There’s a new airliner on the tarmac, folks... and what it does is change the dynamic of small airline travel with a thoroughly modern approach to the need to support small markets. The Tecnam P2012 Traveller was on display at NBAA 2019 and ANN’s Jim Campbell got a rundown with Tecnam’s Shannon Yeager about the piston twin’s potential. Tamarack Aerospace Group has filed a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization with the Eastern District of Washington. The filed Plan includes repayment of all credito
Research Is Focused On Aircraft Movement Schedules
Two years into a three-year demonstration of new technology for more efficiently scheduling takeoffs at a major airport, NASA researchers already have seen the system generate results benefitting participating airlines and their passengers.

“With ATD-2 we’ve demonstrated during the past two years we’re able to move aircraft in a more efficient manner, which is resulting in time saved, fuel saved, and less CO2 released.”
Source: Shawn Engelland, NASA’s ATD project manager, commenting on recent research... The focus of the research – known as Airspace Technology Demonstration-2, or ATD-2 – is on enabling the coordination of schedules among those who manage the movement of aircraft from an airport gate to a spot in the sky after takeoff where they can safely join with the overhead traffic – like a car merging onto a freeway.
