Boeing needs "real honest-to-God product development:" ex-CEO - Leeham News and Analysis
"I've got to be really careful," Condit replied, choosing his words carefully. "I've been retired for almost two decades. I think there are some things that I have heard and observed that I agree with, like SAF as a place to go, is one of those. I think it's important for Boeing to do some real honest-to-God important development because over time you lose skill. If you don't do things, you lose your capability to do them. It's important that skills get exercised."

[Spain] Implementation of independent parallel operations in LEMD
The approaches to the 4 arrival runways (32R and 32L in North Configuration or 18R and 18L in South Configuration) of the MADRID/Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (LEMD/MAD), are currently performed following Dependent Parallel Approaches procedures in force since 2006.
In order to improve the system's efficiency, in compliance with EU Regulation 2017/373, and specifically with Section ATS.TR.255 ("Operations on parallel or near-parallel runways"), there is a project to introduce independent parallel approaches procedures at MADRID/Adolfo Suárez MadridBarajas airport (LEMD) with East and West approach sectors and an NTZ between the two localizers.
This mode of operation will be the standard mode for routine operations. The entry into service date will be the first quarter of 2023.
These main benefits of this project are: - Increase of safety levels and optimization of operational procedures due to path predictability (STAR RNAV1) and reduced use of vectors to intercept the final approach course or track, thus leading to a reduced workload and burden of communications for pilots and the ATC service. - Based on the above, an increase of capacity and efficiency of MADRID/Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport in the mid-term.

Deadly Ukraine strike reveals Russian tech weakness
Russia has blamed the deaths of scores of its soldiers in a New Year missile strike on its troops using unsecured, traceable mobile phones on the battlefield.

New heat-free plant press yields biofuel and antivirals
Before plant material can be turned into biofuel to power things like giant jets and speedy motorcycles, a significant amount of moisture must be removed from it, which often requires both mechanical pressing and thermal drying. Researchers from Japan have figured out a way to eliminate the thermal part of the process, leading to the extraction of water-soluable antiviral compounds from cedar and ginger while turning the plants into clean, efficient fuels.
