Could the Boeing 747 have been used as a aircraft carrier? This and other concepts were what made the aircraft the most studied airframe in Boeing history.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the start of flight tests on the Boeing 747 in February 1969, Australian Aviation is republishing Ellis Taylor's report from the April 2010 edition of the magazine on the first flight of the latest, most recent variant of the iconic aircraft, the 747-8, in February 2010.

Boeing has embedded its own staff at companies in its supply chain to support efforts to increase the production rate of the 737 to 57 aircraft a month.

Boeing has released images of its autonomous passenger air vehicle (PAV) prototype making its first test flight at its Manassas, Virginia facility.
