In 2010 professional airline pilots, co-pilots, and flight engineers made a median annual wage of $103,210, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In that same year commercial pilots made a median annual wage of $67,500. Employment of both airline and commercial pilots was expected to...
Navigating the future – how electric flight will drive business aviation This summer, a team of intrepid pilots and engineers undertook the first ever ‘Tour de France’ in an electric aircraft. Over 17 days, The Elektro Tour covered 2,400 kilometers across… ...
Ignacio Lombo heads Airbus Defence and Space's Flight Test team,which consists of around 50 pilots, flight engineers, flight mechanics, loadmasters and A330 MRTT boom operators and UAV operators.They are responsible both for flying the aircraft before delivery and for working with engineering teams...
Automatic pilot, device for controlling an aircraft or other vehicle without constant human intervention. The earliest automatic pilots could do no more than maintain an aircraft in straight and level flight by controlling pitch, yaw, and roll movements;
Pilots, aircrews and commanders depend on advanced technology to ensure superior connectivity and effectiveness of manned and unmanned systems in the battlespace. Collins Aerospace provides the cross-platform technology and expansive scale necessary to ensure that air forces remain combat-ready and a...
The tireless work of engineers, test pilots, and certification authorities is vital in maintaining the exceptional safety record that the aviation industry boasts. So, the next time you buckle up for your next flight in the sky, maybe you could take a moment to marvel at the intricate testing...
Evolution of Flight Simulators Early Pilot Training In the “good old days,” pilots learned to fly in airplanes, not in simulators as is often the case today. Not a lot was known then about how skills are learned, and pilot training was largely a process of self-instruction—and survival...
EMALS technology offers the potential benefit of finer aircraft acceleration control, which leads to lower stress levels in the aircraft and pilots, provides a slower launch speed for unmanned air vehicles, and allows a wider window of wind-over-deck speed required for the launch sequence. ...
