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

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A story from today's press review demonstrates why Democrats and Republicans are NOT a “uniparty.” On spending, maybe you can make a partial claim on such but it is universal to all elected government, all places.

In this special episode of Microbrew, Journal Sentinel reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe take a deep dive into the Brewers farm system, a talent-rich territory that Curt recently profiled with his prospect rankings at jsonline.com. They discuss the top tier stars Jesús Made and Luis Peña. What makes them special, and is 18 years old too early to identify greatness? They discuss the next tier of players (Cooper Pratt, Jeferson Quero), the controversial prospects who could go either way (Braylon Payne, Brock Wilken, Eric Bitonti) and the players who could potentially help the Brewers this season (Anthony Siegler). Does the pitching dry up after Jacob Misiorowski and Logan Henderson? What about the new names to know, like Brailyn Antunez? Who aren't we talking about enough? Then, JR has interviews with three players discussed, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers players Bishop Letson, Blake Burke and Marco Dinges. They discuss their baseball journeys and Dinges and Burke re-live an epic College World Series against each other just last year. We'll be back next week with our regular week-in-review of the big-league Brewers.

When I helped launch Twist magazine in the late '90s, we basically huddled around old issues of Sassy like sacred texts, trying to decode what made them so special. The answer? Jane Pratt. So it was with excitement and a little nervousness that I jumped on a Substack Live Interview with her. We chatted about: Her miserable boarding school experience and how it inspired Sassy Getting pulled off 70% of newsstands after a boycott by the religious right The secret behind Sassy's success and why it changed so many lives Her evolution from Sassy to Jane Working with Michael Stipe, who she dated for years and now calls her best friend and daughter's godfather Her decision to launch Another Jane Pratt Thing on Substack rather than a standalone website How she finds new writers and spots a good story What makes her such a good editor Gen X resilience Why she hates the word “influencer,” even though she was one of the first Her optimism about the current state of the media Name dropping The shift to multi-hyphenate careers, and what she puts as her profession on doctor's forms.

Puntata a cura di UntimoteoTutto ricominciò con un'estate indiana è uno dei massimi capolavori del fumetto italiano. E, a buon diritto, tra le opere più importanti della nona arte tout-court. Sceneggiato dal Maestro di Malamocco, ovvero il veterano del racconto d'avventura Hugo Pratt, e illustrato dal virtuoso veronese della matita Milo Manara, è ambientato nelle colonie del New England del XVIII° secolo. Compare per la prima volta nel 1983, a puntate, sull'allora appena nata rivista Corto Maltese, costola della storica Linus. Tutto ricominciò con un'estate indiana è la vetta della produzione dei due autori, che qui si fondono mirabilmente. Pratt si abbandona con voluttà alle forme ideali delle donne e dei giovani, ritratti da un Manara che di contro non eccede mai, sfoderando un tratto sublime ma sempre fedele alle necessità della narrazione.Una storia ricca di rimandi letterari e di immagini evocative. Centocinquanta pagine di perfezione stilistica e narrativa, che si fanno divorare e poi rimirare a lungo.“Fumetto” è il formato del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato al mondo dei fumetti.

What if one wish could change the course of a child's recovery? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Jen Pratt, a pediatrician, childhood cancer survivor, and Make-A-Wish recipient turned advocate. At just 11 years old, Jen was diagnosed with bone cancer—a life-changing moment that launched her into a world of hospitals, chemo, and uncertainty. But her journey also included something magical: a wish. Jen shares her deeply personal story of receiving a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation and how that experience not only helped her cope during treatment but also inspired her path into medicine. Now, working at the very hospital where she was once treated, Jen sees firsthand how a single wish can uplift not just a child, but an entire family. We dive into: Jen's cancer diagnosis and the emotional toll it took on her and her family Her unforgettable wish to meet Disney animators—and why it mattered so much The Wish Impact Study and the real data showing how hope affects healing The misconception that wishes are just for terminally ill kids (they're not!) How Make-A-Wish brings light to dark moments—and why it's more than just a “nice thing” Heartwarming stories from the hospital frontlines The powerful role of mental health in medical recovery Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or simply someone who believes in the magic of kindness, this episode is a reminder that hope truly heals.

The Air India B787 fatal crash and the ram air turbine, how your personal travel data is sold, next generation commercial aircraft engines, personal electric flying machines that are becoming dangerously affordable, and GippsAero is coming back to Australia to build the GA8 airvan. Aviation News Indian authorities begin investigating Air India crash in which 1 passenger survived India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is investigating the fatal crash of an Air India B787. Of the 242 passengers and crew aboard, one passenger survived. Numerous theories are being speculated in the press, including loss of power by both engines, failure to set the flaps properly for takeoff, and erroneously retracting the flaps instead of the landing gear. Some say the Ram Air Turbine appears to be deployed in one video. The Ram Air Turbine (RAT) extends from the fuselage or the wing to generate power in an emergency. Twin blades [corrected] spin a shaft connected to either an electrical generator or a hydraulic pump that drives a generator. The B787, A320, and A380 Ram Air Turbines are produced by Collins Aerospace. The company manufactures hydraulic, electric, and hybrid RATs that generate both electric and hydraulic power. Safran also produces Ram Air Turbines. Ram Air Turbine. Image courtesy Collins Aerospace.

