Title: "Catching Up With Ken Munro After Infosecurity Europe 2025 — Hacking the Planet, One Car, One Plane, and One System at a Time"A Post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 Conversation with Ken MunroGuestsKen Munro Security writer & speakerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-munro-17899b1/HostsSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, CMO, and Creative Director at ITSPmagazineWebsite: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________After a whirlwind week at Infosecurity Europe 2025, I had the chance to reconnect with Ken Munro from Pen Test Partners — a longtime friend, hacker, and educator who brings cybersecurity to life in the most tangible ways. From car hacking escape rooms to flight simulators in pubs, we talked about why touching tech matters, how myth-busting makes us safer, and how learning through play might just be the key to securing our increasingly complex world. Tune in, and maybe bring a cocktail.⸻There's something special about catching up with someone who's not just an expert in cybersecurity, but also someone who reminds you why this industry can — and should — be fun. Ken Munro and I go back to the early days of DEFCON's Aviation Village, and this post-Infosecurity Europe 2025 chat brought all that hacker spirit right back to the surface.Ken and his crew from Pen Test Partners set up shop next to the main Infosecurity Europe venue in a traditional London pub — but this wasn't your average afterparty. They transformed it into a hands-on hacking village, complete with a car demo, flight simulator, ICS cocktail CTF, and of course… a bar. The goal? Show that cybersecurity isn't just theory — it's something you can touch. Something that moves. Something that can break — and be fixed — before it breaks us.We talked about the infamous “Otto the Autopilot” from Airplane, the Renault Clio-turned-Mario Kart console, and why knowing how TCAS (collision avoidance) works on an Airbus matters just as much as knowing your Wi-Fi password. We also dug into the real-world cybersecurity concerns of industrial systems, electronic flight bags, and why European regulation might be outpacing the U.S. in some areas — for better or worse.One of the biggest takeaways? It's time to stop fearing the hacker mindset and start embracing it. Curiosity isn't a threat — it's a superpower. And when channeled correctly, it leads to safer skies, smarter cars, and fewer surprises in the water we drink or the power we use.There's a lot to reflect on from our conversation, but above all: education, community, and creativity are still the most powerful tools we have in security — and Ken is out there proving that, one demo and one pint at a time.Thanks again, Ken. See you at the next village — whichever pub, hangar, or DEFCON corner it ends up in.⸻Keywords: cybersecurity, ethical hacking, pen testing, Infosecurity Europe, embedded systems, car hacking, flight simulator, ICS security, industrial control systems, aviation cybersecurity, hacker mindset, DEFCON___________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Infosecurity Europe 2025 London coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosec25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

The aerospace industry stands at the intersection of extreme technological demands and cost-efficiency requirements. With aircraft manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing projecting the production of 42,500 new jets over the next 20 years, the need for precision machine tools and cutting tools has never been more critical. Aircraft construction is an intricate process that involves a complex array of materials, each presenting unique machining challenges. Aluminium alloys dominate the industry, comprising approximately 60% of aircraft components, while titanium and advanced composites play critical roles in structural and performance-critical areas. Aluminium alloys, particularly from the 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series, offer an ideal combination of lightweight properties and structural integrity. These materials require sophisticated machining approaches that balance material removal, surface quality, and dimensional precision. High-speed cutting (HSC) technologies have emerged as a vital solution, enabling manufacturers to address the demanding requirements of aerospace component production. It is in this area that Walter is innovating with its cutting tool solutions. Aircraft construction involves a complex array of materials, each presenting unique machining challenges. As aluminium alloys comprise approximately 60% of aircraft components and require sophisticated machining approaches, Walter's high-speed cutting (HSC) tools, such as the M2131 and M2331 milling cutters address the specific challenges the industry faces with these materials. The