About our Aerospace & Defence news

Latest news on Aerospace and Defence, covering military technology, commercial aviation, space exploration, aircraft manufacturers, and defence industry updates

The aerospace and defence sector, valued at over $1.2 trillion globally, encompasses commercial aviation, military aircraft, space technology, and defence systems. Key players include Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and Northrop Grumman, alongside emerging private space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin.

Recent developments in the industry focus on sustainable aviation, with major manufacturers investing in electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft. Military aerospace has seen increased emphasis on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and artificial intelligence integration. The space sector continues to expand with lunar missions, Mars exploration, and the growing commercial space tourism industry.

The industry supports millions of jobs worldwide and drives technological innovation across sectors. Local communities near aerospace hubs benefit from high-skilled employment opportunities, while universities and research centres collaborate with manufacturers to develop cutting-edge technologies. The sector also plays a crucial role in national security and defence strategies.

The modern aerospace industry traces its roots to the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903, followed by rapid advancement during both World Wars. The Space Race of the 1960s spurred unprecedented technological development, while the end of the Cold War saw increased focus on commercial aviation and private space ventures.

Our NewsNow feed provides real-time coverage of aerospace and defence developments, from breaking news about aircraft orders and defence contracts to updates on space missions and industry innovations. Stay informed about this dynamic sector through our comprehensive coverage from leading aviation and defence journalists, industry experts, and authoritative sources worldwide.
