Yakovelev has formally launched the MC-21-210, a shorter variant of the MC-21 narrowbody, with its first flight expected towards the end of 2028.

Retaining the systems of the larger MC-21-310, the -210 will feature reduced seating capacity (around 140–150 passengers), which has been traded for improved range.

The Spanish Navy has acquired five recently-retired USMC Harrier IIs for spares recovery purposes. Having rejected the F-35B as a replacement, Spain will be forced to keep the Harrier operational for the forseeable future, with the Italian Navy set to retired its last Harriers by 2029. Airbus has been contracted to overhaul the fleet , using airworthy second-hand components if necessary, in order to keep the Harrier in service until at least 2032.

The Collings Foundation has returned McDonnell Douglas F-4D Phantom 65-0749 (presented in markings of 66-7680, the mount of Col. Robin Olds) to the air after a 7-year overhaul. The aircraft flew out of Ellington Field, in Houston, Texas for a 40-minute sortie, which included two touch-and-gos and a full-stop landing, allowing pilot Harry Daye to regain currency on the aircraft. The aircraft is expected to be a star performer in the American airshow circuit.

NASA’s X-59 supersonic research aircraft has gone supersonic for the first time, a key milestone in a test programme aimed to usher in an era of civil supersonic flight over land.

During the 81-minute test flight from Edwards AFB, NASA test pilot Jim 'Clue' Less flew the aircraft to 43,400ft, reaching a speed of around Mach 1.1. The test focused on the aircraft’s handling qualities at subsonic and supersonic speeds.