two insert sizes allow for depths of cut of 15 to 20mm, achieving chip removal rates of up to 11 litres per minute. Both milling cutters work almost seamlessly when repositioned, resulting in smooth surfaces even during pre-finishing. The dense, smooth PVD coating of the cutting edges makes them extremely stable and also ensures that there is hardly any cutting edge build-up. The creative design of the insert seat secures the insert against the high centrifugal forces that occur during high-speed cutting. At the same time, internal cooling channels deliver the coolant directly to the cutting edge to extend tool life and ensure exceptional chip evacuation. Titanium Alloys: Conquering Difficult Machining While aluminium alloys are used for fuselages and wings, titanium alloys, such as TiAl6V4 or Ti5553, are employed where an exceptionally high degree of rigidity is required, such as in landing gear components, struts, or flap tracks. The hardness and low thermal conductivity of titanium necessitate high requirements for the cutting tools, particularly regarding process reliability. Rapid cutting edge wear and low cutting parameters make machining titanium parts very time-consuming. Companies that succeed in reducing the machining time per component maintain a clear competitive advantage. Here, the Walter BLAXX M3255 helical milling cutter provides breakthrough solutions. The innovative geometry of both the milling body and the indexable inserts ensures that the maximum number of teeth can engage with the material, while the soft-cutting insert geometry results in positive cutting behaviour that consequently reduces machining times and offers higher metal removal rates. Heat management poses challenges when machining titanium alloys due to their low thermal conductivity; therefore, an optimised coolant supply to the cutting edge is essential. The Walter BLAXX M3255 is designed to create excellent chip clearance space that guarantees reliable chip removal, even at high cutting rates. The tangential positioning of the two or four cutting-edged indexable inserts allows for maximum cutting power and enables the machining of forged components, where the peripheral zone of the forged skin presents extreme challenges for the tool's edge. Ideal for rough machining applications, the Walter BLAXX M3255 helical milling cutter reduces titanium machining time by approximately 22% and extends tool life by around 100% through its innovative insert geometry and optimised chip clearance, which maximises material engagement and removal. Superalloys: Ceramic Cutting Technology Correlating with the well-filled order books is the requirement placed upon engine manufacturers and the supply chain for machining heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA). Here, too, shorter machining times are highly desirable. The cutting speed of carbide milling cutters on HRSA materials is typically around 50m/min. However, ceramic cutting tools push the boundaries with cutting speeds of up to 1000m/min, a 20 times improvement. The SiAlON ceramics offer excellent possibilities for this, as they are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations than whisker-reinforced ceramics, making them the first choice for milling operations in HRSA. The interrupted cutting during milling causes the temperature at one cutting edge to vary, and the use of coolant can further increase the temperature difference. In the worst-case scenario, the so-called ‘thermal shock effect' occurs, leading to cracks and even fractures. Dry machining is therefore recommended when machining superalloys with ceramic milling cutters. A positive side effect is that the ecological footprint of the milling operation is improved because lubricants are not required. Blisks are classic components made of nickel-based alloys. These bladed disks are often rough machined using carbide milling cutters. However, the machining time for this can easily exceed 30 minutes with conventional milling cutters. A ceramic milling cutter with a high feed geometry can machine the same features in just ten minutes. Feed rates of up to 9500mm/min can be achieved in a heat-resistant nickel-based alloy with a hardness of 44HRc and a tensile strength of 1400N/mm²; such machining values would be expected in aluminium, not HRSA. For HRSA machining, Walter introduces revolutionary ceramic milling solutions such as its MC075 high-feed geometry end mills. Available in a range of options including screw-in ConeFit interfaces, the MC075 ceramic end mills can deliver cutting speeds of up to 1000m/min utilising advanced SiAlON ceramic technology for superior temperature resistance. Future-Forward Strategies: Near-Net-Shape Unlike the automotive industry, where mass production dominates, the quantities required in the aerospace industry are comparably small, with the largest