April 2013

This month in AIR International we feature a first-of-a-kind supplement on the US Navy’s EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft with some exclusive coverage. We feature combat operations into Libya, coverage of the EA-18G’s development, its ongoing test and evaluation, training at NAS Whidbey Island, Growler’s maiden cruise aboard the USS George H W Bush, and a look at future Australian Growlers.
Also detailed is the electronic attack mission, the threat posed by surface-to-air missiles, and the electronic warfare, jamming and weapons systems integrated on the aircraft.

As with every issue of AIR International there’s a bunch of other stuff in this bumper 116-page issue.

The first BIG feature this month covers Europe’s latest wide body airliner the Airbus 350 XWB.
We have detailed features on the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, retirement of the Royal Australian Air Force C-130H Hercules, the demise of the US Air Force Block 30 RQ-4 Global Hawk, Argentina’s national airline Aerolíneas Argentinas, and NASA research into future turbofan engine technologies.

And there’s more. We have a bunch of the very latest news featuring Lion Air’s order for 234 A320 family aircraft, maiden flight of a Saudi F-15SA Eagle, Piaggio reveals its HammerHead UAV, Bombardier unveils its CS100, update on the Dreamliner grounding, India’s EMB-145I debuts at Aero India, Brazil opts for Boeing 767-300ER tanker decision, and details of British Airways’ A380 routes.

March 2013

This month in AIR International we continue our Major Series on Attack Helicopters, just one of the leading topics of this month’s smashing 100-page issue. This month we feature exclusive coverage of the ship-based operations flown by British Army Air Corps Apache AH1s into Libya during Operation Unified Protector. Also in detail are the Russian Mi-24PN and Mi-35M Hind, the South African Air Force Rooivalk, and Turkey’s audacious T129 Atak.
Part three of this detailed series follows later in the spring.

But what about all the other stuff in the latest issue?
The first BIG feature this month covers the FAA-imposed grounding of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner including the incidents, the possible cause and the implications for Boeing and its customers.
We have a detailed account of French combat operations in the West African nation of Mali involving Rafales and Mirage fighters and Tigre attack helicopters among many others as part of Opération Serval.

On the eve of potentially gargantuan cuts to the US defence budget, AIR International analyses the current status of three of America’s most expensive war toys: the B-2 Spirit, F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. Are they good enough to face America’s future threats or are they a Struggling Stealth Triad?

Over in China, cash for defence...no problem. We cover Liaoning, the first aircraft carrier underway for the People's Liberation Army Navy and the brand new Y-20 Kunpeng transport aircraft, which looks very similar to the C-17.

We cover the cost over runs on 16 of the UK’s biggest defence projects including A400M Grizzly, A330 Voyager, and Typhoon, how the US Air Force is wrestling with its C-27J Spartan, T-38C Talon and UH-1N Huey aircraft, and positively bright forecasts from Airbus and Eurocopter for the year ahead.

And there’s more. We have a bunch of the very latest news featuring the massive merger between American Airlines and US Airways, Turkey’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter bombshell, Russia completes T-50 PAK FA missile trials, how the Indian Air Force AW101 deal has hit the rocks, Peruvian Eurofighters...Spain makes an offer, Russian Air Force Su-34 Fullbacks strike terrorists in Dagestan and Ingushetia, and the first Sukhoi SSJ100-95LR makes its maiden flight, amidst many other aircraft, helicopters and UAVs from around the globe.

February 2013

With so many helicopter gunships in production around the world, we launch a Major New Series on Attack Helicopters – the leading topic of this month’s 100-page issue. Part one covers four fully-armed, gun-totting types of chopper. In detail are the US Marine Corps’ AH-1W SuperCobra, Greek Army Aviation AH-64D Longbow Apaches, Russia’s Mi-28N Havoc and French Army Aviation’s Tiger HAD/HAP.

Operational stuff is also included with insight of missions provided by aviators from the US Marine Corps, Greek and French Army Aviation. Part two of this detailed series follows next month.

But what about all the other stuff in the latest issue?

We have flight-testing of the European A400M Grizzly, the shabby and stumbling US plan to finance the Afghan Air Force, Premium service from British Airways covering details of its forthcoming Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliners, French Rafales protecting a British Task Force, a sophisticated new-look from Germanwings, the rugged new generation Let L-410 NG, and the latest groovy in-flight entertainment systems by Thales.

And there’s more. We have a bunch of the very latest news featuring the last military Andover in UK service, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Ukraine’s An-70 now in production, India’s very first C-17A Globemaster, Chinese monsters: the H-6H bomber, and KJ200 Kongjing AWACS, the last airworthy VFW 614, China’s MA600 freighter and the first series-production, yet-to-be delivered EC175 amidst many other aircraft, helicopters and UAVs from around the globe.

November 2012

Boeing’s C-17 Globemaster III airlifter is the main topic of this month’s 100-page issue. We cover the aircraft’s history, how Boeing builds the jet, the latest avionics and flight control systems, and Pratt & Whitney’s amazing F117 engine. Operational stuff is also covered with America’s Air Mobility Command and the Royal Air Force. Part two of this massive supplement follows next month.

But what about all the other stuff in the latest issue?

We have a charismatic Dakota from South Africa, the ridiculous reason for the latest upgrade of the deadly B-2 Spirit bomber, an eco-friendly Boeing 737, catapult-launched Airbuses, sneaky-beaky King Airs, Her Majesty’s Ship Ocean and its helicopters standing Olympic guard on the River Thames, a portrayal of Nigeria’s Air Force in re-generation, and American-built Israeli heavy metal aimed at Iran.

And there’s more. We have a bunch of the very latest news featuring the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and yet-to-be built KC-46 tanker amidst many other aircraft, helicopters and UAVs from around the globe.
