Couldn't stop thinking about how a 747 would look with its cockpit pushed back to the tail like a 1930s race plane so I got out of bed to 'shop it up

Yesterday, a UK Government Army specialist team parachuted onto Tristan da Cunha — one of the most remote islands in the world — to deliver critical medical support after it was confirmed that a person on the island was suspected of contracting hantavirus.

We tracked the Airbus A400M Atlas operating the flight to and from Ascension Island using satellite data.

A huge showing for science and exploration yesterday — 18 flights involved in the recovery of the Artemis II crew each received more than 100,000 follows on Flightradar24. Those 18 flights combined for a total 5,878,161 follows. The WB-57 was followed 1.2M times!

Hello, Earth.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Did you send your name aboard Artemis II???

If you did, then your name is literally in my pocket!! And every time you see me floating around the Orion spacecraft — that’s where your name is! With ME!

Don’t worry — I’ve kept your names safe as I’ve flown around the Moon 🫡 -Rise

Big win for Airbus ✈️
Atlas Air Worldwide orders 20 Airbus A350F freighters, becoming the largest customer and first US operator of the type 🇺🇸
A major boost for the A350F programme as cargo demand shifts toward more fuel-efficient, next-gen aircraft.

London to Hong Kong once took a week. Tonight we’ll do it while most people sleep.

This evening I’ll push the A350 away from Heathrow and point it toward Hong Kong one last time for a while before my flying turns westward next month.

It’s easy now to forget just how extraordinary this route really is.

Tonight we’ll cross half the planet in a single sweep: Europe, Central Asia, and on toward the South China Sea. Even with modern geopolitics bending our track around closed airspace and conflict zones, the journey is still measured in hours.

But when this route first opened in the 1930s, London to Hong Kong wasn’t a flight.

It was an expedition.

The old Imperial Airways flying boats crept east in stages, London to the Mediterranean, on through the Middle East, across India, then down through Southeast Asia. Passengers slept in hotels between sectors while aircraft were refuelled and prepared for the next leg.

What we now fly overnight once took a week or more.

The geography hasn’t changed, deserts, mountains and oceans still lie between Europe and Asia, but the scale of human possibility has.

What once required patience and persistence now requires only a long night and the quiet reliability of a modern aircraft.

One more crossing of this remarkable corridor before my compass swings west for a while.

Different destinations ahead.
Same sky above.

The A350-900ULR can fly close to 18,000 km (11,200 miles) nonstop. This makes ultra-long-haul routes like Singapore–New York possible, with flight times approaching 19 hours — pushing both aircraft and human endurance.

Despite how it feels, turbulence alone has never brought down a modern commercial airliner. Injuries usually occur when passengers aren’t wearing seatbelts, not because the aircraft is in danger.

At Gibraltar Airport, the main runway crosses the territory’s busiest road. Every takeoff or landing requires traffic lights to stop cars and pedestrians. The runway itself is just 1,829 meters long, adding another layer of challenge for pilots.

Launched in the early 1990s, the Boeing 777 was the first commercial aircraft fully designed using computer-aided design (CAD). It entered service in 1995 and went on to become one of the most successful widebody aircraft ever built.

Las bobinas metálicas son un producto que los camioneros odian llevar por su peligrosidad y peso. Y en aviación no es distinto. Una de estas bobinas puede, fácilmente, superar las 20 toneladas de peso y están presentadas en un formato difícilmente anclable, por lo que hay que asegurarse como sea de que no se van a mover en la bodega de carga. Un deslizamiento de semejante peso podría ser fatal.