manufacturers like Airbus only producing around 750 aircraft a year. This makes ‘tool-free' production of components using 3D printing a feasible alternative, especially as the process enables the production of complex and stable components. Furthermore, it reduces the weight of conventionally manufactured components by up to 55%. This subsequently reduces the consumption of raw materials by up to 90%. From a machining perspective, there are also developments in this area that significantly optimise component production in terms of technology and costs. Fuselage sections, wings, tail units, engine components, and other complex assemblies are now being forged or 3D printed as close as possible to their ‘Near Net Shape'. It means significantly less material has to be removed. This not only saves material and machining time but also reduces waste - and thus enables more efficient manufacturing. Technological Integration The question of whether machine tools will still be needed in the future could well be asked in view of developments such as 3D printing or contour-based manufacturing. The answer is a resounding yes! Almost all 3D-printed workpieces require subsequent machining because their surface quality is usually insufficient for the components to be fitted directly. This is caused in no small part by the so-called ‘staircase effect' that occurs in the powder bed process typical of 3D printing. Heat treatment of steel components can also result in hardening distortion, which must be eliminated. Furthermore, support structures must be cleanly removed. All of these factors make cutting tools indispensable – now and in the future. The Economic Impact of Walter Solutions As an industry leader, Walter has proven the merits of its technical advances in the aerospace sector throughout the manufacturing supply chain. For the production of aluminium structural components, a major aerospace manufacturer implemented Walter's M2131 milling system for producing aluminium wing ribs. The result was a material removal rate (MMR) increase from 5.8 to 11 litres per minute with a 46% decrease in total machining time. Furthermore, the groundbreaking tool geometries of the M2131 system improved tool life by 35%, resulting in a 28% reduction in cost per component. Similar improvements have been witnessed when machining titanium Ti5553 landing gear components. By adopting the high-feed Walter BLAXX M3255 system, end users have benefitted from cycle time reductions beyond 22% when rough machining. Tool life improvements that are double the performance compared to the previous solution have subsequently yielded an overall 31% reduction in tooling cost per component. The machining of superalloy engine components is a particularly challenging niche where Walter once again excels. When machining blisk components from Inconel 718 (44HRc), the Walter MC075 ceramic milling system has delivered a machining time reduction from 30 minutes to 10 minutes per blade pocket, tripling throughput with existing machine tools and achieving machining cost savings of 65% despite a higher tool investment. As the aerospace industry commits to CO2-neutral operations by 2050, Walter's tooling solutions support this narrative of sustainability and efficiency, contributing significantly with innovations that reduce energy consumption, minimise coolant and lubricant usage, enable more efficient manufacturing processes and support lightweight component design. Conclusion Walter demonstrates that advanced tooling is not just about cutting metal—it's about enabling the future of aerospace technology. By combining innovative materials expertise, cutting-edge tool design, and a commitment to efficiency, Walter is helping aircraft manufacturers push the boundaries of what's possible. Walter continues to innovate in response to evolving aerospace requirements with digital integration tools such as its tool management systems that increasingly incorporate digital capabilities. This now reaches far beyond the cutting tool to incorporate comprehensive digital twins of tooling systems for unparalleled tool data management, AI-assisted cutting parameter recommendations, and predictive maintenance tools for monitoring and forecasting tool wear for optimal utilisation rates.

