Rolls Royce Looks To Give Mooney Turbine Power
British aircraft propulsion manufacturer, Rolls Royce, announced at EAA AirVenture today that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with US-based General Aviation aircraft manufacturer, Mooney, to discuss future applications for its new RR500 turboprop engine. This development could finally bring Mooney, known for their high performance aircraft, into the turbine single market. Rolls sees their 350 to 450 shp RR500 as an ideal fit for the "the light, fixed-wing general aviation s
Say this like Vinny Barbarino.. “It’s like…. so weird”
Keeping in mind that I am completely jealous of the man for owning 5 planes, having TWO jet-bridges attached to his house, one for his own personal 707… I just want you to remember this the next time John Travolta tells us we all need to “do our part” in dealing with global warming. Travolta makes appearance at EAA Oshkosh - Actor John Travolta says he loves flying planes as much as making movies. The 54-year-old flying enthusiast and pilot talked to reporters at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkos
Rocket Racing League Wants to be NASCAR in the Air
Car racing is so two-dimensional, and regular airshow races just don't have the zing needed to really hit it big. What do they need? Rockets, of course! Back in April, we previewed the Rocket Racing League, and this week they held their first exhibition flights at the EAA AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Racers pilot rocket-powered airplanes through a three-dimensional race course in the sky, combining speed and precision flying in a public display. The League has six teams so f
Speed Record Shattered By Nemesis
For years I have thought that the Nemesis NXT was THE sexiest piston racer in the sky and now Jon Sharp has flown this little carbon fiber beauty into the record books at Oshkosh. Yesterday he and his aircraft broke a speed record that had been in place for 19 years when they roared down Runway 18/36 during EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh covering three kilometers in just 18.75 seconds for a speed of 356 mph. This beat the previous 3Km C1-b Speed Blast category by 25 mph. Thousands of fans at AirVent

Rocket Racing, and no this is not Halo 3
The audience at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin got a first look at what some hope to be the next big thing in air racing. It would be even cooler than Red Bull prop-style racing, and that is pretty amazing in itself. A single aircraft, called the Mark-1 X-Racer, took to the skies to show off the design and capabilities of the new "rocket racers." The racer is essentially a single-seat Velocity homebuilt with a 1,500 pound thrust rocket engine attached. The Rocket Racing League had hope
Elite Find of the Day: The $100,000 Jetpack by Glenn Martin
Yes, this deserves a presence over here as it claims to be “the world’s first practical jetpack” by a New Zealand born Glenn Martin, 48. Not coming from the movies or comic strips, the $100,000 Jetpack made its first visibility at the EAA AirVenture, the colossal yearly air show. The flying gear is an out product of Glenn’s 27 years of efforts invested in developing such a device. Measuring five-feet tall, its rotors are sheathed in two bulky channels with an appeal that of a cupcake. Standin
Don't Miss the EAA AirVenture Seaplane Base
This past weekend I made a whirlwind visit to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh. I packed as much as I could into my twenty-four hours at the show. I intend to write more about the things I saw and experienced at AirVenture in the coming days. In the meantime I wanted to share an unexpected highlight, and also share a of my photos for those not able to make it to this years event. I have attended AirVenture several times in the past. Though, I have never departed from the main event at Wittman Regiona
Martin Jetpack
This is the first picture taken by Flight's own FlightBlogger of the new Martin Jetpack anywhere in the world. It performed a test flight at EAA AirVenture and Flight compiled video footage of it.
The Stuff That Dreams Are Made of ...
Buck Rogers and James Bond used jetpacks, and since the 1960s, several real jetpack designs have been built from metal, plastic and propellant. None has flown more than a minute. Now a New Zealand inventor, Glenn Martin, plans to unveil today what he calls "the world's first practical jetpack" at the EAA AirVenture, the gigantic annual air show in Wisconsin. It's personal flying taken to the very personal level. Martin, who has spent 27 years developing the devices, said he hoped to begin
