2024 SUN N FUN Innovation Preview Segments Published

Massive Aviation News Event Started 2024 Off With a Plethora of Exciting Info

Last year, we introduced the SnF Innovation Preview in which 25 companies introduced over 30 new planes, products, engines, accessories, and more… in other words… a LOT of news. Rotax previewed the powerful 916iS, CubCrafters showcased the Carbon Cub UL, Bose introduced the A30, Aerox revealed the Boomula… and so much more. This year, we went beyond that... way beyond all that, with a larger selection of news announcements that covered ALL aspects of sport, general and commercial aviation... all at the start of the 50th Annual SUN n FUN Aerospace Expo... the undisputed start to the aviation year. This year was also a major news-breaker... especially with the announcement that the DeltaHawk Diesel engine folks were working with Piper Aircraft on an STC for the PA44 Seminole.

Also: Aura-Aero Electric Integral E, Hartzell Talon For GameBird, Boeing Pleads, Airline Docks Exec 4 Drunk Pilots

In a historic first for American aviation, Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator aircraft flew beyond the sound barrier at Mach 1.1 at the Mojave Air & Space Port (KMHV) in California. XB-1 is the first civilian supersonic jet independently designed, developed, and built in America. Boom Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg entered the historic and recently renamed Bell X-1 Supersonic Corridor at 8:22 a.m. local time on January 28, 2025, at an altitude of 35,290 feet MSL and accelerated to Mach 1.122. For some odd reason, the U.S. Air Force decided that the removal of videos of Tuskegee Airmen and WASPS from its curriculum was required by the military DEI ban announced by President Trump. Newly confirmed U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wrote in response, “We’re all over it Senato

Airborne 01.31.25: DCA MidAir, Asteroid Samples, F-35A Accident

Also: Firefighting TBM 960s, JetBlue Pilots, Boeing’s Annual Losses, Japan Chooses Beechcraft T-6

A chilly Wednesday night was tragically interrupted as an approaching CRJ 701ER was involved in a collision off the end of DCA Rwy 33 shortly before 2100ET. Social media showed video, apparently pulled from the webcam at the Kennedy Center, of the actual collision. The CRJ, AA5342, N709PS, was on short approach when the accident  occurred, with the last trace showing it terminating its flightpath mid-river. The American Airlines flight was a PSA Airlines operation conducted as American Eagle. Samples returned to Earth from asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft probe have been studied and have revealed the presence of molecules that here are key to life. In addition, they showed a history of saltwater that potentially could serve as a bro
