Dragging the competition

19 January 2024 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Rendering of drag comparisons provided by ThinKom

Bolting a radome atop an aircraft means more weight, more drag, more fuel burn, and higher emissions. Those are all things airlines typically try to minimize. Which makes some recent conversations about drag differences all the more interesting.

Testing the next step for LEO-based IFC

13 June 2023 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

The new Stellar Blu ESA atop Intelsat's CRJ-700 test aircraft

On Monday afternoon a CRJ700 landed at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport near Broomfield, Colorado after more than four hours en route from Portland, Maine. Fortunately, no passengers found themselves enduring the “comfort” of that long ride in a little jet. But, thanks to the work happening on board, millions of travelers annually will soon have access to a better inflight Wi-Fi experience.

31 March 2023 By Jason Rabinowitz 20 Comments

For years Delta Air Lines highlighted its on-board content library as a valuable part of the inflight entertainment offering. Turns out scant few passengers streamed anything on shorter flights, however, and now the carrier is shedding that cost.
