United Airlines is making a significant move to reclaim its position as a leader in international luxury with a bold new configuration for its Boeing 787-9 fleet. This premium-heavy layout is designed specifically for the world’s most lucrative long-haul corridors, where the demand for high-end space often beats the supply.

When a Widebody aircraft completes its final commercial flight, it rarely reaches the end of its story the moment the passengers leave the cabin. While the aircraft may no longer generate revenue carrying people and cargo across the world, it still represents a valuable collection of certified components, recyclable materials, and engineering assets that can […]

Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation has celebrated a major milestone, with the first serial production standard example of the forthcoming Yakovlev MC-21 having taken its first test flight earlier today. Much like China’s COMAC C919, the MC-21 is designed to compete with major narrowbody twinjets like those in the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo families. […]

A fighter jet’s engine is a critical part of the aircraft and its capability. For most past competitions, aircraft manufacturers pitched their demonstrators powered by an engine that they selected.

Air cargo has long relied on the factory-built Boeing 747-400F for the immense quantity of outsized cargo that is shipped all over the world every day. As major cargo carriers begin retiring aging four-engine freighters throughout the late 2020s and early 2030s, the aviation industry faces an unprecedented capability gap. Next-generation widebody freighters like the […]

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II represent two very different eras and philosophies of fighter aircraft design. Introduced in the 1970s, the F-15 was built to achieve absolute air superiority through speed, power, and maneuverability. Over nearly five decades of service, the aircraft has built an extraordinary combat record, […]

Like other aviation sectors, the military aviation sector has its fair share of fads and buzzwords, many of which are often not well understood by the general audience, reporters, or sometimes military acquisition personnel themselves.
