Tour of an Airbus A350-900 at the Farnborough Airport in 2022

At the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK, we had the opportunity to tour the interior of a brand-new Airbus A350-900 aircraft operated by ITA Airlines. Check out the article for additional pictures and amazing aircraft.

Have you ever wondered how it feels to fly the most modern aero planes, which are also the safest and quietest? Try it once and you will notice the difference.  Yes, we’re talking about the Airbus A350. It is one of the most sophisticated aero planes ever manufactured by Airbus, with several characteristics that distinguish it from other aircraft.

Let’s take a look at some of the most cutting-edge technologies in the Airbus A350. As we all know, Airbus is always innovating and pursuing new generations of technology in the aviation industry.  Because it was designed using the same technology and platform as the A380, the A350 has seen a surge in demand since the latter’s manufacturing ceased.

The Airspace Explorer is being featured on board this flight by Airbus in order to promote new cabin technologies in the A350 aircraft. This comprises, among other things, new seat designs, entertainment systems, and technology. Furthermore, the IPad connects all of the technology systems, allowing the team to simply make modifications.

Boeing Transfers Rocket Stage to NASA, Paving Way for Human Moon Mission

Boeing Transfers Rocket Stage to NASA, Paving Way for Human Moon Mission

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
