2021 was a dynamic year for aviation, featuring the successful return of major airshows like EAA AirVenture and the Reno Air Races.
Key achievements included Wally Funk's historic space flight at 82 and significant advancements in electric aviation, with Rolls-Royce setting speed records and Joby Aviation achieving eVTOL milestones.
The year also saw the unveiling of new aircraft models such as Gulfstream's G400 and G800, alongside a new ownership for *FLYING* magazine.
