Airliner family
POPULARITY
In this week's show: Alaska Airlines secures slots for Heathrow launch; someone experiments whether ChatGPT can land an Airbus A320 after telling it both pilots are missing; and KLM retires its first Boeing 737 aircraft after 25 years of operations. In the military: There are massive new campsite plans for RIAT 2026 near RAF Fairford and a Damaged B-2 stealth bomber returns to frontline duty after a four-year repair from landing gear collapse. We'll have the usual Retro Airline Ad of the Week as well as a reminder of the excellent competition that Allan Whyte has set for you all. Nev will also give us an update on the plans for the 600th show in May of next year. Spaces are running out quickly, so be sure to let us know if you would like to attend. More news on how to do that later in the show.
Airbus A320 fuselage panel problems, Thunderbird F-16C crash, ATC prime integrator, hand flying, Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, Southwest Airlines meltdown fine, solar flares and A320 groundings, airline pay-for-delay compensation, and charging air travelers without REAL ID. Aviation News Airbus prepares A320 inspections as fuselage flaw hits deliveries Airbus engineers are inspecting 628 A320 family exterior fuselage panels for thickness defects. The skin panels have thickness deviations beyond Airbus's design tolerances. The panels were manufactured by a Spanish supplier Sofitec Aero and do not represent a flight‑safety risk at this time. Panels on the upper forward fuselage are the main concern, with deviations having also been found in some rear‑fuselage sections. The affected panels are not serialized, so Airbus must inspect the entire batch of potentially impacted airframes rather than trace specific parts. A320 Family final assembly line in Toulouse. Courtesy Airbus. Sofitec Aero is an aerostructures company that designs, manufactures, and assembles metallic and composite aircraft structures for major OEMs, including Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, and several Tier‑1 suppliers such as Spirit AeroSystems and Stelia. It is a privately held firm, founded in 1999. Thunderbirds F-16C Fighting Falcon Crashes in California The 57th Wing Public Affairs Office issued a statement saying, “On December 3, 2025, at approximately 10:45 a.m., a Thunderbird pilot safely ejected from a F-16C Fighting Falcon aircraft during a training mission over controlled airspace in California. The pilot is in stable condition and receiving follow-on care.” The F‑16C went down during a routine training mission in controlled airspace over the Mojave Desert. The crash site is located in a remote desert area near the town of Trona, approximately two miles south of Trona Airport and about 27 miles from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Hydrazine: A Significant Hazard Each Time An F-16 Crashes (Or Fires Up The Emergency Power Unit) F‑16s use hydrazine in their emergency power units, so environmental and hazmat teams from Edwards Air Force Base were deployed to the site to evaluate and mitigate any hazardous materials concerns. The F-16's Emergency Power Unit (EPU) is a backup power system that utilizes H-70 (approximately 70% hydrazine and 30% water) to drive a small turbine, supplying emergency hydraulic and electrical power in the event of main engine or generator failure. Hydrazine is used because it is a monopropellant that can rapidly generate mechanical power without external oxygen, but it is also highly toxic, corrosive, and flammable, so its use is tightly controlled and largely limited to legacy or niche applications. US government selects contractor Peraton to lead air traffic control modernisation In Episode 865, we reported that two bids had been received to become the prime integrator for the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system, called the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS). They were Peraton and Parsons Corporation. Congress had approved $12.5 billion for the project, and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) selected Peraton as the prime integrator. The national security company is owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Flight Global says Peraton is a “provider of technologies for large, complex organisations, offering services including cyber security, systems engineering and modernisation, cloud computing and data management.” According to Veritas, the company specializes in buying and growing companies that sell technology and services to U.S. government agencies in defense, intelligence, civil, and health markets. Examples include acquisitions or control of federal IT and mission‑support businesses such as Northrop Grumman's federal IT arm (combined into Peraton) and health IT and analytics providers serving Medicaid and Defense Health Agency programs.

