Skyfly has confirmed it will have its Axe SN001 on static display at the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo 2026, which will be held from April 14-19. Skyfly will also display its motion-cueing virtual reality flight simulator to be used in flight testing and demonstrations. UL100E has checked an important box on the long road towards ditching leaded avgas, with ASTM International publishing the first formal specification for the fuel. This makes UL100E an officially defined product and allows full FAA and manufacturer testing to continue. The fuel has been co-developed by LyondellBasell and VP Racing Fuels. As aviation’s traditional opening act, the 52nd Annual SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo, in collaboration with the Aero-News Network, will once again frame the year ahead with the 2026 SUN ’n FUN Innovation Preview (SnFIP)—a live news event dedicated to defining what comes next. The event will air LIVE on Monday, April 13, 2026 at 1600 ET, featuring more than 20 major aviation organizations. Distribution will occur simultaneously across SUN ’n FUN, Aero-News Network, and affiliated platforms. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
