Also: KSMO's Oldest Flight School, India’s Aviation Boom, 2.5 Millionth Young Eagle, Air Antilles Kaput Wills Wing recently announced that production of all hang gliders will pause effective May 15, 2026. The decision comes amid unresolved uncertainty surrounding ownership and authorization of key intellectual property connected to the Wills Wing brand and its Mexico based operations. The situation traces back to 2021, when Wills Wing revealed plans to close its longtime California manufacturing facility after 48 years in operation. According to findings reviewed by military investigators, a Major pilot preparing for his final flight before reassignment wanted to capture memorable in flight photos during the mission. Another pilot agreed to help stage the shot. What followed was a split second decision that carried a very expensive consequence. Lockwood Aviation’s Rotax-powered RV-9A concept has moved out of the attractive spec sheet phase, with builder Frank Owens’ RV-9A logging its first round of flights on May 7. The initial report was exactly what builders want to hear: “great, no squawks.” All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!

Also: NASA Armstrong, DART Aerospace, UAE Regulator And Archer, Uncrewed Aerial Logistics The Solar Impulse 2, a long-range experimental aircraft, crashed in the Gulf of Mexico when it lost power during an unmanned test flight on May 4, a report from the NTSB said. There were no fatalities or injuries. The NTSB said the aircraft suffered a loss of power before crashing into the ocean. It was completely destroyed. No one was on board. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Northrop Grumman, has flown the XRQ-73, a hybrid-electric, unmanned experimental aircraft. The flight occurred at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. in April 226 as part of DARPA’s series hybrid electric propulsion aircraft demonstration (SHEPARD) program. The FAA has issued a proposed rule that would allow specific categories of critical infrastructure sites to apply for restrictions on drone operations around their facilities. The restrictions would be submitted and approved via a new FAA web portal. Approval will be based on safety or security criteria. Sixteen sectors would be eligible for restrictions, including energy production, transportation systems, chemical facilities, water treatment plants, and defense industrial complexes.

Zenith Aircraft Company is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its original STOL CH 701 "Sky Jeep"Design. Zenith Aircraft has been manufacturing SportPlanes in Mexico, Mo., since the early 1990s, operating in a niche corner of the market specializing in all-metal, high-wing and low-wing light sport airplanes that customers assemble themselves. The company traces its origins back to aeronautical engineer Chris Heintz, who began designing light aircraft in the 1970s. U.S. aviation fuel prices continued trending higher in April, with sustained increases nationwide as the war in Iran and ongoing instability in the Middle East continued to influence energy markets. National JET A full service averaged $8.05 in April, representing an increase of $0.41 (5.3%) compared to March. Excluding Alaska and Hawaii, Lower-48 JET A full service averaged $7.97, up $0.38 (5.0%) compared to March. The FAA was notified that a tail skid featuring a J-shaped, hook design manufactured by AirKit LLC under Part Number 16316, has been installed on FAA type-certificated Cessna 172s. This discovery was made following an incident on a Cessna 172 instructional flight in which the aircraft experienced a minor tail strike. During the strike, the tail-skid bracket bent backward and upward, penetrated the rudder’s bottom skin panel, and subsequently jammed the rudder.

"The controversy surrounding AOPA over recent months did not emerge from nowhere. It did not materialize because of internet rumor, social media hysteria, or “misunderstanding.” It emerged because thousands of aviators became deeply uncomfortable with actions, decisions, secrecy, and behavior that struck at the very heart of institutional trust. Trust is aviation currency. Without it, airplanes do not fly safely, businesses do not prosper, organizations do not endure, and leaders do not retain legitimacy. What made this meeting so revealing was not merely what was said—but what was avoided. Before the meeting even began, the tone had already been set. Recording was prohibited. Attendance rules had previously generated widespread criticism. Question formats were tightly controlled. Speaking opportunities were limited. While limited photography was permitted, the overall structure clearly communicated that this was to be a managed proceeding, not an open reckoning. Technically, none of this amounted to censorship. Practically, however, it unquestionably had a chilling effect. And everyone in the room knew it."Source: Just a portion of a recent ANN editorial about what we saw, experienced, and came to understand as a result of attending the recent AOPA Public Meeting, in Frederick, MD.

A Witness Sitting In The Breezeway Of His Home Observed The Airplane In A Left Bank With A Nose Down Attitude Before It Impacted The Ground On April 13, 2026, about 1308 eastern daylight time, a Beechcraft 58 multi-engine airplane, N2063G, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near New Market, Tennessee. The flight instructor and the commercial pilot were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. The commercial pilot, and airplane owner, was receiving an instrument competency check from the flight instructor when the accident occurred. A preliminary review of ADS-B data revealed that the airplane departed runway 26 at Knoxville Downtown Island Airport (DKX), Knoxville, TN, about 1241. It then proceeded northeast before turning to the southeast toward the BOTRE intermediate fix associated with the RNAV GPS RWY 10 instrument approach procedure to the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport (GKT) Sevierville, Tennessee.

With airline demand surging and fleets growing rapidly, Skyborne’s new Florida based programme could become a major launchpad for the next wave of Indian aviators. A new chapter is opening for aspiring pilots in India, and it feels like the kind of shift aviation watchers will be talking about for years. Proteus Flight School has trained thousands of pilots at Santa Monica Airport, outlasting competitors and weathering regulatory shifts that shuttered other operators at the field. But its future is uncertain now as closure of the airport hangs in the balance. Founded in 1996, Proteus is the oldest continuously operating flight school at the airport. It has since expanded to a primary location and a maintenance and instruction hangar. Volocopter has unveiled the VoloXPro, an all electric ultralight multicopter that feels less like science fiction and more like the first real glimpse into aviation’s next everyday reality. Built from the foundation of the company’s proven VoloCity platform, the VoloXPro blends modern technology with a refreshingly human approach to flying. It is aimed at everyone from flight schools and flying clubs to sightseeing operators and aviation enthusiasts eager to experience what electric aviation truly feels like from the pilot seat.

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): First Kits to Ship October 2023 Having formerly resurrected the storied shape of the Ryan ST—in effigy, anyway—Montrose, Colorado-based Timber Tiger Aircraft has plied its considerable expertise and experience to the revival of the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company’s JN-4—a World War I-era biplane known colloquially by generations of pilots and aviation enthusiasts as the Curtiss Jenny, or simply, Jenny. In point of fact, Timber Tiger has purchased the rights to sell Dennis Wiley’s Early Bird Jenny design as a kit. It should be noted, however, that while Wiley’s Early Bird Jenny was a 67-percent scale replica of Curtiss’s 1915-vintage military-training biplane, Timber Tiger’s kitted Jenny is a 75-percent scale facsimile.
