A single-engine turboprop flew from California to the Atlantic this month, taxied itself, took itself off, found its own way around thunderstorms, slotted into one of the busiest general aviation airports in America without ever having been there, and landed on the...

Two Bayraktar TB2s, three ASELSAN pods, one coordinated scenario over Konya: detect the radar, jam it, then image the target area with synthetic aperture radar.
An emissions standard would have stopped 777F deliveries dead on 1 January 2028. The FAA has let 35 more aircraft through, because the replacement is late.
Chesley Sullenberger has spent the seventeen years since the Hudson being careful about one thing above all: refusing to let the story be about him alone. He has pushed it back towards the crew, the cabin staff, the ferry captains, the training, the system. He is now...