Union Urges ‘Back-to-Basics' Approach to Pilot Skills Captain Wendy Morse is a Boeing 787 captain and serves as first vice president and national safety coordinator at the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). In a recent interview at the Skift Aviation Forum in Fort Worth, she said the union is advocating for pilots to “go back to our roots” and maintain strong manual-flying proficiency throughout their careers. Morse said, “So the biggest thing is [getting] back to basics…We have to maintain a basic level of flying, a basic level of flying skills, and we have to continue to maintain those basics. This business about positive rate, gear up, [and] put on the autopilot is not a good idea. We have to keep flying the airplane so that we're good at it.” Boeing closes Spirit AeroSystems purchase in major supply chain realignment Boeing has completed its takeover of Spirit AeroSystems. Under the $4.7 billion deal, Boeing re-acquires most of Spirit AeroSystems. Airbus picks up parts of Spirit in its supply chain. Operations in Subang, Malaysia, went to Composites Technology Research Malaysia, and the subsidiary Fiber Materials was sold earlier this year to Tex-Tech Industries. Portions of the Belfast, Northern Ireland, operations will continue as an independent subsidiary branded as Short Brothers. Trump administration lets Southwest Airlines off the hook with a multimillion dollar waiver for 2022 holiday travel meltdown In 2023, the Biden administration fined Southwest Airlines $140 million for the 2022 holiday travel meltdown. The US Department of Transportation has now waived the final $11 million installment of that fine. The DOT says Southwest has made worthwhile investments in its operations control center and “the Department is of the view that it is more beneficial for the flying public to give Southwest credit for significantly improving its on-time performance and completion factor.” The 10-day schedule meltdown resulted in 17,000 canceled flights, roughly half of Southwest's holiday season flight schedule. Southwest paid out $600 million in refunds and reimbursements to passengers who were affected. Add in additional labor costs and lost revenue, and the airline reported a $914 million after-tax loss. Aviation News Follow-Up A320 Groundings – There Was No Solar Flare In Visual Approach, Airplane Geeks co-founder Courtney Miller argues that the data does not support the case that the October 30, 2025, uncommanded altitude decrease of a JetBlue A320 was caused by solar radiation. Looking at proton flux data, Courtney says, “We are talking about high-energy protons traveling from the sun to Earth, penetrating the Earth's protective magnetic field, and also penetrating the aircraft's hardware shielding to deliver what's called a Single-Event Upset (SEU). Another term you may have heard for it is a “bit flip”. The proton flux usually arrives associated with a solar flare, but not always. NOAA tracks and reports these events. In the days leading up to the “intense solar radiation” that Airbus referenced as the potential issue in the JetBlue upset, there was no intense solar radiation.

Our bespoke consulting team is built with a focus on deep industry expertise, contrarian thought leadership, trusted independence, and opinionated results. We compete with the largest consulting firms by focusing on quality results and contrarian ideas. Pay-On-Delay Would Send Airfares Soaring, Says Transport Minister The Australian Federal Transport Minister, Catherine King, told ABC Radio in Sydney that an EU-style “pay-on-delay” compensation scheme would drive up airfares in Australia. The federal government has proposed airline customer protections, and the Minister's comments come after a consultation period ended. EU 261 requires that airlines pay passengers compensation for delays and cancellations within their control. King feels the Australian market is too small to sustain such a measure. “It is costly to administer compensation schemes. Those costs are generally passed on to passengers,” she said. Fliers without a compliant ID will have to pay TSA $45 next year The TSA says that starting in February 1, 2026, air travelers in the U.S. without a REAL ID will be charged a $45 fee. The initially planned $18 fee was raised after officials realized this identification program would cost more than anticipated. The fee applies to travelers 18 and older who are flying domestically without a REAL ID or other accepted form of ID. The non-refundable fee will be required to verify identity through the TSA Confirm.ID system. Confirm.ID replaces TSA's older manual “forgot my ID” procedures. It's a more automated, technology‑assisted process that uses a traveler's biographic and possibly biometric information to verify identity and screen against watchlists. Confirm.ID is meant as a last‑resort option for people who arrive at the checkpoint without a compliant ID, not as a routine substitute for REAL ID or a passport. The fee can be paid online before arriving at the airport. Travelers can also pay online at the airport before entering the security line, but officials said the process may take up to 30 minutes.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 47-points this morning from Friday's close, at 27,674 on turnover of 7.5-billion N-T. The market closed slightly higher Friday, as positive investor sentiment carried over from the previous session amid hopes that the U-S Federal Reserve will cut key interest rates later this month. Taiwan's ambassador meets with new SVG leader Taiwan's ambassador to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has met with the newly elected prime minister of the Caribbean ally, Godwin Friday, to convey (傳達) congratulations from President Lai Ching-te. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Ambassador Fiona Fan delivered Lai's message during their meeting, and that the prime minister asked her to relay (傳達) his thanks in return. The ministry has not said when the meeting took place or provided any further details. However, the meeting took place as Friday's New Democratic Party has previously proposed switching recognition from Taiwan to Beijing. CAA confirms that local airlines have completed Airbus A320 software fix And, The Civil Aviation Administration has confirmed that local airlines completed the required software restoration on Airbus A320-series aircraft before a 7AM deadline on Sunday. The software restoration followed an emergency directive (指示) issued after a technical failure in the U-S. Airbus announced on Friday that around 6,000 A320-family jets worldwide must undergo software updates and may not be operated without the fix. The announcement come after reports of a flight-control system malfunction linked to solar flare interference. Honduras Presidential Vote Hondurans are voting to elect new president in a close race under shadow of Trump's surprise intervention (干涉). AP correspondent Rica Ann Garcia reports Report: Global Arms Producers Saw Revenue Increase A new report says that the world's biggest weapons-producing companies saw a 5.9% increase in revenue from sales of arms and military services last year as demand was fed by (由…供給/提供) the wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as countries' rising military spending. