Lockheed Martin is in the final stages of developing and delivering the X-59 Quesst. It’s a supersonic aircraft that will be headed to NASA, and it promises to upend the supersonic aircraft industry. Whereas other experimental supersonic planes focus on breaking the boundaries regarding speed or capability, the X-59 is all about noise, or lack thereof. The purpose of the X-59 is to experiment with aircraft design to turn the infamous sonic “boom” into a sonic “thump.” The results of this program could have serious effects across all of aviation. The technologies that are being worked on in quiet aerodynamics,…

The Kizilelma is slated to fly alongside the KAAN as its primary Collaborative Combat Aircraft, along with the ANKA-III. Turkey’s Kizilelma UCAV, developed by drone and aerospace major Baykar, attained major milestones from late September to the early days of October with captive carry trials of homegrown air-to-ground munitions. On Sep. 27, 2025, Baykar announced the Kizilelma carried the TOLUN glide bomb, followed by the TEBER-82 guided bomb on Oct. 3, releasing footage on both occasions. The Kizilelma is shown carrying two TOLUNs, one unit each on a SADAK-4T quad-rack under each of the wings, and is flying at low…

The long-awaited Boeing 777X is the latest variant of the Boeing 777 family of long-range widebody twin-engine jetliners. It was launched in November 2013 and aims to be the largest and most fuel-efficient twinjet in the world. But why did Boeing decide on a new, elegant cabin architecture for the 777X? Let’s find out more. There are two variants of the aircraft, the Boeing 777-9, the largest of the two and the longest passenger aircraft ever built, and the Boeing 777-8, the ultra-long-range variant. Their new features include the General Electric GE9X engines, composite wings with a folding wingtip, and…

Italian carrier Neos has suspended its Amritsar-Milan-Toronto route indefinitely due to “international geopolitical instability,” which has caused bookings to plummet. As a result, low load factors have made the route economically unsustainable, so Neos will now be absent from Canada entirely pending further notice. The airline made its entrance to the transatlantic market less than four years ago with a direct service between Milan Malpensa Airport (MPX) and New York JFK International Airport (JFK) launching in November 2021, served by its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner fleet.

In the wake of Iceland’s Play ceasing operations and Swedish carrier Braathens filing for bankruptcy, the Group CEO of Ryanair explicitly states he believes carriers such as easyJet and Wizz, among other carriers in the continent, are in serious trouble. While known for his outspoken views and comments, one thing Michael O’Leary knows for sure is the business of running an airline. Ryanair itself, having made considerable changes in its network recently, it appears that all three significant low-cost carriers within Europe are going through their own challenges.

Despite increased political tensions between the two neighboring countries in recent years, transborder traffic to the United States of America remains a key market for Canadian flag carrier Air Canada. Indeed, data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company, shows that it has scheduled a grand total of 10,356 flights on routes to and from the US this month, offering 1,213,760 seats and 1,345,171,933 ASMs. However, this aspect of the Star Alliance founding member’s operations is dominated by regional jets, with only 4,175 of these flights, or around 40.3%, being marketed as mainline Air Canada flights. Here, the Airbus A220, A320,…

It was reported by AIN back in July, that Boeing had reached a major developmental milestone on the 777X project, and finally started series production of the 777-8F freighter variant. Preparing a new aircraft for service is a slow and careful process, as many construction procedures are being executed for the first time. There is also the matter of certification, so there is still a small window before the first Boeing 777-8F is delivered. However, with this new highly anticipated freighter preparing to make its debut, orders have started to flow in. Boeing’s competitor, Airbus, also has a revolutionary freighter…

Boeing’s long-awaited 777X is expected to be a game changer in modern aviation. However, given its continued delays, fleet renewal and expansion plans from many of the world’s largest airlines are heading into a tailspin. The 777X, assembled at the Boeing Everett Factory outside of Seattle, Washington, continues to be tested and has yet to receive Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. The 777X was first launched in 2013, but only took its first test flight in 2020. From there, airlines have experienced delay after delay, and now the industry is only expecting to see the first delivery of the type…

IAG-owned Iberia has introduced another transatlantic service operated by its Airbus A321XLR narrowbody aircraft. The Spanish airline has debuted its regular transatlantic flight to Latin America using the long-range single-aisle jet. The flight connected Madrid (MAD) with Santo Domingo (SDQ) in the Dominican Republic, marking the airline’s regular entry into the Latin American market with the long-range single-aisle jet. It is worth noting that Iberia launched its flights to San Juan (SJU), Puerto Rico, two weeks before beginning regular service to Santo Domingo. While San Juan is located in the Caribbean and shares strong cultural and linguistic ties with Latin…

Pilot… Attempted To Enter The Right Side Of The Aircraft And Inadvertently Sat On The Throttle Control Analysis: Security camera video footage showed the pilot fuel the powered parachute and then start the engine. The pilot then attempted to enter the right side of the aircraft and inadvertently sat on the throttle control, bending it into the “full throttle” position. The pilot was never strapped into the seat with the four-point restraint system and the aircraft departed across the airport. The aircraft entered a grass field, impacted terrain, cartwheeled, and the pilot was ejected. The aircraft came to rest upright,…