Secondo l’OCSE, l’Italia ha registrato il maggiore calo dei salari reali tra tutte le principali economie avanzate: a inizio 2025, erano ancora inferiori del 7,5% rispetto al 2021. Sebbene siano stati rinnovati importanti contratti collettivi, gli aumenti non hanno compensato l’inflazione. Un lavoratore su tre è ancora coperto da un contratto scaduto. La crescita salariale reale resterà contenuta: i salari nominali aumenteranno del 2,6% nel 2025 e del 2,2% nel 2026, appena sufficienti a coprire l’inflazione prevista. Il mercato del lavoro italiano, tuttavia, mostra segnali di solidità: a maggio 2025, il tasso di disoccupazione è sceso al 6,5%, con un aumento dell’occupazione totale dell’1,7% nell’ultimo anno, trainato soprattutto dalle fasce più anziane. Tuttavia, il tasso di occupazione (62,9%) resta sotto la media OCSE (70,4%). L’inattività è calata, ma rimane elevata rispetto ad altri Paesi. L’OCSE invita l’Italia a intervenire sull’età pensionabile e a rafforzare le politiche per mantenere i lavoratori anziani nel mondo del lavoro, promuovendo formazione continua, ambienti sicuri e pensionamenti flessibili. Interviene Andrea Bassanini, relatore principale del rapporto Ocse sull'occupazione. Dazi la trattativa procede tra spiragli e nuove gelateL’amministrazione Trump minaccia nuovi dazi fino al 200% su prodotti farmaceutici e del 50% su rame. Lettere sono state inviate a numerosi Paesi, con l’UE in attesa di riceverne una. Nonostante le minacce, Bruxelles resta fiduciosa. Il commissario Maros Sefcovic ha annunciato l’estensione dello status quo fino al primo agosto, per guadagnare tempo nei negoziati. L’intesa, ancora da chiudere, potrebbe fissare un dazio-base del 10% sui prodotti europei, con possibili esenzioni per Airbus, dispositivi medici e superalcolici. Restano critici i settori farmaceutico e dei semiconduttori, finora esclusi dai dazi, ma che potrebbero essere colpiti in un secondo momento. Il confronto riguarda anche dazi su acciaio (50%), alluminio e automobili (25%). Per quest’ultimo, l’UE propone un sistema di quote e compensazioni per chi sposta la produzione negli Stati Uniti. L’Italia è tra i Paesi UE più penalizzati: i dazi medi sono passati dal 2,1% all’8%, peggio della media UE ma meglio della Germania (11%). Le differenze nei dazi dipendono dalla composizione settoriale dell’export: alcuni prodotti italiani sono colpiti più duramente di altri. Il commento è di Fabrizio Vigo, CEO e Founder di SevenData spa.Dazi la trattativa procede tra spiragli e nuove gelateLa FAI denuncia una situazione insostenibile sull’Autostrada A1, in particolare nel tratto toscano tra Incisa Valdarno e Barberino del Mugello, dove si registrano quotidiane code chilometriche che ostacolano il trasporto nazionale e internazionale. Le promesse fatte nel 2016 sull’ultimazione dei lavori non sono state mantenute: dopo quasi dieci anni, l’arteria resta incompleta. A peggiorare il quadro si aggiungono chiusure notturne frequenti e i lavori sul Viadotto dell’Indiano, che bloccano anche l’unico percorso alternativo. FAI chiede la riduzione dei cantieri nei tratti critici, l’apertura di un tavolo di confronto tra MIT, Autostrade e Regione Toscana, e maggiore tolleranza nei controlli sui tempi di guida, qualora siano documentabili ritardi dovuti al traffico. Intanto, la situazione ferroviaria non è migliore. Nell’estate 2025, sono previsti oltre 1.200 cantieri sulla rete nazionale, finanziati con fondi PNRR. La linea Milano-Genova subirà una parziale riduzione della capacità e una chiusura totale tra Pavia e Voghera dal 21 luglio al 29 agosto. Anche l’alta velocità risentirà pesantemente dei lavori, con allungamenti dei tempi di viaggio: sulla Roma-Milano fino a 4 ore e 50 minuti tra l’11 e il 17 agosto; sulla Milano-Bologna, tra l’11 e il 22 agosto, si prevedono ritardi fino a 2 ore; sulla Milano-Genova tra 20 e 60 minuti di attesa; sulla Milano-Venezia, tra il 5 e il 25 agosto, si arriverà a 90 minuti in più. La FAI si muove anche sul fronte della carenza di autisti. La segretaria Carlotta Caponi si è recata in Marocco per un’iniziativa volta a reclutare nuovi conducenti. L’autotrasporto italiano, secondo il Bollettino Excelsior di Unioncamere e Ministero del Lavoro, cerca quasi 100.000 addetti entro fine agosto, di cui 14.360 solo di autisti per veicoli industriali. Tuttavia, il 55,5% di questi profili è difficile da reperire, soprattutto per mancanza di candidati o preparazione inadeguata. Ne parliamo con Paolo Uggè, presidente Conftrasporto e Fai (Federazione autotrasportatori Italiani).

"NATO Spending just woke up" on defense, says Peter Andersen, pointing to a shift in global uncertainty and the U.S. urging Europe to bolster its own defense as catalysts. He sees the trend continuing long-term. As for stock picks, Peter sees upside potential in Rolls-Royce (RYCEY) and Airbus.