Graham leads Aviation Week's coverage of technology, focusing on engineering and technology across the aerospace industry, with a special focus on identifying technologies of strategic importance to aviation, aerospace and defense.
Born and educated in Scotland, he graduated in aeronautical engineering and worked in advanced design at Hawker Siddeley Aviation in the U.K. before becoming an aerospace journalist. Before joining Aviation Week in April 2008, he spent almost 30 years with weekly aerospace news magazine Flight International, most recently as Americas Editor based in the U.S.
Graham is a winner of the Decade of Excellence award for aviation journalism, and a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. He was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 Aerospace Media Awards.
In 2013 the Jesse H. Neal award for Best Technical Content was awarded to Graham Warwick and Guy Norris for their Advanced Propulsion feature.
A graphene-based de-icer developed by Rice University has been further modified to prevent icing by adding water-repelling superhydrophobic properties to passively prevent ice forming at temperatures above 7F. The de-icer, a thin coating of graphene nanoribbons in epoxy that is sprayed on, has shown in the laboratory the ability to melt ice formed on a helicopter rotor blade in a -4F environment. When a small voltage is applied to the conductive coating, electrothermal heat melted centimeter-thick ice.
The first aerospace challenge to be launched by Airbus Group and Local Motors has produced the biggest response yet seen by the U.S.-based global crowdsourced vehicle design specialist.
DARPA uses machine learning advances to improve automatic target recognition, helping pilots make decisions in high-speed combat against enemy air defenses.
