An unmanned U.S. military space plane has landed after spending a record 908 days in orbit for its sixth mission and conducting science experiments

Being emotionally intelligent may be important for a teacher, salesman, or therapist, but what about for a pilot? A study published in Nature’s Scientific Reports suggests that pilots are less likely to be emotionally intelligent compared to the average person.

The agreement steps up the e-commerce giant’s growing rivalry with United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp.

Complaints about altimeter failures jumped after consumer C-band deployment

The airplane that many called “the flying barrel” is also widely considered the ugliest plane ever built.

The agency says it was a mistake, but how did this flying saucer logo get uploaded in the first place?

An astonishing new plane could cut the time of transatlantic flights by more than five times, claims Spanish designer Oscar Viñals. The latest in a series of futuristic designs going viral, Oscar’s images show a super streamlined jet – dubbed the Hyper Sting – soaring through the sky, transporting travellers from place to place in record time.

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.

Aviation giants Airbus and Qatar have been at odds for over a year after the carrier grounded over 20 A350 jets due to airworthiness concerns.

Carrier is investing $15 million in a maker of electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles.

Within just two years, the U.K. could be home to the planet's biggest drone superhighway thanks to the plans of a group of technology companies. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's just one of a number of projects in the pipeline as part of the U.K. government's drone ambition statement announced recently.

Previously, United Airlines also placed an order with Boom.

While the Samson Sky didn’t meet its ambitious goal of delivering a three-wheeled flying car by spring of 2017, the project recently achieved a major milestone. After 14 years of development, The Hill reports that the so-called Switchblade is finally ready for takeoff after a Federal Aviation Administration inspection determined it’s safe to fly. Samson Sky CEO Sam Bousfield and his team have already begun high-speed taxiing testing ahead of the first flight, which is expected to happen in a matter of weeks.

Boeing disclosed a charge of $93 million in the second quarter for its Starliner astronaut capsule program, bringing the program’s overrun costs to nearly $700 million.

Maverick’s next wingman could be a drone. In the movies, fighter pilots are depicted as highly trained military aviators with the skills and experience to defeat adversaries in thrilling aerial dogfights.

Airbus and Boeing have competed neck and neck for five decades in one of the world’s great commercial rivalries. But, as the contest resumes in earnest in the wake of the pandemic, the old order has changed. Airbus now has a wide lead in the single-aisle market — the hottest area of aviation — leaving Boeing to grapple with how to bridge the gap.

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has suggested it could pull the latest model of its 737 MAX, currently in the process of getting its certification, unless it is made exempt from certain safety regulations which come into force in 2023.

The huge success of the Mars helicopter Ingenuity has proven it’s possible to explore other planets from the air, and researchers are working on a variety of flying craft concepts for future planetary missions. To fill in our knowledge of Mars between rovers on the surface and orbiters in space, researchers from the University of Arizona have proposed an experimental sailplane that operates without a motor and that could sail through the Martian air for days at a time.

Nasa is nearing the first test flight of an experimental aircraft that could make general aviation greener, cleaner, and quieter.

In 2016, a bizarre-looking plane, covered with more than 17,000 solar panels, showed the world a glimpse of the future of flight. With the wingspan of a Boeing 747, but weighing only as much as an SUV, it circumnavigated the Earth without using a drop of fuel.
