“We can think of no place better to bring the Me 262 reproduction than to Oshkosh, because of the great appreciation EAA members and attendees have for historic aircraft. We all know the story with old airplanes, however – they have their own schedules regardless of what plans we might set. We’re investing in this project to make it happen, so any result won’t be for lack of trying.”
Source: Keegan Chetwynd, the Military Aviation Museum’s director and CEO -- For the first time in living memory, an Me-262 is coming to EAA AirVenture, giving audiences an exceedingly rare chance to see the world’s first operational jet fighter with their own eyes.

Cessna’s long-running Skyhawk now features a solid-state dual electronic ignition system in all new production aircraft, reducing maintenance costs, improving efficiency, and adding another touch of polish for the type’s 70th anniversary. A dual Lycoming electronic ignition system is now standard on all new Cessna Skyhawk aircraft regardless of trim. It replaces the older dual magneto ignition system, reducing the number of moving parts and simplifying electrics for longer maintenance intervals, more even fuel burn, and even a touch of increased performance.

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. Bell Helicopter has been down-selected for Phase 2 of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s SPRINT X-Plane program. This is a positive turn of DARPA phrase that indicates Bell 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, and hopefully snag some plush contracts along the way. China’s space program took a bold step forward as two of its satellites in geosynchronous orbi

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
