Angus Batey has been contributing to various titles within the Aviation Week Network since 2009. He has reported from military bases, industrial facilities, trade shows and conferences, on topics ranging from defense and space to business aviation, advanced air mobility and cybersecurity.

BAE Systems is unveiling a new model at the Airshow which offers clues about the company's collaborative work with Dassault on an Anglo-French unmanned combat air vehicle.
If the Typhoon BAE Systems test pilot Nat Makepeace is flying at the Airshow this week seems a little different than before, there's good reason. The aircraft's weapons fit represents the latest evolution of the Eurofighter capability set.
