"Pilots Face Challenges Amid False GPS Signal Surge"
False GPS signals, likely of military origin, are causing disruptions for airline pilots near conflict zones, leading to false ground collision alerts and altered flight trajectories. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned of intensified disruptions since the start of the war in Ukraine and is partnering with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to counter spoofing and jamming, emphasizing the need for coordinated data collection and safety measures to address the rising safety risk posed by attacks on GPS systems.

"Lockheed Martin and NASA Unveil Supersonic X-59 Jet for Faster Transatlantic Travel"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox Business
Lockheed Martin officially introduced its experimental X-59 supersonic aircraft with NASA, aiming to produce a quieter sonic thump instead of a sonic boom as it surpasses the speed of sound. The 99-feet-long aircraft, with a 29-foot wing-span, is set to undergo testing before its first flight in 2024, with the goal of gathering data to support new rules for quiet commercial supersonic flight over land. NASA aims to open new commercial markets for U.S. companies and benefit travelers worldwide through this demonstration.
"Revolutionary Solution: General Aviation News Discovers Ice-Free Flying"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by General Aviation News
James Wiebe from Radiant Instruments is collaborating with Comp Air Aviation to develop an aircraft deicing system that uses an electromagnetic pulse to deform the skin of the aircraft and shed ice. By discharging roughly 1,000 volts through a coil at a peak current of 1,000 amps, the system delivers a powerful blow to the surface, causing ice to debond and fall away. This technology has the potential to improve safety and utility in general aviation.
