DLD 494: The Farnborough files

Perhaps major airshows are losing their impact on the industry a bit. But Farnborough still brought plenty of key news to the fore.

DLD 477: Playing the fool

We’re skipping April Fool’s Day in favor of some real news, including at least one story we were convinced should’ve been a joke.

DLD 423: Are you aware??

A small commercial airplane with "Universal Hydrogen" branding on its fuselage is taking off from a runway. The aircraft has a colorful design with blue, white, and red elements, and the tail features a logo with a hydrogen symbol. The background shows a partly cloudy sky and a landscape with fields and distant buildings.

Hydrogen is flying, at least on one engine. And that’s way better for awareness than some of the other stuff we’ve seen lately.

DLD 418: Flying on funky wings

New wing designs, and new engines hanging from them, could change the way we fly. Or at least make it more efficient.

DLD 412: Dollar dollar bills, y’all

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. The ceiling features a series of large, curved beams with a skylight running down the center, allowing natural light to illuminate the space. Below, there are seating areas with people waiting, some looking at their phones or talking. In the background, there are signs indicating gates and other airport facilities. The overall atmosphere is typical of an airport waiting area, with a modern and spacious design.

Singapore Airlines is out spending cash like it is 2019 again, so that seems to be good news for other airlines.

DLD 394: Farnborough Follow-up

The image shows a view from an airplane window, capturing the wing and engine of the plane in the foreground. On the runway below, there is a large white cargo airplane with the word "Cargolux" written on its side. The background includes airport buildings, vehicles, and other infrastructure. The scene appears to be at an airport with multiple runways and taxiways.

Despite being one of the slowest major air shows for new order announcements in years, Farnborough 2022 offered plenty of news.
