Cool: Airbus A400M Flies 22 Hours Non-Stop With Aerial Refueling

The Royal Air Force's Airbus A400M Atlas completed a unique mission, flying nonstop from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire to Guam, traveling 22 hours and over 7,000 miles. This was made possible by the support of two Airbus A330MRTT Voyagers, which provided aerial refueling thrice during the ultra-long-haul journey. The flight is now the longest on record by the A400M and is part of the RAF's Pacific air exercises.

Aviation Coalition Urges Caution on DOT Part 380 Air Carrier Changes

In letters written by NBAA, the National Air Transportation Association, and Helicopter Association International—among others, the organizations stressed that a Part 380 application "has been misused by economic competitors that, with no evidence of safety and security concerns, seeks to prevent Part 135 operators from conducting public charter [Part 380] flights. Their unsubstantiated claims do a disservice to this well-established regulatory framework and the safe, secure transportation services its operators provide to the traveling public."

New technology hub to accelerate next generation Airbus wings | Airbus

Wing of Tomorrow Demonstrators

The three 17metre full scale wings demonstrators include:

  • Static wing demonstrator - used to test structural capabilities of new designs and materials and to validate our analysis.

  • Fully-equipped demonstrator - used to test installation technologies and novel approaches to equipping the next generation of wings with systems. 

  • Run@rate demonstrator - will test industrial capability and automation technologies to assess how we can build wings at the scale and speed we need to.

Folding wingtip technology

Airbus' folding wingtip technology looks at increasing the span of the wing to increase lift, reduce drag and to improve fuel efficiency without the need to alter existing airport infrastructure.
