Ever since the F-22 was introduced in 2005, it's been recognized as one of the most capable fighter planes in the world. However, it isn't very good at directly sharing data with anything other than other F-22s. Project Hydra is changing that.

Seattle-based company Jetoptera says its air-accelerating Fluidic Propulsive System, which works a lot like a Dyson "bladeless" fan, produces thrust for half the fuel of a small turbojet while being the "most silent propulsion system in the skies."

The US Air Force has taken early delivery of a second F-15EX fighter jet, opening the way to beginning full-scale flight testing of the latest F-15 variant being built by a Boeing-led industry team for the Air Force and the Air National Guard.

Saab has flown a 3D-printed replacement part on the exterior of a Gripen fighter jet for the first time on a test flight at Linköping, Sweden, potentially paving the way for printed parts to be used to make battlefield repairs.

Aerion is looking beyond the 2027 launch of its AS2 supersonic business jet for the ultra-rich, to something for the rest of us. The AS3TM, if it gets built, would be a 50-passenger supersonic commercial airliner capable of speeds over Mach 4.

California-based drone manufacturer Skyfront is claiming a new endurance world record for its Perimeter 8 gas-electric hybrid multirotor, which stayed airborne for 13 hours, 3 minutes and 57 seconds, covering 205 miles in the process.

As part of its Advanced Air Transport Technology (AATT) Project, NASA is working on a new leading-edge wing design that aims to decrease aircraft noise while taking off and landing.

Billed as the first ultra-widebody purpose-built business jet, Dassault's Falcon 6X reached an altitude of 40,000 feet and a speed of Mach 0.8 during its first flight in the skies over Bordeaux on March 10.

The latest variant of the F-15 fighter jet has taken to the skies for the first time. The F-15EX completed its maiden test flight earlier this week, as Boeing prepares to fulfill an initial order of eight of the advanced fighters for the US Air Force.

There are now a lot of fixed-wing drones on the market, and most of them look pretty similar. FLY-R's aircraft are different, though, in that they incorporate a rhomboidal wing design – it's claimed to offer some distinct advantages.

Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet has made its first launch from a "ski jump" ramp. No, it's not a dare or some weird new winter sport but a demonstration to show the Indian Navy that the fighter jet can safely operate from its aircraft carriers.

A US Air Force U-2 Dragon Lady high-altitude reconnaissance jet has become the first military aircraft to have an artificial intelligence algorithm called ARTUµ serve as the co-pilot, providing assistance during the flight.
