DLD 418: Flying on funky wings

Alt text: A serene landscape featuring a field with patches of snow in the foreground and a line of trees in the distance. The sky is filled with dramatic clouds, and the sun is partially obscured, casting rays of light through the clouds, creating a beautiful and tranquil scene.

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

DLD 402: Three planes you’ll probably never fly. Or maybe four.

The image shows the view from an airplane window. The airplane's wing is visible, extending outwards with a clear sky in the background. The sky has a gradient of colors, transitioning from light blue at the top to a soft pinkish hue near the horizon, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Below the wing, there are some clouds. The window frame of the airplane is also visible, framing the view.

DLD 356: Celebratory deaths

So much noise for a handful of new routes. Is it really worth the hype? Plus an airline blocks customers and a hotel sues its parent brand.
