What do you think the role of AI will be in aviation?Jeppesen ForeFlight has introduced the first of hundreds of planned artificial intelligence agents for its Airflow aviation operations platform, designed to help airlines improve efficiency, reduce costs, and manage operational challenges while keeping humans in control of critical decisions. Unveiled at the company's commercial aviation users conference in Paris, the initial applications focus on three areas: Trip Trading, which simplifies crew schedule exchanges; Target Mastery, which helps airlines optimize crew assignments and scheduling; and Augmented Ops Control, which evaluates and ranks options for responding to operational disruptions. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Airflow uses aviation-specific data, established safety management principles, and transparent reasoning that allows operators to understand the basis for its recommendations. ...

According to AIN, Heart Aerospace quietly decided about two years ago to replace its four-nacelle ES-30 hybrid-electric regional airliner with the new 36-seat ES-36, returning to a series-hybrid architecture in which two 1.65-megawatt electric motors drive the propellers while dedicated turbogenerators produce electricity in flight rather than mechanically driving the props. Heart says the redesign will carry six more passengers and 1,415 pounds more payload than the ES-30 at the same roughly 40,000-pound maximum takeoff weight and battery capacity, while retaining a claimed 125-mile all-electric range and extending hybrid range to as much as 745 miles with some payload tradeoff. CEO Anders Forslund said the company reverted to the series-hybrid concept after determining it had found a workable path to developing and certifying the challenging turbogenerator system, while the recently flown X1 demonstrator was intended mainly to validate the airframe, batteries, and flight-test process rather than the final propulsion configuration. Heart is now building an X2 pre-production ES-36, targets its first flight in the second half of 2028, and is aiming for FAA Part 25 certification and entry into service in 2031.
