Boeing shares fell nearly 7% after the news broke, dragging down the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

New evidence indicates that Boeing pilots knew about "egregious" problems with the 737 Max airplane three years ago, but federal regulators were not told about them. Investigators say the plane's new flight control system, called MCAS, is at least partially to blame for 737 Max crashes in Indonesia in 2018 and Ethiopia this year that killed 346 people. Acting on data from a single, faulty angle-of-attack sensor, MCAS repeatedly forced both planes into nosedives as the pilots struggled, but failed to regain control.

China has been unveiling a lot of new weaponry lately, but one of their latest reveals looks really, well, out of this world.

Flight times from London to Sydney could be 80% shorter by the 2030s, should a hypersonic rocket engine being developed in the UK get off the ground.

A pilot project at Rotterdam airport plans to capture CO2 from the air and turn it into jet fuel.

The FAA has granted a Part 135 certification for the logistics giant's drone business, propelling the little fliers closer to a commercial future.

The findings put pressure on airline regulators to take stronger action to fight climate change as they prepare for a summit next week.

The financial assistance fund Boeing set up after the crashes has started accepting claims.

Greta Thunberg’s zero-carbon Atlantic crossing is not an option for most. But it might be in years to come, if experiments with hydrogen, solar and batteries pay off

The promise of flying cars has become an idea more synonymous with the tech world’s shortcomings than its exciting potential, but today one of the startups that has been focused on actually trying to make small, airborne vehicles a reality is announcing a fundraise and says it’s on track for a commercial launch in two to three years.

It can carry up to 1,631 pounds of supplies to the battlefield.

When filming this race, 500 feet is considered high altitude.

Patch your darn metal bird, sighs EU aviation agency

It’s the largest zero-emissions plane to ever fly without any fossil fuels.

It’s a race to the skies in terms of which company actually deploys an on-demand air taxi service based around electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. For its part, German startup Volocopter is taking another key step with the revelation of its first aircraft designed for actual commercial use, the VoloCity. The VoloCity is the fourth-generation eVTOL vehicle that Volocopter has created, but the first three were created for testing and demonstration purposes, and have flown more than 1,000 times in service of that goal.

When things go terribly wrong in a military aircraft, the pilot’s last resort is the equipment they're sitting on: the ejection seat. And it cannot fail, ever.

The X-29, an experimental plane flown by NASA in the 1980s, sports one of the most unusual designs in the history of aviation.

Passerine's fixed-wing drones can take off (and land) using a pair of legs.

Investigators never figured out precisely why the pilot abruptly sent the Colgan Air turboprop into a fatal dive 10 years ago as it neared Buffalo, N.Y. But they did learn enough from the Feb. 12, 2009, crash, which killed 50 people, to make it one of the most important milestones in the history of aviation safety, leading to changes in everything from pilot training to managing fatigue.

The A380 was hailed as the future of air travel. How did Airbus get it so wrong?
