The last nine months were earth-shattering for Alcoa.

The seventh and final year of NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation project is on target for a grand finale: the goal of simultaneous cuts in drag, weight, fuel burn, noise and emissions seems eminently doable moving forward.

As bypass ratios increase and engine cores get smaller, Pratt & Whitney comes up with a unique solution to the challenges of small scales inside future turbofans.

What could spur Alcoa to pony up maybe $5 billion in less than a year? Aerospace and defense market share

U.S. carriers feel a deep sense of frustration as they watch the likes of Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways penetrate the American market from nearly 12,000 kilometers away.

Aerospace parts come in all shapes and sizes. While manufacturing efficiency of large to mid size structural aerospace parts has been a focal point for Makino, smaller parts like leading edges also require process optimization. These smaller parts are often produced on general purpose machines or in multiple part nests on large dedicated aerospace machines. Neither is an efficient solution as production volumes and piece cost pressures continue to ramp up. Delivering up to 300 cubic inches of metal removal capability in a 500mm 5-axis horizontal platform; attend this webinar to learn how Makino’s new a61nx-5E is the Right Size solution for your small aerospace parts production.

Test flights are getting underway of a Boeing 757 with an actively blown vertical tail and new wing-leading-edge sections, which could pave the way for the wider use of natural laminar and active flow control technology in future airliner designs.