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Guest Scott Hamilton is fresh from the Paris Air Show, and we talk about next-generation aircraft and engines, industry sustainability, the supply chain, and Boeing's path back. Also, an NTSB safety recommendation for the CFM Leap-1B engine, and the possibility of restarting production of the C-17. Guest Scott Hamilton Scott Hamilton is the Founder and Managing Director of Leeham Company and has spent more than four decades in the commercial aviation industry. Leeham News and Analysis has been a go-to source for spotting trends and providing verified, credible, relevant aviation news that's impartial and unbiased. Leeham Consulting Services provides expertise in several areas, including aircraft economic analysis, lease and return condition analysis and negotiations, aircraft product and strategy analysis, fleet planning and contract negotiations, market demand analysis, and MRO strategy. In our conversation with Scott, we looked at some of the technologies that may appear in next-generation aircraft. That includes ducted and unducted engines, as well as developments with geared fans. In public, the OEMs tout their own technology choices, but in reality, they are quietly working on multiple options. We touch on Boeing's ability to make the financial investment required to proceed with a single-aisle replacement, and on the company's path to recovery. Scott provides some observations on this year's Paris Air Show, including the low-key participation by Boeing. Scott offers his thoughts on electric aircraft, alternative fuels, and the airline industry goal for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Scott's book, Air Wars: The Global Combat Between Airbus and Boeing, was published in 2021. This coming September, a sequel titled The Rise and Fall of Boeing and the Way Back will be published and available on Amazon. Follow Leham News and Analysis on X, Bluesky, and Facebook. Aviation News Boeing Calls For Next-Gen Engine Info For Future Single Aisle Boeing issued a request for information (RFI) to engine manufacturers for advanced ducted propulsion systems in the 30,000-lb-thrust class. That thrust class is suitable for powering a future single-aisle replacement for the 737. Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney are likely to respond to the RFI with geared, ducted turbofans, which they are proposing to Airbus for its next-generation single aisle (NGSA). CFMI will likely respond with a ducted engine based on technology from its Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engine (RISE) unducted open fan program. Engine makers tout “Plan A” but have “Plan B” backups in R&D Each engine OEM has a vision for future engines (open fan, ducted fan, geared fan), but is each company also developing an alternative at the same time? PW's sister company, Pratt & Whitney Canada, has publicly disclosed its development of an Open Fan engine for a new 70-100-seat aircraft designed by the start-up company MAEVE Aerospace. See: Maeve Redesigns Its Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft MAEVE Aerospace concept. NTSB issues rare safety bulletin about potential issues with Boeing 737 Max engines Two bird strike incidents in 2023 with CFMI LEAP-1B engines caused smoke to enter the ventilation system. The NTSB has issued an urgent safety bulletin, asking operators to inform flight crews of the potential hazard and calling for modifications to engine software. The NTSB notes that Boeing has revised flight manuals. GE Aerospace says it had already made changes. See: NTSB Recommends Modifications to LEAP-1B Engines The NTSB found that the engine load reduction device, or LRD, a safety feature designed to reduce the severity of vibrations transmitted from a damaged engine to the airframe, can result in damage to the engine oil system. Such a condition can allow smoke from hot oil to enter the ventilation system and ultimately the cockpit or passenger cabin. Boeing in Talks to Restart C-17 Production
Notas del Show: • Wall Street se recupera tras la corrección del martes: Futuros al alza: $SPX +0.3%, $US100 +0.3%, $INDU +0.4%. La reforma fiscal avanza en el Senado (51-50), pero el JOLTS mostró un mercado laboral más ajustado. Hoy se esperan datos de empleo ADP y recortes de Challenger, claves para la Fed. • Grandes bancos suben dividendos tras pasar stress test: $C +7.1% ($0.60), $WFC +12.5% ($0.45) y $GS +33% ($4.00). La Fed afirmó que los bancos mantienen capital sólido incluso ante escenarios adversos. • Intel reconsidera su roadmap de chips: $INTC podría dejar de ofrecer su nodo 18A a nuevos clientes y enfocarse en 14A para atraer a $AAPL y $NVDA. El cambio podría implicar depreciaciones multimillonarias. Mantendrá 18A para uso interno y clientes existentes como $AMZN y $MSFT. • Boeing y Airbus buscan controlar operaciones de Spirit AeroSystems: $BA y $EADSY tomarían el control de la planta de Belfast si no aparece comprador. Airbus se quedaría con la producción del A220, y Bombardier evalúa participación. Autoridad de Competencia del Reino Unido definirá el caso antes del 28 de agosto. • Flujo vendedor chino impacta a techs de Hong Kong: Inversores chinos vendieron 46.4B HK$ en $TCEHY, $XIACF y $BABA en junio, presionando sus repuntes recientes. UBP atribuye el movimiento a toma de ganancias y falta de nuevos catalizadores. Un día con foco en decisiones estratégicas, recompras bancarias y señales mixtas desde Asia. ¡No te lo pierdas!

