Air India Preliminary Report Cites Fuel Cutoff Action(s), In Crash Investigation

Air India’s B787, VT-ANB, Went Down At Ahmedabad, 12 June 2025, 0809 UTC

Barely a month after the tragedy of the first major Boeing 787 accident, a preliminary report has surfaced that indicates that something may have been amiss in the cockpit and neither the airframe or maintenance procedures is currently suspected as the Probable Cause for the tragedy that took the lives of 241 people in the aircraft (with one improbable survivor) and another 19 souls on the ground. The aviation industry has been bombarded with countless instant experts on the internet... some of whom should have known better than to guess so early into the investigation phase, but we tend to doubt that the Prelim will shut many of them up... even when they've clearly been off the mark time and time again.

Single-Seat eVTOL an Excellent Steed for the First Guy On-Scene

Jetson got an unusual invite from the GOPR Polish Mountain Rescue Team: Try out a pair of their production single-seat eVTOLs in a rescue scenario. The team travelled to southern Poland with some Jetson ONEs in tow, trying out a number of practice scenarios in the local mountainscape. The single-seat nature of the ONE apparently didn’t cause much issue in terms of rescue ops, intended to provide rapid transport to the very first of the first-responders...

Barely a month after the first major Boeing 787 accident, a preliminary report indicates that something may have been amiss in the cockpit. The tragedy took the lives of 241 people in the aircraft (with one improbable survivor) and another 19 souls on the ground. The prelim notes that, "The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off. NBAA is pushing back in a big way on a recent report by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) that it says provides an incomplete and inaccurate depiction of business jet emissions and private a

Bell Moves Forward with X-Plane for SPRINT

Up Next: Building, Testing, Engineering…

Bell Helicopter has been down-selected for Phase 2 of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s SPRINT X-Plane program, but that’s a good thing! The wording is apparently a positive turn of DARPA phrase that indicates Bell Textron, Inc will move forward in the Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT) X-Plane program and complete their design for a demonstrator. They’ll go as far as construction, ground testing, and certification of the aircraft eventually, hopefully giving their client an aircraft that can hover in place and still pull off a 450-knot cruise.
