The newly certified synthetic vision guidance system (SVGS) for the Embraer Praetor 500/600 allows crews to shoot approaches to 150-foot decision heights, 50 feet lower than the standard decision height and thus increasing operational efficiency. SVGS is available for new-production Praetors, as well as a retrofit for the Legacy 450/500 and Praetor 500/600. (Photo: Embraer)

Today, Airbus has revealed three concepts for the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft which could enter service by 2035. All of these concepts rely on hydrogen as a primary power source – an option which Airbus believes holds exceptional promise as a clean aviation fuel and is likely to be a solution for aerospace and many other industries to meet their climate-neutral targets.
A “blended-wing body” design (up to 200 passengers) concept in which the wings merge with the main body of the aircraft with a range similar to that of the turbofan concept. The exceptionally wide fuselage opens up multiple options for hydrogen storage and distribution, and for cabin layout.

A turbofan design (120-200 passengers) with a range of 2,000+ nautical miles, capable of operating transcontinental flights and powered by a modified gas-turbine engine running on hydrogen, rather than jet fuel, through combustion. The liquid hydrogen will be stored and distributed via tanks located behind the rear pressure bulkhead.

A turboprop design (up to 100 passengers) using a turboprop engine instead of a turbofan and also powered by hydrogen combustion in modified gas-turbine engines, which would be capable of traveling more than 1,000 nautical miles, making it a perfect option for short-haul trips.

The largest helicopter but became useless 😯

The largest helicopter ever built was an engineering triumph, but a failure in practice. The Soviet Union built the V-12, known to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as the “Homer,” to airlift intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) into place, avoiding telltale railroad networks that would alert U.S. intelligence.

The V-12 wasn't the first twin-rotor helicopter but it probably was the first side-by-side rotor helicopter. The chopper, which was longer than a Boeing 737 and carried more people, used the rotors and engines of two smaller Mi-6 helicopters to achieve twice the lift capacity.

The helicopter could carry 196 passengers, or up to 88,000 pounds of cargo. The cargo box was 93.5 feet long and 14.4 feet wide tall and wide, making it big enough to carry city buses with ease. The helicopter was so large that it had a crew of six, including its own electrician.

Apple Camping is a holiday rental where guests can sleep in the body of an Airbus A319.

Toby Rhys Davies saved Etihad plane’s body from a scrap yard last year, spending the next several months transforming it into something people could sleep in without worrying about roaring engines, turbulence, gurgling chemical toilets, strange smells from steaming trays of reheated, watery penne pasta, or a chorus of crying babies.

According to Travel + Leisure, the 27-year-old Airbus was first owned by Air Canada, then Air Malta. Etihad bought the plane in 2003, before retiring it in 2018 and sending it to the scrapyard, where it was claimed by Apple Camping’s Davies.

In the five and a half years since the A350 started flying commercially, the plane has proved a hit with passengers and airlines alike. Airbus has taken orders for 930 A350 aircraft, the vast majority being for the popular A350-900 model. To date, Airbus has delivered 372 of its A350s to 30 odd airlines around the world. Here, we’ll take a dive into who’s flying one of this generation’s best planes.

And down here are the Airlines who are recently operating Airbus A350-900XWB in Asia!

Airbus redesigned a key part of the A350 jet cockpit after spilled drinks caused two midair engine shutdowns 😮

After spilled drinks caused a pair of midair engine shutdowns, Airbus has redesigned a crucial cockpit system in its flagship A350 wide-body jet: It has made the center control panel, which sits below a console that pilots often use as a makeshift table, liquid-resistant.

The redesign came after two incidents in which an engine unexpectedly shut down in the middle of a flight, after drinks were spilled onto that control panel.

The Wright brothers inaugurated the aerial age with the world's first successful flights of a powered heavier-than-air flying machine. The Wright Flyer was the product of a sophisticated four-year program of research and development conducted by Wilbur and Orville Wright beginning in 1899. After building and testing three full-sized gliders, the Wrights' first powered airplane flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, making a 12-second flight, traveling 36 m (120 ft), with Orville piloting. The best flight of the day, with Wilbur at the controls, covered 255.6 m (852 ft) in 59 seconds.