A version of this essay was published by Deccan Herald at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/let-s-make-our-own-planes-3607351June 23rd was a very sad anniversary: it was exactly 40 years ago that Air India Kanishka, Flight AI 182 (Montreal-London-Delhi), a Boeing 747, was blown up in the sky off Ireland, killing all 329 on board. There has never been closure, because the Canadian government stonewalled the investigation into how alleged Khalistani terrorists on their soil perpetrated one of the worst airline disasters in history.The black box and cockpit voice recorder were recovered, and confirmed a loud explosion and sudden loss of communications and an explosive decompression, consistent with a bomb in baggage. Separately, two baggage handlers at Narita were killed when another bomb linked to the same terror group exploded on the ground on flight AI 301 on the Toronto-Tokyo-Bangkok-Delhi route.On June 12th, 2025, the as-yet unsolved crash-landing of AI 171 (Ahmedabad-London) killed all but one of 242 on board, and at least 35 people on the ground, as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner failed just after take-off. The black box has been recovered, and India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau was able to decode it. The detailed results will take another couple of weeks. Fortunately, the black box didn't have to be sent to the US because they would have an incentive to exonerate Boeing.Indeed there is already a media narrative of a) incompetence of the Indian pilots, b) poor maintenance by Air India. While there have been previous complaints about broken seats and entertainment systems, there was a clear objective to limit reputational damage to already beleaguered Boeing. Whistleblower reports have long suggested shoddy manufacturing practices especially on jets earmarked for delivery overseas.Boeing appears to be an engineering-driven company that was ruined as the focus shifted to bean-counting and finance, ever since they took over McDonnell Douglas in 1997, but paradoxically allowed the latter's cost-cutting managers to dominate. Instead of innovating, they now tend to recycle old designs. A 2022 Netflix documentary, “Downfall: The Case Against Boeing”, is scathing in its accusations.India is building the infrastructure for significant growth in air travel, to the extent that the hostile Financial Times mocked it with a story titled “Air India crash tests Narendra Modi's ambition to get his country flying”, blaming Air India and the airline regulator (but not Boeing). All this has implications for India, considering that Air India ordered 220 Boeing aircraft and another 350 from Airbus, while Indigo ordered 500 Airbus planes. That's many billions of dollars. The obvious question is: why isn't India making these commercial aircraft? Surely aerospace is a growth sector for India? Yes, there will be offset-based sub-assembly manufacturing, and maintenance operations, but why not India's own passenger aircraft?Brazil's Embraer, Russia's UAC and China's COMAC are eyeing the cosy Airbus-Boeing duopoly. Strategic autonomy suggests India should also strive for its own design.There are military reasons too. Warfare is changing, and drones and missiles are becoming more important, though fighter aircraft remain critical. India is developing the Tejas and the newly-approved AMCA, but there is the salutary tale of the indigenous HF-24 Marut, phased out because of underpowered engines, inadequate infrastructure, and poor coordination between HAL, the IAF, and the government; also no private sector involvement and the lure of imports.India has to build its own fighter jets, and especially jet engines like Kaveri: India is last in line for foreign engine-makers, and anyway, they keep the kill switches. India may be able to sell fighter jets to many countries, along with the battle-tested BrahMos, Lakshya and Akashteer, so spending on them is an investment with likely returns.There is still the siren-song of the US F-35, the Russian Su-57, and so on. There is, ironically, a British-owned F-35B sitting, forlorn, in the rain, on the tarmac at Trivandrum airport since June 15th. It has a) fuel issues, b) hydraulic problems with STOL, c) other problems. This $100+-million jet may end up having to be hauled back in a big transport plane, unable to take off on its own. Local trolls advertised it on OLX for a mere $4 million for scrap.British specialists were flown in, but couldn't fix it. They await Americans now. Obviously, even the closest allies do not get full technology transfer.Let us also remember that the first F-35 built under license by Mitsubishi in Japan ended up in the Pacific Ocean. The pilot, who died, was blamed for ‘spatial disorientation', not Lockheed Martin. The black box was damaged, so the story ends there.Suffice to say that in both civil and military aircraft it is time for India to get its act together.775 words, 29 June 2025The AI-generated podcast based on this essay is here.

Het lijkt dan toch te gaan gebeuren: Shell wil BP overnemen. Het zou gaan om een deal van 80 miljard dollar, meldt The Wall Street Journal. Al jaren wordt er gespeculeerd over het samensmelten van deze twee grote oliegiganten, maar de hoop op een snelle overname werd vorig week nog de kop ingedrukt door uitgerekend de ceo zelf. En ook vandaag wist het bedrijf niet hoe snel ze het nieuws moesten ontkennen. Hoe zit het nou? En wie heeft er gelijk? We proberen er de vinger op te leggen deze aflevering. We kijken ook naar Worldline, een Franse concurrent van Adyen. Ze zijn er vooral voor klanten die door elke andere betaalverwerker al zijn uitgekotst, blijkt uit onderzoek van 21 kranten, waaronder NRC. Het bedrijf verdiende bewust geld aan frauderende klanten: gok- en porno-sites die nergens terecht konden, werden bij Worldine met open armen ontvangen. De koers van het betaalbedrijf was al om te huilen, maar wat er nog van over was, stortte vandaag ook in elkaar. En de ceo van Prosus doet een ambitieuze belofte: hij wil de omzet tegen 2028 verdubbelen. Deze Fabricio Bloisi bezit sowieso een flinke voorraad verdubbelaars. Vlak na z'n aantrede beloofde hij de beurswaarde van Prosus te verdubbelen en deze week rapporteerde het bedrijf een verdubbelde winst. Of hij die omzetbelofte ook waar kan maken, gaan we bespreken.

