For centuries, paper airplanes have unlocked the science of flight—now they could inspire drone technology.

The bottom line is air travel is very safe – much safer than road travel. But that doesn’t stop us from wondering…

Between cancellations, delays and lost luggage, airline passengers aren't shy about sharing their "travel nightmares". But these misfortunes pale against the ordeal of the pilot who got sucked through the windscreen of BA5390.

A study of children living near one such airport in US finds those within 1.5 kilometers are at highest risk

After years of on-the-ground development, Eviation’s all-electric Alice airplane quietly took to the air here this morning for its first test flight. Test pilot Steve Crane guided the nine-passenger aircraft, powered by two 640-kilowatt electric motors, through its takeoff from Grant County International Airport in Moses Lake, a facility in Eastern Washington’s high desert that’s often used for testing innovations in aviation.

Deliveries of Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner will likely remain halted until at least late October as the plane maker has been unable to persuade air-safety regulators to approve its proposal to inspect the aircraft, people familiar with the matter said.

Jet-age glamour was more than just aesthetic: its promise of motionless movement reshaped perception of time and space

Boeing agreed to pay more than $2.5 billion to settle criminal conspiracy charges relating to its 737 Max planes after two deadly crashes.

A private rocket-launch startup unveiled its fully autonomous drone designed to drop a rocket in midair that shoots small satellites into orbit without a launchpad. Alabama-based company Aevum rolled out its Ravn X Autonomous Launch Vehicle at the Cecil SpacePort launch facility in Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday.

Otto Aviation claims its odd-looking Celera 500L "bullet plane" is "the biggest thing to happen to the aviation and travel industries in 50 years," and that its extreme fuel economy could make private flights as affordable as regular commercial air travel.

"It's a giant leap," said DARPA's Justin (call sign "Glock") Mock.

Airbus’ new eVTOL just took to the skies for the first time in public during a demonstration flight for a German politician. CityAirbus, as the electric aircraft is called, is part of Airbus’ vision for “flying taxi” aircraft and currently being developed by the manufacturer’s helicopter division. The remotely piloted aircraft first flew independently in December, according to Aviation Today, but the July 20 demonstration flight for Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder saw CityAirborne go airborne for the first time in front of public officials and the media, eVTOL.com reported.

Airbus finished the tests in June after its first autonomous take-off in December, paving the way for pilot-less passenger flights in the future.

In the early 1950s, a young lieutenant realized the fatal flaw in the cockpit design of U.S. air force jets.

In December of 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made history with their bi-plane contraption that managed to do the seemingly impossible: it gave man the ability to fly. The concept was so unearthly, in fact, that private aviation first took off not as a means of transportation, but as a sideshow of sorts. In those pioneer days, seeing a man use technology to overcome gravity was such a novelty that early aviators made their living mostly through exhibition flights.

Airbus on Tuesday unveiled a curvaceous aircraft design.

Low visibility due to clouds and fog and rugged, rising terrain have killed many helicopter pilots in similar conditions over the years.

The US regulator for airline safety has said he is "pleased" with progress made by Boeing as it works to get its 737 Max plane re-approved for flight. The aircraft has been grounded since March 2019, following two fatal crashes that killed 346 people. Boeing recently said the jet might not return to service until mid-2020.

Nearly one month ago, Boeing completed the first orbital test flight of its Starliner spacecraft with a near-perfect landing at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. The mission had to be cut short due to a well-publicized timing error that delayed the spacecraft's service module from performing an orbital insertion burn. This caused the thrusters on board the service module, which provides power to Starliner during most of its mission, to fire longer than expected.

Boeing’s spacecraft Starliner, developed to fly astronauts, failed to achieve the goal of its critical flight test for NASA, which launched to space on Friday. Starliner was supposed to fly to the International Space Station (ISS), deliver cargo, and return safely – to demonstrate its capabilities and safety. But the spacecraft will not dock with the space station after its autonomous flight control system misfired shortly after the launch, putting Starliner in the wrong orbit.
