WELCOME
T
here’s a bite in the morning
air and autumn is inching ever
closer. However old we get,
this is still very much ‘back
to school’ time and while the
AIR International
team may
be a little long in the tooth for
new pencil cases, we have
transferred our enthusiasm for the latest kit to
the likes of shiny new aircraft and other clever
technology. This month we look at the latest
generation of start-ups and their innovations
(page 50),
consider how three aircraft makers
– some new, some less so – aim to stay
competitive in a crowded market
(page 36),
and
take a close look at digital twinning and how it
is helping the likes of Boeing bring new types to
market faster and more cheaply
(page 74).
When it comes to military aviation, the
opportunities for launching new equipment and
aircraft continue to present themselves. While
the Russian attack on Ukraine is now more
than seven months old, we are seeing renewed
tensions between China and Taiwan. A recent visit
to the latter by Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US
House of Representatives, led to an outburst of
military drills that provides some insight into how
China might attempt to seize the island. More
than 200 People’s Liberation Army Air Force
aircraft crossed Taiwan’s ADIZ, with war in the
Pacific looking ever more likely, according to Alan
Warnes, editor at large, modern military. However,
for now, we take a look at a new era of rotary
operations (page
68)
and pay tribute to France’s
retiring C-160R, on
page 44.
Whether commercial or military, we will
continue to keep you up to date with the latest
developments in aviation. As ever, enjoy the issue.
