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.
Rolls-Royce’s Highly Efficient Embedded Turbine Engine (HEETE) technology demonstration for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has passed its preliminary design review. The company’s LibertyWorks research unit was awarded the 34-month, $19.6 million HEETE contract in September 2007 to rig-test an ultra-high pressure ratio compressor and its integrated thermal management, with the goal of reducing the specific fuel consumption of embedded engines by 25 percent.
LASER BLAST: Boeing has fired the Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) technology demonstrator for the first time aboard its C-130H testbed. The ground firing on May 13 at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., marked the beginning of a series of tests leading up to in-flight firings at “mission-representative ground targets” later this year to evaluate the high-energy chemical laser’s military utility.

Canada has reduced the number of new fighters it plans to purchase to 65 from 80, and stresses that it has not formally selected the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) despite having participated in its development. The reduced requirement for new combat aircraft was revealed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he unveiled the Conservative government’s new ‘Canada First’ defense strategy in Halifax last week.