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute says today that the revenues of the 100 largest arms makers grew to $679 billion in 2024, the highest figure it has recorded. The bulk of the increase was down to companies based in Europe and the United States, but there were increases around the world — except in Asia and Oceania, where problems in the Chinese arms industry led to a slight fall. Italy Digital Copies of Masterpieces for Museum Funds Italian cultural officials are offering digital copies of Italian masterpieces as part of a new project to help museums raise money. The nonprofit Save the Artistic Heritage, with its technical partner Cinello, is behind this initiative. They provide digital projections of Italian masterpieces, complete with certificates of authenticity (真正的,真實性). Participating museums receive 50% of the profits. Over two years, Save the Artistic Heritage has contributed about $347-thousand US dollars to Italian museums. Each digital artwork is sold in a limited series of nine. The project aims to help museums access new income streams and expand globally, including plans for the United States. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

//The Wire//2300Z November 28, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SAFETY NOTICE IMPACTS MOST AIRBUS AIRCRAFT. POLICY CHANGES ANNOUNCED FOLLOWING SHOOTING IN WASHINGTON.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: This morning an Emergency Airworthiness Directive was issued for all variants of the Airbus A320 platform, due to an issue which results in solar radiation potentially affecting the Electronic Aileron Computer (ELAC). Approximately 6,000 airframes are affected by this issue.Analyst Comment: The fix for this issue is reportedly a software update, however it's quite a serious problem. Per the notice provided by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, this issue causes the aircraft to randomly nosedive during a flight. This was identified by an A320 experiencing this phenomenon during a routine flight, which prompted an investigation and thus the discovery of the problem. No affected aircraft are allowed to carry passengers unless the issue is fixed, so delays will certainly come about as the thousands of affected aircraft are ferried to maintenance sites during the busiest travel season of the year.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Yesterday afternoon the White House confirmed that SPC Sarah Beckstrom (WV NG), one of the Guardsmen attacked at Farragut Station, died yesterday afternoon from wounds sustained during the engagement. SSgt. Andrew Wolfe (WV ANG) remains in critical condition following several surgeries over the past two days.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The aftermath of the ambush in Washington has resulted in a few policy developments on multiple fronts. In various social media posts and press conferences, the White House has stated that all immigration will be "permanently paused" from all third-world countries. A mass overhaul of the legal immigration system is also planned, as migrants with legal resident alien status from a list of 19x high-risk countries will be investigated for ties to terror groups.More broadly, further efforts to prevent future attacks are largely taking the form of cracking down on immigrant communities which are known to conduct terrorist attacks (as well as crime in general). The Somali situation in Minneapolis is a major focus, as operations were planned for the city even before the shooting in DC. On the economic front, President Trump also stated that all benefits programs in the United States will be halted for non-citizens.Whether or not any/all of this will happen is anyone's guess, but these are the claims that are being made at the moment. Minneapolis is an easy first step (by comparison, at least). Speculating a bit, the White House (and the Pentagon as well) are probably trying to prevent a future event from occurring, which might spiral into other problems. Time is of the essence, and getting involved in a counterinsurgency mission in the American homeland is something that nobody wants. It's gritty, dirty, and most Americans are not willing to see what living in that kind of world is like, so if a more traditional counter-insurgency effort were to get underway in the homeland at some point, it won't be something to jump into lightly or without much preparation.Lone-wolf attacks are usually exceptionally deadly because they're almost impossible to predict or plan for. However, doctrinally-speaking, these types of attacks are not necessarily indicative of a full-blown insurgency (which usually has a more hierarchical planning effort). However, reflecting on what's happened so far this year, each passing travesty has drawn together the fields of counterterrorism, and counter-immigration. At this point, the American people are finding out that there is much more overlap between these two missionsets than previously realized.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in th
En esta entrevista, el capitán Juan Esteban Villa, presidente de la Asociación Colombiana de Aviadores Civiles, explica la reciente directiva de aeronavegabilidad emitida por EASA tras un incidente con un Airbus A320 de JetBlue. Se requiere que 6,400 aeronaves de este modelo realicen una actualización de software para corregir vulnerabilidades relacionadas con la radiación solar que afecta los sistemas de control de vuelo. Villa destaca la importancia de la seguridad aérea y la responsabilidad de las aerolíneas en cumplir con estas directrices. Además, se discuten los tiempos de modificación y el impacto en los vuelos, enfatizando que es preferible estar en tierra que volar con problemas. Esta conversación es crucial para entender cómo la tecnología y la seguridad se entrelazan en la aviación moderna.

