At Rotation, His Rotor Speed Was Marginal, And The Rotor Blades Began To Flap Before Contacting The Gyroplane’s Tail Analysis: The pilot of the gyroplane began the takeoff roll and attempted to build rotor rpm. He reported that at rotation, his rotor speed was marginal, and the rotor blades began to flap before contacting the gyroplane’s tail. The pilot then lost control of the gyroplane, and it impacted the runway and rolled onto its side. The fuselage and tail of the gyroplane were substantially damaged during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the gyroplane that would have precluded normal operation.

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.

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!!!

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.

Also: Airventure Voted Tops, Banyan Promises No World Cup Fees, Spirit Parked, Drone Protection The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed the Maverick Act of 2026 to preserve the last three F-14 Tomcats for public display and educational purposes. Congressman Abraham Hamadeh (R-Ariz.) introduced the Maverick Act of 2026, a bipartisan bill to preserve the last three F-14 Tomcats. The legislation is a companion to a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.). The Maverick Act of 2026 creates a narrow exception to the post-retirement restrictions that have destroyed nearly all F-14s. New Bureau of Transportation Statistics data shows that US airlines spent just over $5 billion on fuel in March, giving the industry a painfully clear look at what the current fuel spike is actually costing it. More than 75,000 flights have already been cut from the summer schedule in response to the price surge… and it may only get worse from here. A New Hampshire FAA employee is on the federal stand after allegedly emailing a very obvious death threat to President Donald Trump. This appears to be the last step in a pattern that drew Secret Service attention months earlier. 35-year-old Dean DelleChiaie, from Nashua, New Hampshire, was charged with interstate communication of a threat after prosecutors saw an email he allegedly sent to the White House on April 21.

Also: Remembering Dan Fordice, Skyborne Expands, Anti-Drone Pilot Program, Governor Grounded New AOPA Board Chairman Luke Wippler kicked off the May 12 meeting in Frederick, Md., saying he has taken on the role with the “heavy weight of gaining your trust, support and continued membership. “I recognize we need to rebuild your trust,” Wippler said. Still; the current leadership refused to offer proper transparency about the past and instead explained it wanted to concentrate on the future... Hal Shevers, 90, founder and longtime chairman of Sporty’s, a pioneering force in pilot training and a beloved leader in the aviation community, died Tuesday, May 12 in Florida. Shevers life’s work shaped the landscape of general aviation for more than six decades. The MD-11 is back in the air… though not quite back in regular service yet. A short FedEx test flight marked the first step towards the trijet’s return-to-service after last November’s fatal accident left the jet grounded. FedEx’s MD-11F completed the test flight out of Memphis on May 9. The aircraft, N621FE, departed Memphis International Airport at 5:39 pm and returned at 6:53, earning a little over 70 minutes in the air.

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 2014 (YouTube Edition): A Bit Of History Lovingly Restored To The Sport Aviation World ANN's Michael Maya Charles had to search around at EAA AirVenture 2014 to find this story. The Aeroplane Factory building was one of the original exhibition halls back in the days before the term AirVenture was invented and it was simply referred to as The Oshkosh Fly-In. The Aeroplane factory is no longer a star exhibit Hall, but what Michael found inside was the soul of EAA. If you could pinpoint a starting place for the formation of EAA you would find it a little airplane called the Baby Ace. Paul Poberezny acquired the rights to the Baby Ace design and published a full set of drawings in 3 issues of the Mechanics Illustrated Magazine in 1955. It could be said that this is the foundation upon which EAA was built.
