@jonostrower United Airlines’ Boeing deal in December single-handedly caused a 5.6% increase in durable goods in the U.S. economy last month, according to the Commerce Department.
@jonostrower Boeing CEO David Calhoun called NASA’s Sustainable Flight Demonstrator and its potential to cut fuel consumption by 30% as part of establishing “the standards that are required to launch a new airplane.”
@jobyaviation The first aircraft to be produced on our pilot manufacturing line in Marina, CA, heads into our large autoclave to be cured at a precise temperature and pressure. This process hardens the composite structure into a material with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
@RegionalGateway “Airports account for small percentage of overall aviation #emissions but offers an area where earlier #decarbonisation ahead of 2050 is possible.” David Silk, @transportgovuk Director of #aviation and #airports at @AOA_UK Conference 2023. #AOAConf23x #Sustainability.
@777Mammoth Mammoth Freighters is pleased to announce our 777-300ER conformity airplane has been inducted and will commence initial preparations for flight testing and conversion. This aircraft will be the first of six conversions headed to our launch customer, AviaAM Leasing.