羽田空港の全日空欠航専用カウンターに並ぶ人ら、29日午後、東京都大田区全日空は29日、同社が所有する欧州航空機大手エアバスの「A320」「A321」型機で機体システムの整備作業が必要になったとして、国内線計95便を欠航にし、約1万3200人に影響が出た。 All Nippon Airways said Saturday that it will cancel 95 domestic flights due to necessary software maintenance for its Airbus A320 and A321 jets.
Major disruptions yesterday as airlines around the world had to ground their Airbus A320 aircraft. Many travellers were left stranded after Airbus ordered immediate software fixes for 6000 of its A320s. Aviation Commentator Irene King says that New Zealand is lucky to be a smaller country, as it means the delays won't last as long. 'The nice thing about being a small country is that we can recover pretty quickly from these sorts of disruptions.' LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

« Faire de l'argent, pas la guerre : tel est le véritable plan de Trump pour la paix en Ukraine », annonce le Wall Street Journal, selon lequel « le Kremlin a présenté à la Maison Blanche une stratégie de paix par le commerce », « stratégie à laquelle le président Trump et son envoyé spécial Steve Witkoff ont adhéré, pour la plus grande consternation de l'Europe », poursuit le quotidien américain. Le Wall Street Journal raconte ainsi que lors d'une rencontre à Miami Beach, le mois dernier, « Steve Witkoff, promoteur immobilier milliardaire devenu envoyé spécial de Donald Trump, Kirill Dmitriev directeur du fonds souverain russe et négociateur choisi par Vladimir Poutine, ainsi que Jared Kushner, le gendre du président, se sont retrouvés pour élaborer en secret une stratégie pour sortir la Russie de l'isolement économique, avec des entreprises américaines prioritaires, pour devancer leurs concurrentes européennes et ainsi bénéficier des dividendes ». Visiblement, les Américains et les Russes ont de l'appétit. Il est notamment question « d'une reconstruction de l'Ukraine par les États-Unis » ou encore « d'une association entre les entreprises américaines et russes pour exploiter les vastes richesses minières de l'Arctique. » Conclusion du Wall Street journal : « Le tableau qui se dessine est celui de chefs d'entreprise, œuvrant hors des circuits diplomatiques traditionnels pour consolider un accord de paix par le biais d'opérations commerciales ». Des nouveau-nés dans le froid et la pluie Le journal La Croix publie un article sur l'hiver à Gaza. « À Gaza, les habitants sont dans l'eau, le froid et l'abandon », titre le quotidien français. « À l'aube d'un troisième hiver marqué par les déplacements, les destructions et une aide humanitaire résiduelle, les Palestiniens de Gaza subissent depuis plusieurs jours les conséquences d'une pluie froide qui rend invivable le quotidien sous des tentes ou dans des immeubles en ruines » poursuit le journal qui a interrogé Caroline Seguin, coordinatrice de Médecins sans Frontières, sur place depuis cinq semaines. Elle explique : « Comme l'armée israélienne occupe encore 50% du territoire, la population n'a pas d'autre choix que de rester dans des zones inondables. C'est la misère et le désespoir ». « La situation est d'autant plus préoccupante », nous dit la Croix, « que la Bande de Gaza enregistre actuellement un pic de naissances, correspondant au cessez-le-feu d'il y a 9 mois. » La coordinatrice de Médecins sans Frontières s'inquiète : « Tous ces nouveau-nés vont passer des mois dans le froid et la pluie. Je ne sais pas quelles conséquences cela va avoir sur la mortalité infantile, d'autant qu'il y a beaucoup de prématurés à cause de la malnutrition des femmes enceintes. » Trafic perturbé Des perturbations à prévoir dans le ciel : 6 000 Airbus A320 sont rappelés pour une modification technique. Toute la presse européenne en parle ce matin. « 6 000 A320 doivent arrêter immédiatement les vols pour changer d'urgence un logiciel de commandes vulnérables aux radiations solaires », explique le Parisien. C'est à la suite d'un incident survenu le 30 octobre que ce rappel a été décidé. Le Monde raconte : « Un A320 de Jet Blue était en phase de croisière entre Cancun, au Mexique, et Newark aux États-Unis, lorsque l'appareil a soudainement piqué vers le bas, sans intervention des pilotes », qui ont tout de même réussi à poser l'avion à Tampa, en Floride. La solution pour remédier à cette situation, « consiste principalement à revenir à une version antérieure du logiciel et c'est relativement simple », explique le Guardian, à Londres. Selon le Soir, à Bruxelles, ce changement de logiciel « ne prendra que quelques heures », pour la plupart des avions. Mais il aura bien sûr des conséquences sur le trafic. Air France a annulé 35 vols dès vendredi soir. Un mauvais moment à passer pour les voyageurs et pour l'avion le plus vendu au monde.
