RampRadio Hangar explores United Cancels Planned 9/11 Flyover.
TowerUnited Airlines canceled a Boeing 777 flyover with F-16 escort at a Denver September 11 memorial after community concerns - a decision that reveals how aviation still navigates the weight of that morning.
TowerVFR flight following is a free radar service that gives cross-country pilots traffic alerts, airspace awareness, and emergency support - here's how to get it and use it correctly.
PatternNASA-funded Wayfarer demonstrator tests retractable electric props and blown-wing technology on a Cessna 182, potentially cutting stall speeds by 30–40%.
TowerWeight and balance is two independent checks - and understanding the CG envelope tells you exactly how your aircraft will behave from rotation to touchdown.
PatternAVweb's September 10 Picture of the Day from Wings Over Batavia 2026 reveals the legal and technical requirements to perform aerobatics in front of a crowd.
TowerWisk Aero is pursuing FAA certification for a fully autonomous 4-passenger air taxi with no pilot seat - a regulatory first with no existing standard to follow.
VectorZeroAvia's hydrogen fuel cell powertrain delivers 10–20x more energy per kilogram than batteries, making it the most credible path to zero-emission regional aviation.
VectorFormer 21 Air employees say the cargo carrier actively suppressed safety reporting before a Boeing 767 crash on Amazon Prime Air routes - a pattern the NTSB has linked to aviation's worst accidents.
TowerACAS X replaces TCAS's fixed decision rules with a precomputed optimization algorithm, reducing nuisance alerts and scaling to drones, eVTOLs, and increasingly complex airspace.
VectorArcher Aviation's Midnight eVTOL completed a piloted round-trip demonstration flight between Salinas and Hollister airports as part of its active FAA certification program.
TowerBessie Coleman became the world's first Black woman to earn a pilot's license in 1921 by learning French and crossing an ocean to train in France after every American school refused her.

TowerBoom Supersonic's XB-1 demonstrator reached Mach 1.12 in January 2025, marking the most credible progress toward commercial supersonic flight since the Concorde retired in 2003.
VectorClass Bravo airspace requires an explicit ATC clearance before entry - not radar contact, not a squawk code, not a traffic advisory.
PatternThe Jeppesen approach charts every pilot uses today trace directly to a handmade notebook a 23-year-old airmail pilot kept over the Rocky Mountains in 1930.
TaildraggerNew aircraft engines must be run at high power during break-in - not babied - to properly seat piston rings and prevent permanent cylinder glazing.
TowerFAR 91.185 tells IFR pilots exactly what route to fly, what altitude to hold, and when to begin an approach after losing two-way radio contact in controlled airspace.
