NTSB Identified 31 Accidents Between 1982 And 2020 Attributed To Carbon Monoxide

The NTSB has called on the FAA, (for the second time, no less) to require carbon monoxide detectors in general aviation aircraft, the agency said in a safety recommendation report released this week.

Revised Aircraft Sports Refined Styling, Design, Ahead of Production

Czech sustainable aviation manufacturer-to-be, Zuri, has announced the first evolution of its aircraft. The new Zuri in the works is currently designated within the company as ZURI 2.0, with a dedicated freight version, the Zuri 2.0 CARGO. The concept takes the original hybrid VTOL aircraft and adds recent developmental experiences gleaned since last summer's tech demonstrations and hover testing. The 2.0 will see tweaks to some of the fundamental parameters of the Zuri 1.0, including aerodynamic profiles, control systems, required power output, and styling. The new aircraft is slated to offer more variety in its trim levels, including a VIP version that seats 3 in comfort, a 4-seat Executive, and the aforementioned freight hauler.

Twin-engine European Workhorse Ceases Production, Capping 47 Years of Service

The last of the Dauphin family of helicopters has left the factory, with more than 1,100 built since its introduction 40 years ago. Throughout its life, the type has racked up more than 7 million flight hours across 70 countries. The AS365 has been superseded by the Airbus H160, but will likely remain in service for decades more. The final Dauphin was delivered to the Spanish Customs Service, where it will join the 2 of its brethren in their duties: maritime patrol, tracking and intercepting smuggling watercraft, and seizing contraband. Spanish Customs Surveillance stands watch over the Strait of Gibraltar, the Alboran Sea, and Galicia, offering plentiful smugglers to chase down.