The final assembly rollout of the first Airbus A350F freighter, the ICAO-mandated emissions standards that take effect in 2027, flight delay compensation, a streaming data black box, IAE signals future GTF engine, and FAA flight restrictions end. Additionally, updates on Boeing's criminal and civil cases, the USS Forrestal aircraft carrier, and listener mail. Aviation News First A350F airframe rolled out from final assembly line The Airbus A350F freighter was launched in 2021 and originally scheduled to enter service in 2025, but Spirit AeroSystems' inability to deliver enough central fuselage sections prevented that. Spirit AeroSystems has experienced quality control and production output issues, compounded by financial challenges and a pending business restructuring involving both Airbus and Boeing. These issues affected both the freighter and passenger A350 production rates. The A350F is designed to meet the ICAO-mandated emissions standards taking effect in 2027. The standards also work in coordination with ICAO's CORSIA scheme, requiring carbon offsetting for most international flights from 2027–2035, with mandatory participation for most states.

Trump Admin Blocks Plan to Force Airlines to Pay Customers for Delays Flight cancellations by US airlines result in refunds for passengers, but flight delays are not compensated. The Biden-era proposal would have required airlines to pay cash compensation to passengers when carriers are responsible for major flight delays. The FAA said the proposal would create “unnecessary regulatory burdens” and impose significant costs on airlines. The DOT said it preferred to “allow airlines to compete on the services and compensation they provide.” Black Box in the Sky Captures Data on the Fly Honeywell Aerospace is developing a system it calls “Black Box in the Sky” (BBITS). It replaces hardware-based recorders with streamed flight data in near real-time. BBITS streams data via a cloud-based portal, simplifying flight data collection, and is consistent with the ICAO Timely Recovery of Flight Data (TRFD) mandate. The ICAO Timely Recovery of Flight Data (TRFD) technical standard, part of the Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS), requires that aircraft use technologies that ensure flight data is quickly and reliably accessible for investigators after an incident, without needing to physically recover the flight data recorder (FDR), particularly in cases such as accidents over water. TRFD applies to large commercial aircraft with type certification applications submitted after January 1, 2021. See: Honeywell to Connect 'Black Boxes' for Aviation Safety. IAE partners reaffirm GTF engine push for next-generation single-aisle jets International Aero Engines (IAE) is a joint venture formed in 1983 to develop the new V2500 engine for the 150-seat single-aisle aircraft market. The initial consortium was Pratt & Whitney (30%), Rolls-Royce (30%), Japanese Aero Engine Corporation (JAEC) (23%), MTU Aero Engines (11%), and Fiat (6%). Fiat later withdrew, and its share was taken over by Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney. Then Pratt bought out RR in 2012, making PW the majority shareholder. The V2500 powers the Airbus A320 family and the McDonnell Douglas MD-90. More than 7,800 engines have been sold. In a statement, (IAE international engine partnership marks key milestones and charts future propulsion path), the consortium said, “Together, the companies will evolve the required technologies for the development of the most advanced and efficient GTF engine technology for the next generation of commercial aircraft.” Aerotime comments that “IAE is signaling that an evolutionary path may offer lower risk than more disruptive architectures, such as open-rotor systems or hydrogen-powered solutions.” Shane Eddy, president, Pratt & Whitney, said, "As founding partners on some of the most critical engine technology and support in aerospace today, we remain fully committed to these engine programs and working together on the development of future commercial aircraft applications, particularly the next generation single aisle aircraft. As we work to chart IAE's future propulsion path, our performance on today's GTF program will remain our highest priority as we continue to focus on delivering to our customer commitments." Trump administration ends flight cuts at busy airports The FAA's flight cuts at 40 major airports ended, and the DOT emergency directive was cancelled. DOT pointed to a decline in air traffic controller-related staffing triggers. Controllers received 70 percent of the pay they were owed during the shutdown. FAA said staffing levels have continued to snap back into place since the end of the government shutdown. The current data aligns with staffing conditions before the shutdown.” Boeing Update Erin Applebaum, attorney at aviation accident law firm Kriendler & Kriendler, describes the latest developments in the Boeing criminal and civil lawsuits. First civil trial of 737 Max in Ethiopia begins as Boeing settles three more lawsuit Boeing has accepted liability for the crash, and the jury's task in this civil case was limited to setting damages for burial costs, lost income, and emotional suffering for the family of one victim. Boeing's liability had already been established and is the same for all victims. On the other hand, damages are assessed on a per-victim basis, taking into account the unique circumstances of each individual. Boeing settles with families of three 737 Max crash victims Boeing won't face criminal charge over 737 Max crashes that killed hundreds of people A federal judge in Texas granted the government's request to dismiss, and Boeing will not face a criminal conspiracy charge. Erin describes how the judge did not think dismissal was warranted, but his hands were tied as he would have had to find that the government was acting in bad faith. The families have filed an appeal under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

The first flight of the Lockheed Martin X-59 supersonic Aircraft, Boom Supersonic, the end of SeatGuru, JetBlue emergency landing, new Navy jet trainer, and an Airbus A400M is delivered to Indonesia. Also, a talk with Cranky Flier and the certification of Chinese commercial jets. Aviation News NASA takes one step closer to launching quiet supersonic jets Lockheed Martin Skunk Works®, in partnership with NASA, completed the first flight of the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft. The X-59 is designed to demonstrate the ability to fly at supersonic speeds while reducing the sonic boom to a “gentle thump.” Lockheed Martin X59 first flight. The X-59 took off from Skunk Works' facility at U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, before landing near NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Lockheed Martin says “the X-59 performed exactly as planned.” Working with NASA, Skunk Works will continue to lead the aircraft's initial flight test campaign to expand the X-59's flight envelope over the coming months. Part of this test will include the X-59's first supersonic flights and enable NASA to operate the X-59 to measure its sound signature and conduct community acceptance testing.

