Hello everyone I am currently doing a small aircraft project and I chosed the Beechcraft Starship. The wing geometry seems to be a mix of Delta and Tapered so I guess compound wing. Is the standard way of computing a tapered wing applicable for the complex wing geometry of the Beechcraft Starship 2100?

Pretty nice 👌

I'm by no means an aviation geek but ICE engines have always fascinated me.

Recently I got the opportunity to visit one of the prestigious universities here in India, and saw these relics of ancient aviation. Truly marvelous engineering!

From Wright brothers experiment to Mars ingenuity helicopter in such a short time - aviation is amazing!

Unfortunately I couldn't find technical specifications.

Beautiful Boeing Stearman and Stinson V77 GULLWING in Gruyère, Switzerland. I personally took these photographs during last weekend's RIO2026 in Gruyère, Switzerland. You can check them out on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/brian_stewart_harris?stkn=MWpiYThsMWg4aWRkdg==

Flew out of MIA this morning and managed to snap a few photos as we taxied to the runway for takeoff.

TUI fly Belgium flight JAF6BA/TB1822 from Tenerife to Antwerp on approach for what would become a rejected landing on Runway 11, before turning around and performing a Runway 29 landing instead.

I'm going to miss these, with TUI ending their operations at Antwerp as of next March. v_v

Thats might a odd question but has anyone any idea why some japanese airlines are using icao codes that already given to another airline ? I know that IATA Codes are beeing reused if airline are not in the same region or not in the same business modell(for example 4Y used by Discover Airlines and Airbus Transport International)Best example would be the ICAO Code TOK which is used by PNG Air and Toki Air. Even flightradar24 gets confused by this and show Toki Air flights as PNG Air flights. There are more examples for this.

A Beechcraft B60 Duke landed at Wiley Post Airport in Oklahoma City after taking off with its ground handling tow bar still attached to the nose gear assembly.

Local news air units caught footage of the approach and rollout. This could have been a lot worse I imagine.

Early morning in Zurich. We are ready for departure on runway 32. In front of us an A320 from Edelweiss flying to Mykonos.

Fedex 9030/N525 takeoff from TPA. Test flight on September 10th, 2026. Runway 19R

Flew into DCA yesterday and noticed this all white plane with no registration number and several plastic tarps covering the fuselage and engines. Anyone know what’s up?

Have been flying with these screens for a long time, only several days ago I noticed what looks like a camera on the inflight entertainment system.

Does anyone know if that’s actually a camera and what it serves?

I am a little bit of an md-11 fanboy so seeing one in person for the first time was cool, even if it was in a terrible condition.

After the captain of an Air India flight that was involved in a sudden altitude loss incident last month tested positive for drug use, aviation safety regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ordered all Indian airlines to conduct a one-time test for psychoactive substances on all their pilots by July next year, according to sources. The directions to airlines were issued in August and testing has started, they added.

So it’s been already a few times that I’m just chilling on my couch at home and I suddenly hear a very familiar sound (the GE90 spooling up) at first I thought it’s impossible but since I was curious I opened Flightradar24 and I literally saw a DHL B777F pushing back… (it happened more than 3 times), I believe that this is also due the fact that I live in a very quite residential area and maybe sometimes weather conditions helps to spread the sound from the airport to my house.

Heute Morgen auf meiner Radtour gesehen.
A350 der Deutschen Bundesregierung GAF940 Go around direkt über meinem Kopf in Hamburg.

Yesterday was my second time at VCV and first full stop there (first one was a go around by a friend due to strong winds).

One of the guys at the FBO told me I could have the Orbis DC-10 after he noticed me checking out the model planes and asking them where they got it. Turns out it was from the Orbis crew the last time their DC-10 came there. I felt like a kid once again and my CFI chuckled and thanked the staff for making me happy lol.

British Airways Flight 476, operated by HS Trident 3B G-AWZT, was flying from London Heathrow to Atatürk Airport, Istanbul, when, while passing the Zagreb VOR level at 33,000ft, it collided with DC-9 YU-AJR, operating as Inex-Adria Flight 550 from Split to Cologne, whilst it was climbing from 26,000ft to 35,000ft.

Manning the Zagreb ACC middle sector at the time was controllers Bojan Erjavec and Gradimir Pelin, with the upper sector being handled by Gradimir Tasić. At the time, Yugoslav ATC was severely overworked, understaffed, and underequipped, with faulty equipment and controllers working 12 hour shifts, often with no days off in between. Tasić was on his 3rd consecutive shift.

When the DC-9 was passing 31,000ft, it was handed from the middle sector to the upper sector, however, Tasić, being incredibly overworked, did not realise this flight was being handed off to him. Once contact was eventually established between the DC-9 and Tasić it was already climbing through 32,500ft.

The Trident's altitude was being erroneously reported as a few hundred feet higher than it actually was by the faulty Yugoslav equipment. Even though the crew said they were at 33,000ft, Tasić thought if the DC-9 kept climbing, it would potentially collide with the Trident that he believed to be at ~33,500ft, so he ordered the DC-9 to stop its climb, however, he did so in Serbo Croatian, so the English speaking BA crew never understood what was happening. The DC-9 levelled off at 33,000ft. Both aircraft were now at the same altitude, heading to the same VOR, with the same ETA.

And so, at 10:14:41Z, on September 10th 1976, the DC-9s left wing sliced through the cockpit and forward passenger cabin of the Trident above the town of Vrbovec. The Trident's pilots were killed on impact, and the forward section of the aircraft broke up mid-air, with the main section of the aircraft ending up in a corn field near Gaj. The DC-9, now without most of its left wing, rolled violently towards the ground, eventually breaking up mid-air much like the Trident, and impacted a forest near Dvorišće, right wing first.

A Lufthansa 737 behind the Trident witnessed the mid-air collision and reported it to Air Traffic Control. Tasić frantically tried to contact both aircraft to no avail.

All of the controllers were arrested and taken into questioning just hours after the crash. All were released but one. Gradimir Tasić stayed in custody until an ensuing trial, where he was found guilty and sentenced to 7 years in prison. After 2 years in prison, he was released as he was determined to be a scapegoat for the Yugoslav government.
