The S-70UAS U-Hawk is a modified UH-60L that removes the cockpit entirely to create an uncrewed, mission-flexible platform designed for logistics, support, and future air-ground teaming missions.

The end of the year is fast approaching. Cirium Diio data for November shows the Boeing 787 (the 8, 9, and 10 variants combined) will operate more than one in four of the world’s long-haul flights (27%).