The Overture remains targeted for a first flight in 2027, followed by a goal of certification by 2029. Boom is assembling and testing components for its in-house Symphony turbofan engine, with manufacturing and validation underway at its Colorado R&D facility. Full-scale engine tests are anticipated in 2026. At least 15 people sent to hospital after JetBlue flight drops altitude, forcing emergency landing in Florida, officials say In a statement, JetBlue said Flight 1230 from Cancun, Mexico, to Newark, New Jersey, “experienced a drop in altitude.” The plane diverted to Tampa International Airport, and at least 15 people were sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and discharged. The Airbus A320 dropped about 100 feet in about seven seconds. The FAA is investigating a “flight control issue.” End Of An Era: SeatGuru Officially Shuts Down, Redirects To TripAdvisor SeatGuru was launched in 2001 and was widely used by air travelers to examine airline seat maps of most aircraft types. TripAdvisor acquired SeatGuru in 2007, but by early 2020, updates to the seat maps ceased. Seatguru.com now displays the message “SeatGuru has closed down, please visit Tripadvisor to plan your next trip.” TripAdvisor doesn't offer the service that SeatGuru once did. Alternatives include AeroLOPA, SeatMaps, Expert Flyer, and AwardFares. United Airlines CEO Aligns With Trump, Eyes JetBlue Merger? United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby appeared at the White House alongside Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, voicing strong support for reopening the U.S. government without conditions. Kirby emphasized the strain on air traffic control and the airline industry amid the prolonged government shutdown. He called for a “clean continuing resolution.” Some observers speculate that Kirby has a strategy to integrate JetBlue's operations in the Northeast with United's existing Newark operations and a potential Boston expansion. T-45 to Depart the Pattern The T-45 Goshawk Navy jet trainer was originally manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, which merged with Boeing in 1997. The Navy wants a replacement for the Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS) program. Vying for the contract are the SNC Freedom Trainer and the Beechcraft M-346N. The Navy expects to formally announce a request for proposals in December 2025 and award a contract in January 2027.

Europenii își fac calcule referitoare la taxele vamale cuprinse în acordul comercial UE-SUA. Unele industrii și companii vor pierde, altele vor câștiga. Deocamdată, însă, unele prevederi ale înțelegerii dintre cele două mari blocuri comerciale rămân în negociere. După „sublimul” acord pe tema tarifelor vamale încheiat între Uniunea Europeană și Statele Unite ale Americii, statele membre, economiile și patronatele își fac calcule cu privire la impactul pe care îl vor avea noile prevederi asupra sectoarelor economice. În Franța, Eric Lombard, ministrul economiei și finanțelor, a anunțat că va organiza întâlniri cu patronatele din diverse sectoare. Cotidianul „Les Echos” arată că vor fi industrii care vor câștiga și altele pentru care există multă incertitudine referitoare la efectele asupra companiilor. Astfel, sectorul aeronautic răsuflă ușurat. Asociația Franceză de profil salută exceptarea de la taxare după un dialog transatlantic. Măsura este logică în contextul în care în ultimii ani s-a constatat că multele dispute pe teme comerciale între Airbus și Boeing nu au dus la nimic bun pentru niciuna dintre companii. De altfel, cele două firme au pledat la unison pentru a se păstra actualul nivel de taxare, respectiv zero, un statut vamal care funcționează încă din anul 1979. Specialiștii arată că există colaborări la nivel transatlantic care au creat fluxuri comerciale echilibrate în ambele direcții. De exemplu, industria aeronautică franceză exportă aproximativ 80% din cifra de afaceri, de 51 miliarde de euro, în anul 2024, iar aplicarea unor taxe vamale ar fi fost un dezastru pentru un sector economic extrem de integrat. „Les Echos” dă exemplul unui motor de avion