The fiscal 2022 budget request, the first released by President Joe Biden, did not substantially depart from the priorities of the previous administration.

Defense budgets are beginning to level off, and yet potential threats posed by China’s rising power in the Pacific and Russian muscle-flexing in Eastern Europe are not abating.

Aviation Week editors will talk with Michael Griffin, the former undersecretary of defense for Research and Engineering and former NASA administrator, about his attempt to speed innovation at the Pentagon and where that effort may now be headed.

As the drive toward sustainable commercial supersonic aircraft begins to accelerate, it seems remarkable that half a century ago the first supersonic airliner prototypes were already entering flight testing and the coming high-speed leap in civil aviation was viewed as a near-term inevitability.
