Unfortunately it’s very bad news for employees. Spirit Airlines reducing capacity, furloughing employees In the coming weeks, Spirit plans to reduce its overall capacity by around 25%, and suspend service to around a dozen…

Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division has unveiled Vectis, a new drone that it describes as a “survivable and lethal Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).” Classified as a Group 5 drone, Vectis is designed to support both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions while flying alongside crewed fighters like the F-35.
