Summary

Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. Writers from the Aviation Week Network also took home six honors at the 2018 Aerospace Media Awards in London.

In 2015, Anselmo and his team spearheaded a digital initiative that provides subscribers with fresh content every day via mobile phones, tablets, or desktop computers. To mark Aviation Week’s 100th anniversary in 2016, the publication’s entire archive – more than 440,000 pages of articles, images, covers and advertisements – was digitized into a searchable online archive. Aviation Week also has accelerated its push into digital media with regular podcasts, videos, data features, infographics and eBooks.

Anselmo has more than 25 years of experience as an editor and reporter with Aviation Week, Congressional Quarterly and the Washington Post Company. He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.

Boeing is providing the strongest indication yet that it will not re-engine its 737 narrowbody jet as CFO James Bell says the company has determined that a new engine would provide only a single-digit improvement in efficiency once the cost and weight gain from a new design are factored in, far below the 15-20% that airlines are likely to be seeking. “Our customers have not shown a real interest in a re-engined airplane,” Bell said in a presentation this week at the Morgan Stanley Global Industrials conference in New York.

Boeing says first 787 deliveries to launch customer All Nippon Airways will now take place around February 2011, rather than by the end of this year as had been planned. Confirmation of the delay, issued late in the evening (Pacific time) on Aug 26, comes in the wake of an uncontained failure of the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine during ground runs early in August at the company’s Derby facility in the U.K.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates’s bold move to slash Pentagon overhead costs (p. 20) is overshadowing a smaller but important initiative by the government to hand off more work to private industry. On Aug. 6, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) awarded 10-year contracts totaling $7.3 billion to two publicly traded satellite operators to supply imagery for the U.S. intelligence community and Defense Department. DigitalGlobe Inc. of Longmont, Colo., received a $3.5-billion award, while GeoEye Inc. of Dulles, Va., won a $3.8-billion contract.
