Russia's Next-Generation Fighter Jet, the Felon, Is Now Bionic (Popular Mechanics)

Russia's next-generation Su-57 Felon fighter jet is getting upgraded 3D-printed landing gear. Here's why that's important.

The Felon is reportedly seeing limited service in Ukraine. In 2020, Russia’s Defence Ministry said that the Felon had entered its fleet with the delivery of the first production aircraft to an aviation regiment of the Southern Military District. [reportedly be made of aluminum](https://www.airrecognition.com/index.php/news/defense-aviation-news/2023-news-aviation-aerospace/february/8902-sukhoi-designs-bionic-landing-gear-for-su-57-felon-fighter-jet.html) and features an advanced computer-designed architecture, according to the United Aircraft Corporation. The avionics package includes active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and ELINT systems. The aircraft manufacturer, Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau, claims the Felon’s new landing gear slashes one-quarter of the weight over traditional designs thanks to its “bionic” design, a term that refers to organic-seeming components. Development was halted due to the fall of the Soviet Union, but an upgraded version has slowly started to make its way into Russian service.

Mississippi Lawmakers Want to Keep Aging T-1A Training Jet in ... (Military.com)

Michael Guest and Trent Kelly, all Mississippi Republicans, said delays in new flight simulators and new training aircraft means the planned retirement of T-1As ...

The Air Force is working to correct some escape system deficiencies found during initial testing in late 2021 and will resume escape system testing in the first quarter of 2023." The jet crashed at a private property about 30 minutes south of the base. Software issues and ejection seat concerns are causing delays in getting the new aircraft to pilots. "Given the recent media reports of further delays in the T-7A program, the T-1A may be the best defense against unforeseen shortfalls that may adversely affect the pilot training pipeline," the lawmakers wrote. But as delays mount for the new replacement jet, Mississippi lawmakers are concerned that the service will be too hasty in retiring the T-1A before a suitable replacement is in place. "If these technologies do not mature on schedule, the Air Force will lose any ability to effectively train pilots in a 'like-aircraft' to which they will be assigned post-graduation." In that incident, two T-38Cs took off, each with one person, an instructor, aboard. "All flight control software issues to date have been resolved and will be tested in flight in the first quarter of 2023. [according to the Air Force Safety Center data.](https://www.safety.af.mil/Portals/71/documents/Aviation/Aircraft%20Statistics/T-38.pdf) There have been a total of 86 pilot deaths and 149 fatalities in total for the T-38.

Ashish Chhawchharia Took Jet Airways Out Of Its Big Mess. Can He ... (Forbes India)

The resolution professional has cleared the first hurdle for the debt-stricken airline, and is watching the court battle as lenders challenge the NCLT ...

Soon after, the management asked Chhawchharia to step in on a two-year deputation and move to the UK to help with the turnaround and integration of the business. And only once the airline takes to skies, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Lenders seem to have lost faith in the ability of the revived Jet to generate sizeable returns. As defined in the plan, the monitoring committee takes over control of the company, making it a quasi-board. “I questioned myself on a couple of occasions at that time, that did I do the right things by taking up the UK deputation because out here in the professional services field, there was no real credit for that,” Chhawchharia says. With officers and managers of the company reporting to him and providing access to documents and records, Chhawchharia also had to verify and admit all the claims that were made against the airline by debtors. In addition, Chhawchharia also had to ensure that the 11 aircraft that belonged to the airline weren’t left to sit idle and needed to be regularly maintained. “We faced issues in accessing information as the IT infrastructure was blocked by the service providers and almost all senior employees had left,” Chhawchharia says. Sixteen thousand employees used to work with the company at its peak and by the time the company suspended operations in April 2019, that number stood at around 12,000. But in terms of the complexities and challenges, it was.” Since then, Jet Airways, which once had a domestic market share of 54 percent, has found a new buyer, as part of the insolvency proceedings, in the Jalan-Kalrock consortium and wants to fly out sometime between April and June this year. “I had no way to know what was happening on the inside,” says the 49-year-old.
