Airliner World  |   July 2021
The July 2021 issue of Airliner World is truly out of this world, as we chat with Virgin Orbit’s chief test pilot, Kelly Latimer. The legendary aviator gives us an exhilarating first-hand understanding of the technical challenges and rewards involved in horizontally launching a 70ft rocket into space from a Boeing 747-400 mothership.
For those more accustomed to Earth-focused sorties, we also grab a much sought-after seat on the inaugural flight of US start-up, Avelo. We speak to the firm’s veteran CEO about its business model and look at how the new company aims to differentiate itself from the competition.
That’s not all, don’t miss our fascinating account of how MEA provided a near-continuous service during the Lebanese Civil War often under the most perilous operating conditions. For those dreaming of a more tranquil journey, we also chart the ongoing project by HARS to return an ex-Qantas and former John Travolta-owned Boeing 707-138B back to Australia.
Further highlights include a look under the cowling to analyse the rare, but high-profile problem of engine failures, and keeping things technical, we analyse the recent shimming headache for Boeing on its 787 Dreamliner.
As usual, we also have comprehensive coverage of global news, deliveries, flight training, preservation, up-to-date accident reports, MRO and RecoveryWatch.
