Hybrid balloon/glider designed to wing its way through Titan's atmosphere [feedly]

With a suspected subterranean sea of liquid water, oceans of methane on the surface and an atmosphere that could give rise to non-water-based life, it's no surprise that scientists are keen to learn more about Saturn's moon Titan. To that end, a new joint project between the Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC) and Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems (NGAS) is developing a new exploration vehicle designed to soar through the skies of that mysterious moon.

Boeing considers developing medium haul airliner



US-based aircraft manufacturer Boeing has been reported to be in talks with potential customers over a new medium-haul airplane, that would seat up to 270 passengers and conduct flights between 3000 and 5,000 nautical miles.

According to Boeing estimates, there is a demand in the midrange aircraft market between 4,000 - 5,000 airplanes. The new medium-haul jet would fill in the gap between short to medium-range single-aisle 737 and the newly introduced long-range 787 Dreamliner. Like the former, the new aircraft would have carbon fiber composite wings. read full text: http://www.aerotime.aero/en/civil/12654-boeing-considers-developing-medium-haul-airliner

Lack of customers leads the Airbus A380 program into the unknown



http://www.aerotime.aero/en/civil/12728-lack-of-customers-leads-the-airbus-a380-program-into-the-unknown




The four-engined A380 has been difficult to sell because of its high fuel consumption and bad program start timing. When the world was hit by economic crisis in 2008, increased oil prices discouraged carriers to invest in the aircraft that can seat between 489 and 615 travelers. Aviation experts claim, that Airbus may not recoup its initial €25 billion investment and, if the production rate of the A380 aircraft falls bellow 30 airliners per year, the company may even have to shut down the program.
