Piper Aircraft has added a new model to its PA46 line - the M700 FURY—a single-engine, 700 shaft horsepower, cabin-class turboprop. Reportedly the next step in expanding their M-Class series, the M700 is powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engine, allowing for a maximum cruise speed of 301 ktas with a max range of 1,149 nm (at max cruise speed, 1,424 nm at normal cruise speed) while maintaining a 'Basic Med compliant' 6,000 pound MGTOW limit. Levil Aviation has introduced the 'Joy.' Described as 'not just another standard joystick' -- it is a flight control system that puts autopilot authority at your fingertips using wireless communication capabilities. The California Science Center has successfully completed what they call the only authentic space shuttle system display in launch configuration. Endeavour's installation in the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is the grand finale of the unprecedented Go for Stack process.
