Mach X – The Next Generation of Fighter Pilots. If you thought “Top Gun Maverick” was reality, then it will be worth hearing what real fighter pilots are capable of today in #5thGen fighters and what the future looks like. Better than any video game ever, more exciting than any Red Bull event, flying into a world that is lightyears more dynamic than anything imagined is what will be the future for many young men and women. I am very excited about the chance to come to Wings magazine Careers in Aviation Expo in Ottawa on 4 May and talk to this new world. #f35, #RCAF, #space, #aviation, #STEM

How do you build TRUST & CONFIDENCE in your team?

COMING SOON: "A Flight School’s Secret Pathway to Success" Watch the trailer now! 👀 In our upcoming feature "A Flight School’s Secret Pathway to Success", we'll be taking you on around the world to hear from some of the most esteemed pilot academies, airlines, militaries, and universities share what led them to Diamond Aircraft, what happened when they started using Diamonds, and where they are today as a result -- each encountering their own unique challenges along the way. #WeFlyDiamondAircraft 💎✈️ https://lnkd.in/gSiTQMPX

At Farnborough International Air Show, #Leonardo has announced the launch of a comprehensive capability enhancement package for the #M346 integrated training system including the aircraft’s core avionics, navigation/identification, mission equipment and ground training capabilities. The move reflects the training needs to align pilot’s skills to the evolution dictated by modern multi-domain battlefields, combat air technology, and information management.   This latest development leverages the inherent growth capability embedded into the M-346 design as well as ten years of proven in-service experience with leading air forces across geographies and is an integral part of the broader organisational digitization roadmap initiative, fully consistent with Leonardo’s longer-term strategy. As such, both #training and #fighter variants will benefit from these enhancements to deliver even greater capabilities to the market for a wide spectrum of applications, while implying significant margin for further developments in the future. The #M346T Block 20’ and #M346F Block 20’ are the designations for the new standard. The new #Block20 standard will not be limited to the platform itself, but rather to the entire system including the ground based training system and shall be enabled by the widespread implementation of #digitalization powered by #ArtificialIntelligence. Lorenzo Mariani, Co-General Manager of Leonardo, stated: “Training represents a core area of expertise at Leonardo and the M-346 integrated training system is the backbone of our value proposition to ensure fighter pilots are well prepared to face modern and complex air challenges, today and in the future. As we are fully involved into next generation combat air developments, this latest progress of the M-346 testifies that we’re making sure the most appropriate training solutions are thoroughly embedded in this commitment. We strongly believe the type’s constantly evolving features will continue to deliver second-to-none benefits for users in its market segment, both for training and operational / light fighter roles, making it an ideal candidate for the future of fighter training in Europe and in other geographies.”      Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dcn3v7jc   #LDOFIA2024 #FIA2024

Beautiful aerodynamics and thrust ratio.

It's not just about virtual reality, it's also about augmented reality. Training our future warfighters is critical to operational readiness. By the time 6th gen aircraft launch, our support and training systems will be lightyears ahead of what they have today. I'm always mentioning that #boeing is a company on the cusp of #innovation in every aspect of #aviation and beyond. This move to augmented reality in training is proof positive that the #future is now. https://lnkd.in/g6bcmHCY #Boeing #future #innovation #technology #augmentedreality #warfighter

Today for #NationalAviationHistory Month, we’re looking at the B-29 Superfortress! Development for the Boeing B-29 began in late 1939 and went into production before its first flight in 1941. It contained several innovations that made it unique among the existing bombers, but the rushed design and production process meant that the B-29 had a few flaws, including engines that often overheated and caught fire. This aircraft was utilized in multiple operations throughout the Asiatic-Pacific Theater, including the first long-range bombing mission on Tokyo in 1944, and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945. Two B-29 Superfortresses, named “Enola Gay” and “Bock's Car”, dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, forcing Japanese surrender on 14 August 1945. This image is of Bock's Car, which was piloted by Maj. Charles W. Sweeney when he dropped the plutonium bomb “Fat Man” on Nagasaki on 9 August 1945. Bock's Car is currently displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
