An excellent achievement, and a well executed test campaign. It was great to be part of a brilliant team that made this happen. Thank you to my Airbus, AirTanker and Royal Air Force colleagues.

This week, a Voyager from @RAFBrizeNorton got airborne with recycled waste oil powering both engines. The flight, using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel, marks another technology first for @RoyalAirForce alongside our industry partners. #JetZero

What is one thing you seasoned pilots would offer as advice to aspiring pilots? Asking for a friend. ☺️

@mmsBA @scottiebateman @DavidJonesGB @BoeingAirplanes Think you’ve nailed it. Reducing Vmcg and Vmc are the good reasons to move engines inboard. But having the mass outboard is good for wing relief, and having separation between engines is good for airflow. Not sure about burst zones though - not a big difference.

My #wingfriday this week is a really unusual concept built by @BoeingAirplanes to be the first iteration of the 747. This two tier #aircraft was dumped in favour of moving the flight deck to a hump…allow freight to be loaded through the nose. The rest is history. #WePilots

@eggsinasquare You’ve bitten. I knew you would. PR.XIX is better looking than that. I am the final arbiter of these things

In the hangar today, Rob and Dean are fixing a Griffon magneto. They also made the rig to set up the timing!

@rml2rpd Hello Roger. Thanks for your question. I know that there are designs that look at the advantages that a hybrid or electrical power solution. One of these is the concept of distributed propulsion - that you can have many small electrical motors...
