AIR International  |  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.
