Tweet Picks:

@AviationWeek Groundings and wing-to-wing turnaround times (TATs) of Pratt & Whitney PW1000G geared turbofans that require inspections for parts at risk of having contaminated material remain consistent with company projections, RTX CEO Chris Calio said.

@boomaero Research indicates 87% of international passengers would switch from their preferred airline (i.e., give up their miles) to access supersonic flight. Apparently, the other 13% really love their in-flight movie marathons. Thanks @united for sharing our vision for a world where flying goes faster!.

@ByERussell .@FlyFrontier has raised its adjusted pre-tax margin guidance for 3Q24 by 3.5pts due to better than expected revenue in the quarter. $ULCC.

@ByERussell .@heartaerospace has rolled out its first hybrid-electric ES-30 demonstrator, called the X1. It will be used for ground-based testing with a first flight target of Q2 2025.  Gotta say, that’s a good looking plane.