C dans l'air l'invité du 21 juin 2025 avec Emmanuel Duteil, directeur de la rédaction « L'Usine Nouvelle ».Alors que le Salon du Bourget 2025, grand raout international consacré à l'aéronautique et à l'espace, s'apprête à fermer ses portes demain, il dressera un état des lieux de l'industrie française dans ces domaines. Fort de plus de 250 commandes, Airbus peut être satisfait de son bilan de la semaine. Il illustre l'excellence française et participe à placer le secteur aérospatial comme étant de loin le premier excédent commercial de la France.Ce secteur ne rayonne pas qu'à l'international, il attire également les jeunes ingénieurs français puisque les entreprises qu'ils convoitent ne sont autres que Thales, Airbus, Safran ou encore Dassault Aviation. Une aubaine à l'heure où l'aéronautique recrute, avec 25 000 postes à pourvoir cette année. La cadence est intense face au défi du réarmement. Les dépenses militaires mondiales se sont élevées à hauteur de 2343 milliards d'euros en 2024, en augmentation de 9,4% par rapport à 2023. La France se démarque comme étant le deuxième exportateur d'armes au monde (9,6%), loin derrière les Etats-Unis mais devant la Russie. Une place qu'elle doit notamment à son modèle phare : le Rafale, entièrement fabriqué en France.Emmanuel Duteil est directeur de la rédaction « L'Usine Nouvelle ». Il analysera l'excellence de l'industrie aéronautique française à la veille de la fermeture du Salon du Bourget 2025.Ce mois-ci le Une du magazine est consacrée au Salon du Bourget : « Les nouveaux conquérants du ciel »

Story of the Week (DR):Warner Bros. Discovery Reworks CEO Pay, Reducing David Zaslav's Massive Compensation DRDavid Zaslav will take a pay cut after Warner Bros. Discovery splits up—with a big hit to his bonusDavid Zaslav Is Getting a Pay CutWarner Bros to significantly slash CEO David Zaslav's pay packageWarner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav Pay to Drop After Company SplitDavid Zaslav's Pay To Be “Substantially” Lowered Ahead Of Split, WBD Says, But CEO Will Still Reap RewardsIf Zaslav hits 100% of his operational and financial goals in the first year after the split, his target pay will be $16.5mn, compared with $37mn in the current contract. If he hits 200% of the targets, it will be as high as $30mn, the company said on Monday.However, the bulk of Zaslav's future pay will be based on stock options after shareholders rebuked a model based on free cash flow generation.The securities filing made late on Monday said the beleaguered media boss would receive about 24mn in WBD shares that could be purchased for the current $10.16 price.If the share price were to double, the package could eventually be worth nearly $250mn.Two weeks after 60% of Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders rejected CEO David Zaslav's $52M pay plan, the Compensation Committee restructured his plan using Hollywood's latest CGI, special effects, and most seasoned stunt doubles: his new plan reduces his annual pay targets significantly–from $37M to $17M if he hits 100% of his targets–but the devil is in the details as he is eligible for $37M if he reaches 200% of his targets and is getting a massive option grant of 21 million shares at an extremely low strike price of around $10 per share, giving him the theoretical opportunity to make $1.4B if Warner Brothers' share price regains its 2021 high of $77.Boeing's longest-tenured director Lynn Good joins the Board of Morgan Stanley just two days after the crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in India killed more than 200 people.Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says his company is a 'convenient scapegoat' as European cities protest overtourism“In Barcelona, housing prices rose 60% over the past decade, but Airbnb listings actually decreased.

