The world's first independent air force owes its survival and shape to its ‘father', Hugh Trenchard. We explore how with the RAF Museum's Dr Harry Raffal. Described as ‘the architect and patron saint of modern air power', Marshal of the RAF Viscount Hugh Trenchard (1873–1956) was the first Chief of the Air Staff (January–April 1918 and 1919–1930). An army officer badly wounded in the Boer War, he was among the first British military pilots and the frontline commander of the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. The RAF was formed on 1 April 1918, and Trenchard set firm foundations for its survival and development, often against bitter hostility from the other Services. His administrative skills, realism, tenacity and willingness to be unpopular created an organisation that saved the nation during the Battle of Britain. His friend TE Lawrence (Season 3, Episode 7) argued that ‘The RAF is the finest individual effort in history. No other man has been given a blank sheet and told to make a Service from the ground up. It is your single work…' Following retirement from the RAF, Trenchard was appointed as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, where he set about a substantial reform agenda with the same single-mindedness. Dr Harry Raffal is Head of Collections and Research at the RAF Museum. His doctorate, from the University of Hull, explores RAF and Luftwaffe operations during the evacuation of Dunkirk. He is a Committee member of the RAF Historical Society and the British Commission for Military History, and Vice-Chair of the Royal Aeronautical Society's Aeronautical Heritage Group.

Boeing's commercial market outlook, the AirVenture and Farnborough air shows, Airbus' A321XLR certification, funding for FAA infrastructure, Embraer's Eve flying taxi prototype, JetBlue's unpaid leave offer to flight attendants, and first officers decline to upgrade to captain. Aviation News Boeing Forecasts Demand for Nearly 44,000 New Airplanes Through 2043 as Air Travel Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels Boeing released its Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) for 2024-2043, including an interactive dashboard. CMO forecast highlights through 2043: The global commercial fleet is projected to grow 3.2% annually. The air cargo fleet will increase by two-thirds by 2043, to support 4.1% annual air cargo traffic growth. The number of global routes served by commercial airlines has returned to 2019 levels, even though nearly 20% of them are new, illustrating the adaptability of aviation in a dynamic market. Single-aisle airplanes will make up 71% of the 2043 fleet. The global widebody fleet will more than double, with twin-aisles comprising 44% of the Middle East fleet. It's Opening Week for Two of the World's Largest Airshows EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is July 22 – July 28, 2024. EAA has about 300,000 members worldwide. AirVenture sees more than 500,000 attendees over the week-long event they call The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration®. The Farnborough International Airshow is held every two years, alternating with the Paris Air Show. This year Farnborough is July 22 – July 26, 2024, and targets the global aerospace industry. See Farnborough Air Show 2024 - Preview from the Royal Aeronautical Society. Airbus A321XLR Receives EASA Type Certification The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued Type Certification for the Airbus A321XLR powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines. Airbus has a backlog of over 500 single-aisle A321XLR orders. Iberia is the launch customer and EIS is expected in November 2024. Airbus also has orders from Qantas, Icelandair, and IAG Group. Certification for the Pratt & Whitney GTF variant is to come next. Groups Push Lawmakers To Up FAA's ATC Equipment Budget Twenty-six industry associations sent a letter to the Appropriations Committees, the Senate Commerce Committee, and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee asking for more ATC modernization funding. The associations represent business and general aviation, airlines, air traffic controllers and specialists, pilots and flight attendants, and manufacturers. The groups note an uncommitted balance in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF) that could be used for the FAA's Facilities and Equipment (F&E) account. “We… believe more must be done to not only maintain and sustain the ATC system but also to modernize it.” The Airport and Airway Trust Fund (AATF), also known as the Aviation Trust Fund, was established in 1970 to help finance the FAA's investments in the airport and airway system, independent of the General Fund.

In 1945 confidence in British aviation was sky-high. Yet decades later, the industry had not lived up to its potential. What happened? The years that followed the war saw the Brabazon Committee issued flawed proposals for civil aviation planning. Enforced cancellations restricted the advancement of military aircraft, compounded later on by Defence Minister Duncan Sandys abandoning aircraft to fixate solely on missiles. Commercially, Britain's small and neglected domestic market hindered the development of civilian airliners. In the production of notorious aircraft, the inauspicious Comet came from de Havilland's attempts to gain an edge over its American competitors. The iconic Harrier jump jet and an indigenous crop of helicopters were squandered, while unrealistic performance requirements brought about the cancellation of TSR2. Peter Reese explores how repeated financial crises, a lack of rigour and fatal self-satisfaction led British aviation to miss vital opportunities across this turbulent period in Britain's skies. Peter Reese wrote this lecture for the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust in 2023. The recording is courtesy of the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

After being redeployed from Unilever to a small firm just outside Rugby in May 1940, Bob Feilden played a key role in the development of Whittle's jet engine, working with his colleagues to transform the jet from theory into practice. Starting with the early history of Whittle's jet engine and its early testing, Feilden takes us inside the firm to give us a first-hand account of the jet's flight trials, in the Gloster E28/39 and how they overcame the technical challenges to develop the W1 engine into the W2, W2/500 and W2/700. Feilden also explores how the firm looked to make the engine fit for the ill-fated Miles M52, the plans for the LR1 Turbofan, the relationship between Power Jets and Rolls-Royce and how the team broke up in 1946 after nationalisation. The lecture was also published as a Hodgson Prize winning paper for the Aeronautical Journal in February 1993.

