Boeing has overtaken Airbus in annual aircraft orders for the first time since 2018 after securing nearly 1,200 commercial plane orders in 2025. The US aerospace giant booked 1,173 orders last year, compared with Airbus’s 889, as Boeing shows signs of recovery after a turbulent 2024 marked by safety concerns and a prolonged labour strike.


Boeing Tops Airbus in Annual Orders for First Time Since 2018

Cosmic rays, not solar particles, shook the JetBlue flight that lost altitude in October, forcing Airbus to ground 6,000 more planes. A scientist says this is the most likely scenario and eerily similar to another incident recorded in 2008.

One of the world’s largest airplane makers said Friday that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to flight controls on a “significant number” of its most popular aircraft, prompting a swift response from several airlines.


How Solar Radiation Affects Airbus Flight System

A software rollback typically takes a few hours. By contrast, removing and replacing an ELAC is a maintenance task that needs a serviceable spare, certified procedures, and shop time, which can take days or weeks depending on parts availability and maintenance-station capacity.

Why some Airbus A320s need hardware replacement, not just a software patch

The problem is that intense solar and cosmic radiation at high altitudes can affect the working of the ELAC computer, which controls the elevators and ailerons. These are aerodynamic surfaces that are used to make the aircraft pitch up or down or roll to turn.