The past decade has tragically tested the resilience and brilliance of transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive (trans) people living in the U.S. Misinformation about who we are and what we want has sparked thousands of anti-transgender bills introduced in nearly every state capital across the country, adversely impacting almost every segment of the trans community. Despite this harsh reality, the future is a rainbow, and it's wise for business leaders to recognize this truth. It's also essential for these leaders to recognize the responsibility they have to prepare their organizations today in anticipation of this future talent upgrade. Afterall, the latest research shows that 20% of Generation Z identifies as LGBTQ+, and of that number 1 in 4 are nonbinary, with another 20% questioning their gender identity. Many business leaders today struggle with how to build gender-inclusive workplaces and ways to prioritize this essential aspect of advancing their diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments in the face of unprecedented backlash. Strong objections from a well-organized and vocal minority, which are out of alignment with public opinion, have led some organizations to backtrack on their gender inclusion commitments. To enhance the skills and confidence leaders will need to weather this current storm, this episode of the Business of Belonging mini-series features Third Segment CEO, Amanda Simpson, and JPMorgan Chase Executive Director, Chris Mossiah. Amanda serves as an advisor on aerospace, energy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a nationally renowned speaker, she has presented before a wide variety of corporate, government, and nonprofit audiences. She has served in executive leadership positions at Airbus, Raytheon, and Douglas Aircraft, and the Obama Administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Operational Energy. Chris is an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase's consumer & community banking line of business. They are also the co-chair of the Firmwide Gender Expansive Council and co-lead for the Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Nonbinary Subcommittee of the PRIDE Tri-State BRG. Both Chris & Amanda serve on Out & Equal's Transgender & Nonbinary Executive Leadership Circle. Together, we explore: Common Barriers. What are some of the common barriers transgender and nonbinary people experience at work? Future of Work. Why is the future of work gender-diverse, and what can business leaders do today to prepare? Gender-Inclusion Practices. What actions can leaders take today to build more spaces of belonging for gender diversity to flourish? This interview was designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Amanda & Chris, be sure to join our Belonging Membership Community - a community of practice committed to putting our values of belonging, community, and collaboration into action.

We speak with the Chief Pilot for a large European carrier about taking delivery of his airline's first A321XLR, and with a fractional ownership pilot about changing from the Phenom to the Challenger Global 300. In the news, we look at lifting the supersonic flight ban, revamping the Army flight school, denying an unleaded avgas motion, reforming flight delay compensation, and considering the Fire Boss air tractor for fighting wildfires Guests Captain Al Evan is the Chief Pilot for a large European low-cost carrier. He was the Airbus and Pratt & Whitney liaison for the delivery of his airline's first P&W-powered A321XLR. Captain Al and Micah Stephen Ivey is a pilot for a large fractional ownership company. He recently changed from the Phenom to the Challenger Global 300. Stephen Ivey Aviation News U.S. Lifts 50-Year Ban on Supersonic Overland Flights Supersonic flight by civilian aircraft over the U.S. was originally banned in 1973 due to concerns about sonic boom noise pollution and potential damage on the ground. However, on June 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the FAA to repeal the ban and replace it with an interim noise-based certification standard. The Order instructs the FAA Administrator to establish a standard for supersonic aircraft noise certification that considers community acceptability, economic reasonableness, and technological feasibility. Army revamps flight school after deadly crashes The U.S. Army is overhauling pilot training to focus on fundamental skills. The change in 2013 from TH-67 training aircraft to the LUH-72A Lakota helicopters contributed to the need for training adjustments. The Army determined that the quick advancement of inexperienced crews was leading to unsafe situations. The Army is considering outsourcing pilot training to a contractor-owned-and-operated schoolhouse. Judge Denies G100UL Motion A California judge ruled that GAMI's G100UL is not "commercially available" and therefore cannot be mandated for sale in California to replace leaded aviation fuel. This comes after a motion by the Center for Environmental Health to enforce a 2014 consent agreement that says FBOs and distributors must sell a lower lead alternative that is “commercially available.” The judge ruled that the fuel must first be universally available to all piston-powered aircraft. There must be a “general consensus” from the industry and potential customers that the fuel is safe and appropriate for their use. Europe Flight Delay Compensation Reform Coming, And It's Bad News The European Union's flight delay compensation policy EC261 (sometimes called EU261), has been unchanged since 2014. Some EU transport ministers have been discussing reforms where passengers would have to experience longer delays before being eligible for compensation. Currently, compensation ranges from €250 to €600: €250 compensation if you're delayed by at least two hours for flights under 1,500km (930 miles). €400 compensation if you're delayed by at least three hours for flights of 1,500-3,500km (930-2,200 miles). €600 compensation if you're delayed by at least four hours for flights over 3,500km (2,200 miles). A new proposal would: Provide €300 compensation if you're delayed at least four hours for flights under 3,500 km. Provide €500 compensation if you're delayed at least six hours for flights over 3,500 km. See DOT's Airline Customer Service Dashboard. What is a Fire Boss? The agriculture aircraft that doubles as a water bomber Dave Frisch, the president of Portage Aircraft Specialties Ltd., sells Air Tractors designed for agricultural spraying. He says that if you add specially designed floats, these aircraft become a type of water bomber known as the Fire Boss. Being a small aircraft, the Fire Boss can scoop water out of smaller bodies of water and get into tighter spaces.