construit complementar de compania Safran în Franța și de General Electric în SUA și care echipează atât Airbus A320 și Boeing 737. În același timp, producătorii din sectorul aeronautic se temeau, în cazul introducerii de taxe vamale, de birocrația cu care acestea veneau la pachet, într-o industrie în care de 40 de ani nimeni nu a calculat tarife vamale. Dar, nu toate industriile sunt atât de mulțumite ca sectorul aviatic. Patronatele din industria produselor lactate sunt îngrijorate. Producătorii francezi exportă anual în Statele Unite mărfuri de 350 milioane de euro și obțin profituri bune în special la brânză. Organizațiile de afaceri din domeniu cred că un acord, chiar și cu taxe vamale, este mai bun decât un război comercial. Majoritatea marilor companii europene din industria lactatelor produc în Europa și exportă în SUA. Dar, o creștere a prețurilor pe piața americană cauzată de aplicarea taxelor vamale va pune un semn de întrebare față de comportamentul de consum, respectiv există riscul să se înregistreze o scădere a vânzărilor din cauza creșterii prețurilor. Deocamdată, acordul tarifar UE-SUA nu cuprinde decizii privind băuturile spirtoase și vinurile, dar detaliile vor fi finalizate în următoarele săptămâni. Până acum, negocierile merg în direcția de a nu taxa băuturile spirtoase, dar acest lucru va trebui confirmat. În orice caz, recent, un producător francez important în domeniul băuturilor alcoolice a calculat că aplicarea unor taxe vamale de 30% i-ar aduce pierderi de 35 milioane de euro pe an. În acest moment, sectorul vinicol este supus taxării, iar patronatele din domeniu au calculat că un nivel de 10% ar fi suportabil, dar o taxă vamală mai mare de atât ar duce la creșterea prețurilor pe piața americană. Industria cosmetică franceză și-a făcut primele calcule. Piața americană este importantă pentru companiile franceze, unde trimit 12% din totalul exporturilor, iar o taxare cu 15% va complica statutul acestor mărfuri în America. Studiile arată că există riscul unei pierderi anuale de 300 milioane de euro și cel al desființării a 5.000 de locuri de muncă în Franța. Directorul general al L Oreal, o companie importantă din industrie, a anunțat în această primăvară că ia în calcul posibilitatea relocării unei părți din producție în SUA. Desigur, calculele vor continua, fiecare sector economic va avea efecte diferite și câștiguri sau pierderi. Donald Trump a complicat viața firmelor europene care exportă în SUA, dar beneficiile americanilor legate de introducerea taxelor vamale sunt încă neclare.
In this episode, we speak with Amaury Barberot, CEO of Expliseat, about how the company's innovative lightweight seating technology is delivering immediate sustainability benefits for airlines while improving their bottom line.Barberot discusses:Expliseat's revolutionary aircraft seat design made from carbon fibre and titanium that is 30% lighter than comparable products, saving approximately 1,200 kilograms when retrofitted on an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737.The immediate environmental impact of their lightweight seats, which deliver a 6% CO2 emission reduction per passenger without requiring airlines to wait for future technology developments.How the weight reduction focuses on the "invisible parts" of the seat, preserving passenger comfort while still delivering sustainability benefits.The company's circular manufacturing approach, which recycles industrial waste from seat frames to create new components like tray tables, further reducing their environmental footprint.Their recent expansion into the rail industry, where their lightweight technology helps train operators overcome axle weight limitations to improve passenger amenities or increase capacity.Barberot emphasises that Expliseat represents one of the rare sustainability solutions where "CSO and CFO do not fight," highlighting how their technology aligns environmental and economic objectives for airlines across different regions and business models.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Dr. Mark Hiller, CEO at RECARO Aircraft Seating and Recaro Holding.

