Flight International has an all-new look - its first in six years. Improved signposting, a cleaner, simplified cover and a host of references to additional material on flightglobal.com are just some of the elements of the redesign.

We've kept everything we know our readers know and love about the magazine - authoritative reporting, global, multi-sector coverage, cutaways, flight tests and in-service reports. But we think the improvements will make Flight International easier to navigate and allow readers to access a world of free, added-value stories, videos and archives on the web.

The issue itself has a major investigation into how aviation is facing up to the enormous environmental challenges - both technical and legislative - of the next decade. Will the industry be able to clean up its act...and how?

Aimee Turner and Steve Trimble have spoken to policy-makers, engineers, green campaigners, airline bosses and aerospace industry leaders.

There is also a cutaway and programme update on the Alenia Aermacchi M-346 and a look at the wave of all-business class airlines setting up service on the lucrative north Atlantic market. Are they getting big enough to prove a threat to the majors?

Plus, in news: how the C-27J triumphed in the US Joint Cargo Aircraft contest and why GE dropped out of the race to power the Airbus 330-200F.

In news: why the Airbus A350 is getting a nose job and why the US Air Force is thinking stealth rather than speed for its new long-range strike aircraft. The UK Royal Air Force’s Tucano and Grob trainers may finally be on the way out and Alcoa offers Boeing aluminium-lithium alloys to help the 787’s weight problem.
