AIR International  |  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.
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.
