Thousands of Airbus A320 airliners around the world might... require a software update, potentially causing flight delays or cancellations during the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Airbus identified an apparent issue relating to "intense solar radiation," which "may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls" and recommended an emergency software update to the A320 family of aircraft – a common passenger plane for U.S. carriers. This emergency update stems from an incident Oct. 30 when a JetBlue flight traveling from Cancun, Mexico, to Newark, New Jersey, experienced an issue with its flight controls. The plane dropped about 100 feet in seven seconds, according to preliminary flight data from Flightradar24, and was diverted to Tampa, Florida.show more

Southwest Airlines has confirmed that one of its flights... was forced to take evasive action to avoid colliding with another flight at Nashville International Airport over the weekend. Southwest reports that while approaching BNA amid gusty wind conditions, pilots of Southwest Flight 507 executed a precautionary go-around. During that action, the pilots used instructions from air traffic control and an onboard traffic alert to avoid conflicting with Southwest Flight 1152, which was departing from another runway. Flight 507 was able to land after the go-around and Flight 1152 continued to its destination in Knoxville. “We are engaged with the FAA as part of the investigation. Southwest appreciates the professionalism of its Pilots and Flight Crews in responding to the event. Nothing is more important to Southwest than the Safety of our Customers and Employees,” the airline said in a statement. Video: Flightradar24show more

🚨🇺🇸 STARSHIP COMPLETES FULL-DURATION STATIC FIRE AHEAD OF FLIGHT... TEST 10 SpaceX just lit up Starship for a full-duration static fire, this is essential before launch.

Docking? ✅ Our Blue Docking System team successfully completed... soft capture system testing at @NASA_Johnson's Six-Degree-Of-Freedom Dynamic Test facility. This test completes a key milestone on our Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) contract. The fully vertically integrated system will fly first on our Blue Moon MK2 Lunar Lander, then on Orbital Reef and future vehicles. This marks the first time we have confirmed the performance of our pressurized docking system in flight-like scenarios, meeting International Docking System Standard requirements.show more

Fresh livery. New look. The same legendary A380, completely... reimagined to test the #futureofflight. Aerospace #innovation requires meticulous preparation. Behind the scenes, we are making incredible progress as we prepare to flight-test a new engine. Developed by joining forces with CFM International, this propulsion system is designed to change the game for the performance and fuel efficiency of our next-generation single-aisle aircraft. To test this technology safely, we are using the A380. With its four-engine configuration and immense cabin space for advanced test instrumentation, it is ideal for testing tomorrow's technology in real flight conditions. Seeing the #A380 roll out in its new colours is an incredibly rewarding milestone for everyone across our teams as we work towards making the skies of tomorrow more efficient. See how we’re testing tomorrow's #propulsion systems ➡️ #FIA2026show more

Huey Crashes During Flight Test On December 2, 1977,... a U.S. Army UH-1H Huey crashed while attempting an autorotation landing during flight testing of the experimental MULTEWS (Multiple Target Electronic Warfare System) at Edwards Air Force Base. The externally mounted MULTEWS significantly degraded the helicopter's performance and handling, leading to the termination of the flight test program. Both pilots suffered broken backs but recovered and returned to flying just a few months later.show more
