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.

European research is amassing an array of technologies that could be applied to a future 90-seat regional turboprop to significantly reduce noise and emissions. An evaluation of technologies being developed under Europe’s Clean Sky public-private research program indicates a 2020-time frame advanced turboprop would have a 48% smaller airport noise footprint and reduce emissions by 23% for carbon dioxide and 43% for nitrogen oxides.
With a new generation of satellites coming, ushering in greater bandwidth capacity and new surveillance capability, Iridium Communications is aiming for an increasing share of the aviation market. But rather than compete for a piece of the airline-passenger connectivity business, the satellite operator is focused on satcom applications beyond the cabin.
