Flight International, March 2024
In our latest issue, we have an exclusive flight-test report on Paramount’s Mwari – a South African-developed light tactical aircraft honed for reconnaissance and close air support duties. The rugged and low-cost warrior has already entered service with two African air forces.
Our news team reports from the Singapore air show, where Comac gave a flying display debut to its C919, and took a fresh slice of the Asia-Pacific region’s narrowbody order backlog as it challenges the ‘big two’ airframers. Plus, Saudi Arabia advanced its ‘Vision 2030’ process at the World Defense Show near Riyadh.
Also: Airbus sets its sights on 800 commercial deliveries this year, but slips A321XLR shipments; and Boeing’s management crisis deepens. And why the US Army killed its ambitious Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft programme.
We also hit the production floor at AALTO’s Farnborough site in the UK, as the Airbus subsidiary predicts stratospheric demand for its high-flying Zephyr. And our training special reviews the full flight simulator industry.
