Their official launch wasn't planned for weeks, but Aireon, a McLean, Virginia-based company made headlines in March after it provided critical flight data to the Federal Aviation Administration that led to the agency's decision to ground all Boeing 737 Max jets.

Federal air marshals have for years been quietly monitoring small numbers of U.S. air passengers and reporting on in-flight behavior considered suspicious, even if those individuals have no known terrorism links, the Transportation Security Administration said on Sunday.

Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto were found to shave seconds from the time a driver was distracted compared to the "infotainment" the car came with.

An aging airliner crashed Friday shortly after takeoff on a domestic flight in Cuba, officials and Cuban news media reported, leaving more than 100 people dead in an accident that highlighted the precarious state of the country's commercial aircraft fleet.

The pilot's voice was calm yet focused as her plane descended, telling air traffic control she had "149 souls" on board and was carrying 21,000 pounds - or about five hours' worth - of fuel.

One person died and seven others were injured after an engine blew apart, sending shrapnel into the plane and forcing a Southwest Airlines flight to make an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday.

The Vehicle-to-Vehicle system would, for instance, tell a car to brake when another vehicle is about to run a red light, and potentially help save lives.

The NTSB preliminary report released Tuesday draws no conclusion about the cause of the May 7 crash that killed Tesla test driver Joshua Brown, 40.

The agency said it has launched an initial research program to evaluate drone detection technology at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The Washington region shut down Friday as a winter storm of history-making magnitude that may paralyze the area for days swept in with the prospect that it would last for 36 hours and leave more than two feet of snow in some places.

A man draped in an American flag was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after he jumped the fence of the White House while the First Family was inside celebrating Thanksgiving.
