Textron

Textron Aviation has confirmed it will end production of the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Baron G58 after nearly eight decades of continuous manufacturing. The company cited low shipments for both models in recent years as a factor in the decision.

Textron Systems has been awarded a prototype agreement by the US Army under the LASSO program, marking another step in the Army's push to field portable loitering munitions. The Damocles loitering munition system will be delivered and demonstrated, with a focus on its VTOL-launched effect and autonomous search-and-strike capability.
