ICON Aircraft has successfully completed the sale of essentially all its assets to investment banking group SG Investment America (which apparently/ultimately is derived from Chinese ownership), who will continue to operate the company (for now) under the name ICON Aircraft.
Joby Aviation announced the third production prototype aircraft has been completed on the production line in Marina, California. A fourth aircraft is expected to be finished in the coming weeks and its flight testing is expected to begin during Q4 of this year. After about two months of delays, space enthusiasts have begun wondering just how functional the Boeing Starliner is, after apparently stranding Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on the ISS. Initially, the problematic Starliner was slated for a quick 'out-n-back' mission that would serve as its official entry into crewed launches, taking Wilmore and Williams to the ISS and back. By now, it's looking more and more likely that Wilmore and Williams will have to come back home aboard ol' reliable, the SpaceX Crew Dragon. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
