The Paris, London and Dubai airshows may get the big business and billion-dollar deals, but aviation enthusiasts will tell you that the greatest airshow on Earth takes place each year at the end of July in the Wisconsin town of Oshkosh. For a week, the town’s Wittman Regional Airport becomes the world’s busiest airfield, drawing some 10,000 pilots who fly in on their planes and camp next to the runways underneath their planes' wings, along with more than 600,000 other visitors.

"Mark Johnson designs new jet engines for living, a process than can take half a decade or more. But this week he’s working around the clock inside a hangar in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, racing to build a functional plane in just seven days. “As soon as I saw the opportunity pop up, I thought about it for maybe an hour and said, ‘I'm going to go do it,’” he says. “I was excited. It was going be a new experience for me.”

Ladies And Gentlemen, Start Your Engines: The Greatest Airshow On Earth Takes Place This Week In Oshkosh

There’s a brass plaque hanging on a redbrick wall in downtown Oshkosh, Wisconsin, dedicated to the woodworkers who once animated this quiet midwestern town and turned it into the “sawdust capital of the world.” The sign is a nice touch, but there’s no need for Oshkosh to live in the past. The lumber mills and sawdust are mostly gone, but there’s still plenty of wood — as well as steel, aluminum, carbon fiber and other materials used for building planes — buzzing through the air, especially in summer.

New One-Of-A-Kind Turboprop Engine Delivers Jet-Like Simplicity To Pilots

November 12, 2017
GE Aviation’s Paul Corkery became a leader of an engineering revolution three years ago when he and his team started building an aircraft engine from large sections that had been 3D printed as one piece. They used additive manufacturing methods, a catchall label that includes 3D printing, to combine 855 engine components into just a dozen parts. The simpler design reduced weight, improved fuel burn by as much as 20 percent and gave the engine 10 percent more power.
