Aviation Week & Space Technology
Encyclopedia : A : AV : AVI : Aviation Week & Space Technology
Aviation Week & Space Technology (often abbreviated as
Aviation Week or
AW&ST) is a weekly
magazine which reports upon the state of the
aerospace industry. It is renowned for striking a good balance on reporting between
manufacturers and their clients (
airlines,
governments, etc.) When reporting on factual information,
Aviation Week is generally considered to be accurate. The magazine also does a large amount of analysis, which is necessarily speculative.
Aviation Week is not normally categorized as a "fan" magazine, and is often seen on the desks of enthusiasts, investment professionals, and aerospace industry professionals alike. The magazine annually publishes its
Aviation Sourcebook, which catalogs aircraft fleet status of the major airlines,
air forces/
navies, and
satellite operators.
Jane's Defence Weekly and
Flight International are the major competitors for
Aviation Week.
In the past the magazine had a reputation for its contacts inside the Pentagon. More often than not, new information on black projects, future prototypes and the like would be divulged to it unofficially, giving it the nickname "Aviation Leak" or "Av Leak".
Aviation Week is owned by McGraw-Hill.
