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.
News from the Aerodays2015 research conference in London Oct. 20-23: MTU runs better GTF; Airbus rethinks cabins; UTRC advances model-based engineering; NASA tests low-noise flaps, gear.
Creating a testbed to prove a wing with drag-reducing natural laminar flow can be produced industrially and operated routinely has taken longer than Airbus and its European partners expected.
Since 2008, the European Commission has been working with aerospace companies to develop technologies for future aircraft under a public-private partnership called Clean Sky. The original phase of the program—which runs until 2017—will be extended until 2024 through a second phase called Clean Sky 2. Combined, these two research programs represent a €5.6 billion ($6.2 billion) investment. Here are some of the technologies in the works.
