While there are a number of piston engines capable of operating on more readily available jet fuel, late last year, Gogetair flew its top-of-the-line G750 aircraft with a Turbotech TP-R90 turboprop engine. First, the structural design of the aircraft offers an optimized center of gravity that results in better flight stability and handling.

These jets are most in need of a refresh, as the cabins on them are quite outdated. As part of the plan to reconfigure these jets, SWISS intends to introduce a single row of first class, featuring three(ish) seats — this includes two single seats at the windows, plus a double suite in the center.

If we understand it well enough, we can harness this phenomenon to help us even defy gravity. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. The principle is the same whether the aircraft gets thrust from propellers or jet engines. It provides yaw control.

A significant investment in heavy, water-jet cut steel tooling means repeatedly accurate wings come off the Composite Creations table. Nudging it back to center slid the ball a diameter the other way—trying to corral it in the middle was a bit pointless as it didn’t want to live there. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32
