The Tech That Keeps Planes Flying for Ultra-Long-Haul Flights

wired.com Mitch Moxley 2025-12-07 18:00:00

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the maiden flight of the Airbus A380, the double-decker, wide-body aircraft that remains the largest passenger plane ever built. At 10:30 am local time on April 27, 2005, the giant, four-engine aircraft lifted off from the airport in Blagnac, a suburb of Toulouse in southern France, and did a quick loop of the area, staying within about 100 miles of the tarmac. When it took its first commercial flight six months later, the A380—which typically seats more t

Weather Model based on ADS-B

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-10 22:14:56

I recently bought an RTL-SDR dongle and an antenna to receive ADS-B messages. These are short packets of data, broadcast by every plane in the sky, to inform others of their position, heading, speed and other flight data. The transmission of these messages is mandatory for aircraft, as it prevents mid-air accidents. They are also unencrypted, which means anyone can listen to them. All you need is an antenna and a dongle to ingest the data on your PC (pictured above), which can be bought for les

Joby Aviation and defense contractor L3Harris to test autonomous hybrid aircraft

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2025-12-15 23:00:00

Joby Aviation is often cast as a developer of commercial electric air taxis, but the publicly traded company has also pursued a separate track to market through a long-standing relationship with the U.S. Department of Defense. Now, its years of research and development with the Department of Defense may be paying off. The company on Thursday said it had signed an agreement with defense contractor L3Harris Technologies to “explore opportunities” to develop a new aircraft class — specifically, a

AIR lands $23M to bring its eVTOLs to the US

techcrunch.com Kate Park 2025-12-21 03:15:00

The combined forces of escalating geopolitical tensions and rising defense budgets are spurring many electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) makers to take a two-pronged approach to building their aircraft: crewed vehicles for personal or commercial taxi use, and uncrewed vehicles meant for logistics and defense purposes. AIR, an Israel-based startup developing eVTOLs, thought it prudent to adopt a similar approach from the get-go, designing both its uncrewed and piloted aircraft with the

Personal aviation is about to get interesting (2023)

Aviation is a poster child for economic stagnation. Yes, airline travel has gotten cheaper and safer—great. But every other aspect of aviation has struggled or even regressed. As I’ve noted many times, we had supersonic travel across the Atlantic from 1976 to 2003. Today, not even the world’s richest travelers can fly that fast. Another part of aviation that has suffered over the last half-century is general aviation, particularly its low-end segment, personal aviation, in which people fly them

We already knew that Nintendo got off to a strong start with the Switch 2’s launch, and now that the console has been out for a bit, we’re getting a clearer picture on exactly how it performed. According to market research firm Circana, Nintendo’s new console “debuted as the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history,” selling 1.6 million units in June. That topped the previous launch month record held by the PS4, which moved 1.1 million units in November of 2023. Unsurprisingly,
