Boeing is currently constructing a new facility to ramp up its 787 Dreamliner production. Currently, the jet’s backlog is growing, and airlines have to wait for years to receive their jets, but, in 2025, Boeing has thus far experienced the second-best year ever for its 787 orders. As of early November, it has received orders for 321 Dreamliners in 2025. This is the second-most orders for the aircraft in history, only behind 2007 when Boeing received 369 orders. However, this is also far above the number of Dreamliners Boeing is currently able to produce and deliver in a reasonable time…

The F-15 Eagle is an icon of the United States Air Force, synonymous with aerial superiority and engineering excellence. Before it entered service, it had to prove that it could fulfill the needs of the Air Force better than the rest. Its competitor has essentially been forgotten, but at one time represented a very exciting design. The now-defunct plane maker known as North American Aviation (NAA) was once among the leaders of us aerospace companies, pioneering the dawn of the jet age. North American produced one of the fastest jet to ever fly from an aircraft carrier, as well as…

Few aircraft have reshaped global aviation as profoundly as the Boeing 747. When it first took to the skies in 1969, the 747 redefined what was possible in long-haul air travel. Its unprecedented size, range, and capacity made international flying more accessible than ever, ushering in the era of mass global tourism. Nicknamed the ‘Queen of the Skies,’ the 747 became a cultural icon, sporting the liveries of nearly every major airline, starring in Hollywood films, and carrying astronauts, presidents, and millions of everyday travelers. However, even legendary aircraft must eventually bow out, and in December 2022, Boeing completed final…

In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has urged major airlines to avoid flying over Venezuela due to a ‘potentially hazardous situation’. Carriers have been warned to exercise caution, following a worsening security situation. As noted by Reuters, the FAA has stressed that these threats could pose risks for any aircraft at any altitude. Recent weeks have seen a buildup of American military in the region, which has included the deployment of nine warships, F-35 aircraft, and the U.S. Navy’s largest aircraft carrier and the world’s largest warship. The USS Gerald R. Ford operates as a mobile airbase…

In a remote corner of Kolkata airport, a Boeing 737 belonging to Air India sat decaying. The Star Alliance carrier, which was privatised three years ago with the sale to Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, this week took steps to sell this airplane, which has been grounded for over a decade. According to multiple media outlets, the Boeing 737-200 cargo-configured aircraft was ‘forgotten’ about. The new owners of Air Indiaa were only recently notified of their ownership of the abandoned aircraft, which prompted the airline to trace the plane’s origins and history. Since this revelation, the aircraft has been sold.…

The Boeing 777X is set to revolutionize long-haul air travel when it enters commercial service in 2027. The widebody aircraft showcases the latest in aircraft technology to provide airlines with superior operational efficiency and passengers with a superior onboard experience. Although the 777X’s entry into commercial service has been pushed back by seven years, Boeing has already built multiple examples of the aircraft. In this article, we will take a look at why Boeing has already built so many 777Xs, despite the anticipated delivery date still being more than 12 months away. We will also examine some of the unique…

Few defense projects have attracted as much attention and controversy as the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. It was conceived as the backbone of modern Western airpower, but it has become one of the most expensive programs in aviation history. In recent months, the jet has again faced heavy fire, not from the battlefield, but from public and political debate. The criticism was reignited by rising sustainment costs, uneven maintenance records, and lingering questions about its full range of capabilities. For military operators, these issues affect readiness, budgets, and long-term planning. This renewed focus highlights the core challenge of building…

The Croatian city of Dubrovnik is quietly emerging as one of the most likely candidates for American Airlines’ next European leisure destination. The city’s airport has confirmed high-level talks with American Airlines and with officials from the airline’s hub at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), and it clearly has an interest in securing additional nonstop links to the United States beyond a single nonstop operation to the New York Area, which is operated by United Airlines. At the same time, Dubrovnik is continuing to post record passenger and tourism numbers, and it has increasingly become one of Europe’s most recognizable…

The veteran trijet, McDonnell Douglas MD-11, is once again under scrutiny following the tragic crash of a UPS Airlines cargo jet in Louisville, Kentucky. Although these jets are now only seen flying freight, originally most of them were made to carry passengers. That did not last long as the plane quickly earned a bad reputation among operators, aircrew, and even customers for its rough handling and poor performance. The jet was Notorious for a high hard-landing rate, far more frequent than that of competing airliners. It is easy to simply chalk that up to pilot skill. However, there were design…

British engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce is currently in the process of testing new technology at its Derby site in order to protect jet engines from the damaging effects of desert dust and sand. Fine particles ingested during take-off can enter the hottest parts of an engine, corroding components, clogging internal passages, and forcing more frequent engine overhauls, especially for aircraft flying in the Middle East. This issue does not affect flight safety, but it does hurt efficiency, fuel burn, and overall durability. The new text campaign undertaken by the manufacturer aims to understand exactly how dust degrades hardware and to validate…