Le 24 mars 2015, un Airbus A320 de la compagnie Germanwings s'écrasait dans les Alpes, tuant 150 personnes, aucun survivant. Dix ans après, l'aviation a renforcé ses protocoles de sécurité.Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================21 de FebreroAbrir la puerta a Dios«El que me ama, mi palabra guardará; y mi Padre lo amará, y vendremos a él y haremos morada con él» ( Juan 14: 23).El vuelo 9525 de la compañía Germanwings del 24 de marzo de 2015 era un vuelo internacional regular de pasajeros operado con un Airbus A320-211. El avión despegó del aeropuerto de Barcelona a las 10:01 de la mañana hacia el aeropuerto Internacional de Düsseldorf con 144 pasajeros, 2 pilotos y 4 miembros de la tripulación.En pleno vuelo, el primer piloto salió un momento de la cabina, y al volver a ella se encontró con la puerta cerrada por dentro. No pudo abrirla a pesar de sus insistentes llamados.«¡Por el amor de Dios, abre la puerta!», gritó a su compañero de vuelo, que seguía al mando del avión como segundo piloto. Pero la única respuesta fue el silencio. El avión se lanzó en pleno descenso, aumentando cada vez más la velocidad, contra el macizo de los Alpes.Como ratificó la segunda caja negra encontrada, el primer piloto utilizó un hacha metálica para intentar forzar la puerta, que solo podía abrirse por dentro, entre los gritos de pánico de los viajeros y del equipaje.«¡Dios mío!», fue en varios idiomas el grito desesperado de los pasajeros, que quedó ahogado por la inmensa explosión del avión al estrellarse y desintegrase contra las rocas. El eco del estruendo se perdió en un silencio sin fin en el macizo de Estrop, en los Alpes franceses de Provenza, cerca de la localidad de Barcelonnette. El copiloto había estrellado el avión para suicidarse, arrastrando a la muerte a las otras 149 personas que iban a bordo.Este espantoso accidente me hace pensar en Apocalipsis 3: 20: «Yo estoy a la puerta y llamo, si alguno oyere mi voz y abriere la puerta, entraré a él, y cenaré con él, y el conmigo».La metáfora de la puerta del corazón humano, que solo puede abrirse por dentro, nos recuerda que el mayor deseo de Cristo es «hacer morada» en nosotros. Pero debemos dejarle entrar.Señor, yo también a veces me encierro en mí mismo y quiero pilotar mi vida. Sigue llamando a mi puerta con toda la fuerza que haga falta. No dejes que me estrelle ni que arrastre conmigo, en mi obstinación, a quienes confían en mí.
We visit the Brunswick Naval Aviation Museum in Maine and speak with the Vice President and Operations Manager, and the Executive Director. In the news, more furloughs and cost-cutting measures at Spirit Airlines, the FAA's final rule is out on powered-lift vehicles such as eVTOLS, a fuel top-off assumption leads to the loss of a Beechcraft B-60, the “doomsday plane” gets an official designation, and Boeing machinists vote again on a contract proposal. Guests At the Brunswick Naval Aviation Museum we spoke with Vice President and Operations Manager Jeff Smat and Executive Director John B. Briley. The Museum was founded in 2009 as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation with a mission to preserve the rich heritage of NAS Brunswick (NASB) by honoring the tens of thousands of men and women who served here, educate the public about the history of maritime patrol aviation and NASB, and maintain a memorial for those NASB-based airmen who gave their lives in service to their country. The museum is located at 179 Fitch Avenue, Brunswick, ME 04011. Currently, the Museum and Memorial Gardens are open Wednesdays (10:00 am-4:00 pm) and Sundays (12:00 pm-4:00 pm).

Aviation News Spirit to Furlough More Than 300 Pilots as Losses Mount Spirit Airlines is experiencing financial difficulty and a second-quarter net loss of $158 million. More red ink is expected for the third quarter. Last month the airline furloughed 186 pilots and plans to do the same for 330 more pilots effective January 31, 2025. (Spirit has 3,500 pilots.) About 120 captains are to be downgraded. Spirit says it will sell 23 of its Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft next year. That's a fleet reduction of about 11 percent. Energy Reserves and Pilot Training For eVTOLs Addressed in FAA's SFAR Rules The FAA issued its final rule for powered-lift vehicles, such as eVTOLS. The Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes - Final Rule adopts permanent amendments and a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for ten years to facilitate the certification of powered-lift pilots, clarify operating rules applicable to operations involving a powered-lift, and finalize other amendments which are necessary to integrate powered-lift into the National Airspace System (NAS). The Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes NPRM was issued in June 2023. Standing order to top off fuel tanks backfires on pilot In November 2022, the pilot of a Beechcraft B-60 (N51AL) assumed the FBO topped off the fuel tanks, per his standing fueling order, before hangaring the aircraft. But fuel was not added this time and the pilot landed in a cemetery when both fuel-starved Lycoming engines quit. The pilot and his wife sustained minor injuries.

SNC Receives Second Boeing 747-8 for SAOC Conversion as Aircraft Gets E-4C Designation Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) now has the second of five Boeing 747-8s from Korean Air for conversion to “Doomsday aircraft,” which become airborne command centers during national emergencies. These provide critical command, control, and communication (C3) for the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The E-4C will replace the current fleet of E-4B Nightwatch B747-200 aircraft. The contract notice says the award was for $13 Billion. SOC recently cut the ribbon for its Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) at its Aviation Innovation and Technology Center (AITC) in Dayton, Ohio. This 100,000 sq. ft. hangar is located near Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Boeing Machinists head to the polls in decisive vote that could end strike
