Wichita Eagle
Employees at a Textron Aviation building in southwest Wichita, Kansas, returned to work after an evacuation that was the result of 911 dispatchers receiving a report of a possible bomb threat.
Sedgwick County sheriff's Lt. Lin Dehning said dispatchers received a phone call at 8:30 a.m. and the caller reported overhearing a "conversation that there could be some type of bomb threat" at Textron building known as the Prospect building, near K-42 and Hoover.

Imagine being a serious aircraft buff, surrounded in your workplace by thousands of planes ranging from the biggest and baddest bombers to experimental models that never made it to full production. That's the case with many of about 700 workers who report to the the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group's facility — also known as The Boneyard — to restore planes, remove parts and work demolition.

The FAA's long-awaited ADS-B rebate program is now online, and despite a few first-day glitches with the system early that were quickly smoothed out, it's been getting plenty of takers. "We're up to 1,360 applicants as of the end of the day," David Gray, the FAA's program manager for ADS-B, told AVweb. It's hard to predict if that rate will continue, grow or decrease, Gray said, but he added it's in the best interest of aircraft owners to start the process sooner rather than later.

NavWorx says it is working to resolve an issue with the FAA, which is refusing to process $500 rebate reservations for two models of transceivers the company makes. The agency is telling those who bought ADS600-B 200-0012 and 0013 models that they don’t qualify for the rebate because they are not fully in compliance with FAA TSO 154c that covers certification of ADS-B Out devices. The more expensive devices with model numbers ending in 0112 and 0113 do qualify.

Over the past 60 years, NASA has been involved in several X-plane experimental aircraft programs that have demonstrated technologies that changed the way aircraft are designed, such as supersonic flight and swept wings — as well as some that could yet change the way aircraft look, including flexible wings and electric propulsion. We take a look at NASA's X-planes and their contributions. See more on NASA's current New Aviation Horizons initiative to build a series of large-scale X-planes over 10 years to demonstrate technologies for future ultra-efficient subsonic transports.