Airlines Secretly Sold One Billion Passenger Records—Now The Government Can Track Where You Travel The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) is a major provider of settlement services for the airline industry. Clients include airlines, travel agencies, and corporate travel departments. ARC is owned by the airlines and sells passenger names, full domestic flight itineraries, and payment details (e.g., credit card used) through its “Travel Intelligence Program” (TIP). Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is reportedly purchasing this data. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is critical of this practice and wants airlines to explain why they allow ARC to resell this information. CBP claims they adhere to strong privacy policies, and only use the data for open investigations. Open Fan Would Be Suboptimal On Narrowbody, RTX Chief Scientist Says The next generation of single-aisle aircraft will need to offer at least a 20% fuel burn improvement. Some of that will likely come from the airframe, and most will come from the power plants. The next generation of turbofans under development includes the CFM International open-fan RISE demonstrator and geared turbofans from Pratt & Whitney. Thermal efficiency vs. propulsive efficiency: Thermal efficiency measures how effectively an engine converts fuel energy into mechanical work. Propulsive efficiency measures how efficiently the engine converts mechanical energy into useful thrust. Both are dimensionless ratios, typically expressed as a percentage (%). The overall efficiency of the engine is the propulsive efficiency multiplied by the thermal efficiency.

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.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: There is a push from the Trump camp for Texas to consider mid-decade redistricting to aid in picking up more Republican seats in Congress. The rumor that such might be considered has been around for a while but now there has been a meeting of Texas Republican members of Congress to discuss such. At present there is not much enthusiasm for such and it comes with big risks. At present, under current conditions, I don't expect much to come of it but, if Governor Abbott were to get aboard, he'd be the one to set it in motion with a Special Session call which would need to be in July, or the very earliest days of August fit time constraints.The New York Times broke the story: White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.City of Abilene officials looking to make home ownership that much more out of reach with another property tax increase.

Panthers blow out Oilers (21 penalties) in Game 3 of Stanley Cup finals; Tigers and Mets pitching lead them to the best records in MLB. Bengals release LB Pratt. Bryson shoots even par on a cold day at Oakmont in his prep for US Open.

Off the Bench Is Going on Haitus. We will return for the Football Season and be back better than ever!   On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds triumphed over the Cleveland Guardians with a 7-4 victory at Progressive Field, securing the Ohio Cup for the first time since 2014. The Reds, led by manager Terry Francona, unleashed an offensive barrage, amassing 16 hits. Jake Fraley shone with three hits, including a home run, while TJ Friedl also went yard, boosting the team's morale. Wade Miley delivered a solid pitching performance, and Pagan sealed the win with a strong close. This victory marked the Reds' fourth straight win, improving their record to 34-33 and pushing them above .500 for the first time since May 19. The Ohio Cup, a symbol of Buckeye State bragging rights, was clinched after the Reds dominated the season series, including a sweep of the Guardians earlier in May. Fans celebrated the return of the trophy to Cincinnati, with social media buzzing about the team's momentum. Friedl humorously noted the cup could hold “two and a half 12-ounce Coors Lights,” adding a lighthearted touch to the achievement. This win signals the Reds' growing confidence as they aim to close the 6.5-game gap behind the NL Central-leading Cubs. On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals released linebacker Germaine Pratt, a team captain and their 2024 leading tackler with 143 tackles. The move, reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, saves $5.6-$5.9 million in 2025 cap space but incurs $2.3 million in dead money. Pratt, a 2019 third-round pick, requested a trade in February after defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo's departure, signaling discontent with the new scheme under Al Golden. His release, following a career-high season with two interceptions and two forced fumbles, weakens a defense already criticized for allowing 30+ points against top offenses in 2024. The Bengals aim to replace Pratt with younger talent, including second-round pick Demetrius Knight Jr. and fourth-rounder Barrett Carter, alongside free agent Oren Burks. However, transitioning to rookies risks inexperience at a critical position, potentially exacerbating defensive struggles. Fans on X expressed dismay, fearing a further decline in defensive performance, while some see Pratt landing with Anarumo's Indianapolis Colts. The Bengals' shift to youth and speed, as noted by director Duke Tobin, prioritizes long-term flexibility but may hinder immediate competitiveness in a tough AFC North.
