Recline or don’t recline – it’s your call. But remember: the greed of airlines in shrinking space to reap profits makes them the true villains

The government can't keep its story straight about its involvement with UFOs. After a yearlong investigation, we reveal the staggering truth.

Airbus on Tuesday unveiled a curvaceous aircraft design.

The BA Boeing 747-436 reached speeds of 825 mph in the jet stream accelerated by Storm Ciara.

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.

With dozens of invoices attached to a single flight, overcharging can slip through unnoticed.

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.

Only now, with the plane indefinitely grounded, are we beginning to see the scale of its effects. 

The future of war.

For some farmers in New Zealand, Britain and Australia, drones are not just a toy – they’re an increasingly vital tool

Employees bragged about getting approval for the jets without having to give pilots much new training. One employee says, "This airplane is designed by clowns who ... are supervised by monkeys."

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

Boeing is working to fix yet another software bug on its 737 Max, Bloomberg reports. The glitch involves an indicator light for the "stabilizer trim system," which helps raise and lower the plane's nose. The light was turning on when it wasn't supposed to. Boeing is already resolving the problem, and it still expects the 737 Max to resume flying by mid-2020.

I have been a pilot for 30 years, a software developer for more than 40. I have written extensively about both aviation and software engineering. Now it’s time for me to write about both together. The Boeing 737 Max has been in the news because of two crashes, practically back to back and involving brand new airplanes. In an industry that relies more than anything on the appearance of total control, total safety, these two crashes pose as close to an existential risk as you can get.

A conversation between a passenger and an airline has gone viral, largely because people find it intensely creepy. MacKenzie Fegan went to the airport last

Our very attempts to stave off disaster make unpredictable outcomes more likely.

Weeks after the first fatal crash of the 737 Max, pilots from American Airlines pressed Boeing executives to work urgently on a fix. In a closed-door meeting, they even argued that Boeing should push authorities to take an emergency measure that would likely result in the grounding of the Max. The Boeing executives resisted. They didn’t want to rush out a fix, and said they expected pilots to be able to handle problems.

Navy F-18 fighter jets have encountered Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon — once commonly referred to as UFOs — off the East Coast of the United States.

The US Air Force hopes that the XQ58-A Valkyrie drone wingman might someday accompany the F-35 and a new version of the F-15 fighter jet, according to Defense News. The aircraft is designed to fill a role known as “loyal wingman” — imagined as a low-cost platform that would be controlled by a parent aircraft to accomplish a variety of tasks, such as flying ahead to scout out terrain, or absorb enemy fire in the event that they’re attacked.
