The GE9X engine for the Boeing 777X set a new Guinness World Records title for thrust to become the most powerful commercial aircraft jet engine (test performance) after reaching 134,300 lb. This achievement breaks the record held by GE's GE90-11B engine of 127,900 lb set in 2002.

The new record occurred during an engineering test on Nov. 10, 2017 at GE's outdoor test facility in Peebles, Ohio. Guinness World Records acknowledged the feat at a ceremony at GE Aviation's Ohio headquarters as part of the company's 100-year celebration.

FAA bans DuPont fuel additive from use in 737 Max

Citing the risk of dual-engine power loss, the US Federal Aviation Administration has prohibited airlines from adding a DuPont-made biocide to the fuel of Boeing 737 Max.

An airworthiness directive effective 15 July requires 737 Max operators to remove fuel treated with the biocide from Max tanks and engines prior to first flight.

The order, which applies to DuPont's "Kathon FP 1.5 biocide", affects 75 737 Max of US registry, nearly the entire delivered US Max fleet.

Just ten planes delivered in June while another 183 jets were scratched from the backlog - all but five of them MAXs

Though Boeing now anticipates U.S. federal approval to unground its 737 MAX in September, company data released Tuesday shows that in the first half of this year the manufacturer lost just over 800 orders for the troubled airplane.

With the MAX unable to be delivered and with the COVID-19 pandemic killing demand for all other airplanes, Boeing's update Tuesday to its orders and deliveries website also shows that it delivered just 10 jets in June, only three of which were passenger airplanes.

With production at such a slow crawl, Boeing delivered a total of...

The Air Force has released the first picture of one of its new Boeing F-15EX Eagle fighter jets now under construction.

This coincides with the service awarding the Chicago-headquartered plane maker a contract worth nearly $23 billion for work on these jets, $1.2 billion of which will go to the delivery of the first lot of eight aircraft.

Dual-control inputs from a Condor Airbus A320's pilots badly obstructed its response to collision-avoidance orders during a low-altitude conflict, investigators have determined.

As the aircraft climbed through 2,635ft, still approaching the shoreline, the collision-avoidance system instructed the crew to maintain its 1,800ft/min vertical speed.

But the first officer "did not follow" this instruction,...

July 13, 2020 - by David Szondy for newatlas.com

Airbus Helicopters' multi-role H160 helicopter has received type certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Three prototypes of the twin-engine rotorcraft have completed over 1,500 hours of test and demonstration flights and it is now expected to gain US FAA certification before commercial deliveries begin later this year.

Introduced at the Heli-Expo in Orlando, Florida in March 2015, the H160 is the latest generation of Airbus' H family of helicopters, building on the legacies of the H145 and H175 and replacing the company's AS365 and EC155 models.

Since 2015, the H160 has been undergoing flight tests in the run-up to entering service this year in...

HUGE NEWS FOR SIMMERS: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Release On August 18 Ranging From $59.99 To $119.99

Exploring the vast Earth Microsoft has created for Flight Simulator 2020

July 13, 2020 - by Jon Ostrower for www.theaircurrent.com

The Air Current was given the world's first hands-on look at the new 2020 version of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

A decade ago, Microsoft Flight Simulator was a casualty of The Great Recession.

The development team that built Flight Sim, known as the Aces Game Studio, was disbanded by Microsoft in 2009. The company walked away and the code was eventually licensed to Lockheed Martin to create its own simulation software called Prepar3D (pronounced Prepared) that it uses for professional air, land and sea training.

The Winnebago Heli-Home Was a Real Flying RV That Needs to Make a Comeback in 2020

A decade before Spaceballs, Winnebago thought about making RVs fly

Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.

July 13, 2020 - by PETER HOLDERITH for www.thedrive.com

The motorhome seems like a great idea until you have to actually drive it somewhere. As it turns out, the car and the house don't have enough in common to be the best fit. But what about a house and a helicopter—what is the latter if not an airborne box that can be filled with the comforts of home?

I guess that was the thought behind the Winnebago Heli-Home, a real flying RV that was actually marketed and sold by Winnebago in the late 1970s. A pretty perfect idea for vacations in 2020, too.

I would like to begin by saying that it's unfortunate Winnebago didn't actually try to make an existing RV model fly a la Eagle 5 in Spaceballs, but reality has its stubborn limits.

Instead, beginning in 1975 it worked with a company called Orlando Helicopter Airways to acquire a fleet of ex-military Siksorky S-55...

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
