Airplanes
A plane landed in Colorado without human assistance in a historic first thanks to Garmin. When pilots lost pressurization, an onboard automated safety system took over the entire operation. The successful landing was a major milestone for real-world autonomous aviation tech and for pilots when they suffer emergencies. It could have been a disaster, but […]
Concorde could fly at twice the speed of sound
It won’t be cheap, but it’s certainly novel
What an achievement this was
We’d take this over a mini-bar any day
Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has successfully completed its first autonomous test flight with its Wisk Gen 6 aircraft. The Gen 6 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, aka eVTOL, took to the runway at the company’s test facility in California and wowed bosses by performing a vertical takeoff and several flight maneuvers.

His Airness himself, Michael Jordan, is best known for getting airborne on the court – but not even he can dunk over the Atlantic, which is why he purchased a Gulfstream G650ER private jet. However, despite having just slam-dunked a whopping $70,000,000, he then got creative with its livery. The PJ features rocket-powered take-off potential […]
The Airbus A380s touched down at a soaking wet London Heathrow
It’s a fun game of spot the difference
Boeing and Airbus are two of the most famous airplane manufacturers in the world, and they both had to tackle thick fog on the way into Heathrow Airport. Captured by plane enthusiast Topfelya, various aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus looked as if they were deploying cloaking devices upon landing on the tarmac. The thick […]
The pilot of a Pitts Special S2S aerobatic aircraft defied gravity by flying the airplane like it was a helicopter. YouTube footage from Topfelya showed the aircraft flown by Richard Goowdwin at the Dunsfold Wing and Wheels airshow in 2018. Goodwin flew the aircraft sideways, spun it around mid-air, and performed incredible rolls and loops. […]
