One half of the moon always faces away from Earth, because it is close enough to have become locked in position by our planet’s gravitational field. It has fascinated mankind for centuries, with astro...

Plane design has remained largely the same since the first commercial planes that took flight over a century ago. The technology behind how planes fly has improved, and the systems controlling, govern...

Supersonic flight was first made available to the public in 1976, changing the Aviation industry overnight. One of just two supersonic commercial planes ever developed, the Concorde was a turbo-jet po...

Gatwick Airport has recently shut down due to drone activity on its runways. It is illegal to fly drones within 1km of British airports, over concerns around terrorism, spying and damage to planes. Of...

With human beings predicted to start going into space more often, and even to colonise planets in the coming decades, we’re beginning to wonder how traditional laws would work in space.

The NovaSar-1 is a satellite recently launched into space that can take pictures of the surface of the Earth in any weather. Whilst this may not sound exciting, it has revolutionary potential in the f...

A solid-state system runs without any moving parts. This is beneficial because it means less chance of something going wrong – the more moving parts there are, the more variables and the more componen...

The worldwide shortage of airline pilots is reducing the quality of flights on offer. According to Boeing, the Aviation industry will need almost 800,000 new pilots by 2037 just to meet demand. This i...

Commercial spaceflight is rapidly becoming a reality. No longer is space only available for a handful of people in a generation to experience. Private companies are looking to open tourism to the star...

India has one of the most rapidly growing Aviation sectors in the world, growing faster than even the US and China. This is due in part to India’s growing population and middle class, with around 50 m...

Autonomous technology is rapidly influencing intelligence, efficiency and applications. Originally used in factories on assembly lines for cars and other machinery, autonomous technology has improved ...

For decades, all commercial airplanes have been flown by two pilots to ensure safety in the event of an emergency. However, thanks to improvements in Aviation technology, single pilot planes could soo...