The Spanish Civil War came at a significant period in the development of aviation and foreshadowed aerial warfare in the Second World War. But how much was the Royal Air Force taking notice of what was happening on the continent and what lessons did they learn? In this lecture, Brian Armstrong challenges the impression that those in command of Britain's air forces were blithely ignorant of the Spanish Civil War. He takes us into the world of British air intelligence to explore their work and the conclusions they drew from the war in Spain. He then takes us into the minds of the upper ranks of the Royal Air Force to show how many of the lessons from the conflict they took from air intelligence reports and other sources. He also explores what lessons were learnt by the French, Americans, Russians and, most importantly, the Germans. The lecture starts with Armstrong giving us an aeronautical history of the Spanish Civil War, exploring the aircraft used and major highlights in the campaign. Brian Armstrong MRAeS gave his lecture to a meeting organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society's Historical Group on 13 February 2003. The lecture is introduced by Frank Armstrong FRAeS, the recording was digitised thanks to a grant from the RAeS Foundation and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

Tom Burbage: F-35 Tom Burbage retired from the Lockheed Martin Corporation in 2013. He was the President of the Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems Company and the Executive VP/GM for both the USAF F-22 Raptor and the multi-service, allied next generation fighter, the F-35. Prior to joining Lockheed, Tom was a Naval Aviator, completing the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School in 1975. He has accumulated more than 3,000 hours in 38 different types of military aircraft.

Tom has received numerous industry awards, including the U.S. Naval Academy/Harvard Business Review Award for Ethical Leadership; the Aerospace Industry Personality of the Year; the Society of Automotive Engineers Leadership in Aerospace Award; and many others. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society in the United Kingdom. He is co-author along with Betsy Clark and Adrian Pitman of the book F-35: The Inside Story of the Lightning II. Sometimes we find ourselves leading a very large team that isn't used to working together. That happened to Tom Burbage who was the general manager of the F-35 fighter jet. In this conversation, we explore how to bring together many stakeholders in order to do something bigger than any one of them could do alone. Key Points Solicit and listen to feedback on what didn't work in past situations. Establish behavior norms and expectations and continue coming back to them. When disagreements happen, resolve them in the context of these norms. Consider including customers in major meetings, so struggles are shared transparently with all stakeholders. Behavior norms and expectations were established globally and referenced in most formal interactions. When flare ups happened, they were often settled quickly in the spirit of the norms. A “one team” concept was used to unify people from formerly competing organizations to align them to the nobler motive.

An Air Force official has denied staging a simulation exercise where an artificial intelligence drone went rogue and killed its human operator. The US military is attempting to use AI for everything from fighting fires to operating fighter jets, but a deadly glitch would be the stuff of horror movies. The controversy sprang from comments made by Colonel Tucker ‘Cinco' Hamilton, the Chief of AI Test and Operations, USAF. He was addressing an audience at a conference in London by the Royal Aeronautical Society on May 23-24. Col.Hamilton said that he was involved in flight tests of autonomous systems, including robot F-16s that can dogfight, and that when a weaponized AI system is given the autonomy to act on its own it could develop "highly unexpected strategies" to achieve its goals. Col. Hamilton claimed that in a simulated test, an AI-enabled drone was given the task of destroying surface-to-air missile sites and that it realized that the decisions made by its human operator were interfering with its higher mission - to kill the Surface to Air Missiles. He said that the system decided to wipe out the operator because it saw no advantage in returning the decision to a higher authority. But on Friday, the Air Force issued a statement denying that it ever ran such an experiment. It said that Col. Hamilton misspoke' during his presentation and that the rogue drone story had been taken out of context. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Good Morning and Happy Friday, you filthy, filthy animals. We're alive and live at 8:00 am eastern to solve all of the worlds ailments—Law and Legitimacy is the antidote. The question is: did you tell a friend? Should you tell another? What's the first thing you're going to tell that person when you recommend the #BestLawPodcast on the internet? We have some ideas . . . . In #NBAFinals news, the Denver Nuggets took a pickaxe to the Miami Heat last night in Game 1. Easy claps, as they say in the business. Jimmy Buckets or Jimmy Tuck-Its? The Heat star took a backseat to the team's center in shot attempts. Nikola Jokic was cleaning glass, dishing times, and doing it from the free-throw line on the way to a triple-double. Good stuff from the Mile High Club. . › It is #FreeSpeechFriday on Twitter. The Daily Wire and Matt Walsh have made sure of that, by publishing the documentary "What is a Woman?" for free viewing on the social media platform that supports free speech, the first amendment, and the objective nature of truth. Right, Elon? Elon? Earth to Elon . . . › Artificial Intelligence: is the A.I. "Skynet" here already? — The RAeS Future Combat Air & Space Capabilities Summit was held May 23 and 24 at the Royal Aeronautical Society's headquarters in London. Among the leading takeaways was the case study of an artificial intelligence simulation in which an AI-enabled drone tasked with search and destroy orders of enemy surface-to-air missile sites made a remarkably dark, yet predictable decision: it attacked it's human operator. Rude stuff. › Mike put his cards on the table yesterday, offering his opinion that student-athletes should not be paid for participation in college sports. His real-life friends politely engaged the topic via Twitter. What is the true nature of Mike's position? › Bill Cosby is in the news again. Victoria Valentino filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles County District Court yesterday for damages stemming from an alleged rape that occurred some 50 years ago. Valentino is a former Playboy model and has filed the lawsuit under a California law that is set to rescind at the end of 2023. Under the law—The Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act—plaintiff's are afforded a one-year "revive" window to file an action to recover damages alleged to have been suffered as a result of a claimed sexual assault that would have been otherwise barred after January 1, 2023. Cosby is an easy target. And long-time LALiens may recall Norm's interview with one Andrew Wyatt, Bill Cosby's publicist, from a couple of years ago. How is a defendant afforded due process of law in the face of claims so old that witnesses and records required for one to mount an adequate legal defense are no longer accessible? Join us.
