It is no secret that the outside of an aircraft can be a hub for grime, fluids, and dirt of all kinds. Unlike their interiors, the exterior of aircraft is almost constantly exposed to the elements and will confront debris and dirt at high speed. However, aircraft can come in all shapes and sizes, and if one is concerned with their cleanliness, an obvious question arises: What makes some aircraft dirtier than others, and which aircraft types stand out for being the dirtiest? Nordic Dino provides a breakdown of the dirtiest aircraft types its robots have made spotless.

Vertical Aerospace achieved another significant milestone. Its latest VX4 has completed the first phase of its piloted flight test programme at the Vertical Flight Test Centre. During Phase 1, the VX4 prototype conducted multiple piloted tethered flights and ground runs, across 20 piloted test sorties, completing a total of 70 individual test points. Together, these tests simulated various aspects of flight and operational situations needed to validate the prototype’s safety in real-world flight scenarios, including those outside of its expected operating conditions. By intentionally testing the aircraft's ability to handle failures, Vertical demonstrated the underlying safety of its design.

Heart Aerospace unveils its first full-scale demonstrator airplane, marking a major milestone in the development of its regional hybrid-electric aircraft, the ES-30. Built almost entirely in-house at Heart’s Gothenburg facilities, the demonstrator reflects the company’s strategy to simultaneously develop both the design and production processes. With a commanding 32-meter wingspan, the demonstrator, named Heart Experimental 1 (Heart X1), will serve as a platform for rigorous testing and development of Heart’s ES-30 aircraft.

KlasJet is upgrading its fleet to add business class configuration for its ACMI operations. These cabin updates will make KlasJet one of the world’s only ACMI providers with twin-class configuration in its aircraft. As part of these upgrades, KlasJet expects to reconfigure its 737-800 to offer 12 business class seats, and a further 162 in economy. As opposed to simple additions of dividers for improvised business class, KlasJet’s new business class will feature twin seating on either side of the aisle, providing additional space and comfort for each passenger.
