finally! Tom Cruise does wingwalk! I was told there're only a dozen active wingwalkers in the US so wonder who Tom trained with. btw you can see authentic wingwalk performance only in the US 'coz in Europe the performers are not allowed to walk in and out of cockpit during flight

I used to wonder the same thing, but perhaps aviation has been evolving perhaps just in a more subtle way in less distinctive aspects such as fuel efficiency, overall cost, safety, cabin comfort, even the booking system (very important element) so that more people can take ride.

also many creatures in nature have "stopped" evolution millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago such as dragonfly, lizard, turtle etc. so perhaps things will stop substantial change in forms when they hit the limit set by physics or the law of nature.

the interesting story then and now about the founder and designer of Ivoprop, a well-known name in general aviation. He escaped Iron Curtain on a flying go-kart. Now lives in 1-person Ghost... youtu.be/HL4t-r-NnsE?si…

James May finally flew the Pipistrel Aircraft Velis electric light sport airplane. Interesting to his opinion about electric flight and light airplanes😃 youtu.be/nzALj-IuHv4?si…

Electra setting up for IPO? that'd be a real big thing as there ain't many fixed-wing GA companies in the stock market (Cirrus might be the only one I can think of and it's listed in HongKong so no fixed-wing GA company on the main street market yet.

The significance of the air battle between India and Pakistan is MUCH more profound than many people think. This isn't Rafale vs J10 or one BVLOS AAM vs another. This is an air battle between systems. This air battle will certainly have a place in military aviation history.

A Chinese paraglider pilot recently was sucked into a strong vertical airflow up to 8598 meters so he accidentally and unwillingly broke the world altitude record of paragliding set by a French pilot in 2016. He didn't bring oxygen and suffered frost bites but survived.

EHang limits the weight of the passenger on its EH216-S to 87kg at the operation site in Hefei. The company hasn't started the commercial operation yet.

interesting enough to think about the fact: considering the fleet size, flight hours, customer base etc. Does it mean that in the near future Joby will become more a conventional Part 135 helicopter operator rather than an eVTOL operator?

regional air mobility in reality and it's even VTOL! really like the "get on the plane first, then pay for the ticket" procedure. youtu.be/O2Qiym2Y_kw?si…
