The  world's largest aircraft , coming from the house of Paul Allen's Stratolaunch Systems, with advance look. Stratolaunch just tested engines of its massive aircraft.                 STRATOLAUNCH SYSTEMS CORP. The twin-boom, or dual fuselage design allows for a large central mounting point to be designed between the two fuselages. The lateral loading distributions can remain symmetrical, and thus avoid large rolling moments. The payload mounting point appears to be located near the Mean Aerodynamic Chord of the Aircraft. This is an extremely ideal design for an air cargo carrier. Stratolaunch ultimately aims to use its megaplane as a launch platform to provide low-cost access to low Earth orbit. The company, founded in 2011, has designed the aircraft to carry rockets up to a certain altitude, where they would detach and fire engines to complete the rest of its space journey. E ach of the 3 wing sections can have a shorter len...

Consumer court has directed Jet Airways to pay a city resident Rs 41,500 as compensation for damaged luggage and serving meat while flying with them five years ago. Gopinath, a resident of Girinagar, was flying from Doha to Bengaluru via Mumbai in May 2013, when Jet Airways staff refused to let him carry his luggage to the cabin. While Gopinath claimed that the luggage weighed within the permissible limits of seven kilograms, the airline disputed it. The airline allowed their passengers to carry up to 40 kilograms (as check-in baggage), but only luggage weighing not more than seven kilos was allowed inside the flight. When Gopinath tried to enquire with a manager if his luggage was within the permissible limit, the manager said to have ill-treated him and spoke inappropriately. He said he lost the joy of travel after the rough treatment meted out to him. Later while flying, he discovered that the food served to him contained meat despite booking vegetarian. Gopinath claimed ...

Brent and WTI have respectively fallen by 5.5 percent and 7.5 percent from peaks reached earlier in May. Share prices of oil marketing and aviation companies rallied between 3 percent and 20 percent after sharp correction in crude oil prices from 2018 high. IOC, HPCL and BPCL shares gained 8 percent, 6.7 percent and 6 percent, respectively while Jet Airways (up 6.7 percent), SpiceJet (up 13 percent) and InterGlobe Aviation (up 3.3 percent) also participated in the rally on hopes of lower aviation turbine fuel prices. Crude oil prices have been falling after hitting $80.50 a barrel (on May 17, 2018), the highest level since November 2014. The correction in oil prices was on signs that output from the three top crude producers, Russia, the United States and Saudi Arabia, would climb to meet concerns about supply amid strong demand.
