H.R. 3410, is titled the Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act. It targets a long-standing FAA ban dating to 1973, when regulators…
