Airbus is studying a further increase in production of single-aisle aircraft as the manufacturer seeks ways to accommodate continued strong demand for the A320neo family. | Airlines across Asia-Pacific are giving Boeing’s proposed new mid-market airplane high marks on the basis of the concept’s unusual combination of a relatively high passenger capacity and wide range capability. | | ST Engineering and its Aerospace subsidiary are flying the banner for farsighted innovation at the Singapore Airshow. | Initial results from crucial tests of two key elements of Rolls-Royce’s future large civil engine strategy are positive and on track says the powerplant manufacturer. | | The consensus in the industry is that China’s business aviation market is starting to take off again and that Southeast Asia is experiencing some good growth. | Leonardo is studying concepts for a second-generation rotary-wing unmanned air vehicle for use in both land and maritime environments. | | Singapore’s new maritime patrollers are likely to be fitted with a more robust anti-submarine warfare capability as Southeast Asia sees a proliferation of underwater forces. | Air traffic management systems for drones will be required in Singapore in the future to manage situations where multiple drones are flying together. | | Lockheed Martin’s F-35 will expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region this year, as Australia, Japan, and South Korea begin populating their first Joint Strike Fighter bases. | The integration of the ALCM into the Su-34 frontline bombers and Su-35S multi-role fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces is not ruled out. | | “A boon and a bane” may be the best way to describe the four new Airbus A400M airlifters operated by Malaysia. | | Changi Airport, which is already one of the busiest and largest airports in the world, is undergoing a massive expansion program that includes a new “mega” terminal, known as Terminal 5, and a third runway. | The U.S. Navy is almost done qualifying the Boeing P-8A Poseidon to receive fuel from the KC-135 aerial tanker, allowing the armed maritime patrol aircraft to fly nonstop for up to 18 hr. | | |
