On a quiet Brazilian country airfield, Eve Air Mobility’s near-final engineering prototype accomplished something unprecedented. For the first time, the back pusher propeller was able to accelerate while in flight. That simple change marked the start of the transition phase, in which vertical rotor lift begins to give way to wing lift.
Smart just pulled the covers off its long-awaited two-seat city car months early, and the view is pure urban practicality. Murals painted across Berlin, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires and Melbourne gave the first clear look at the production #2. Chinese regulatory filings then filled in the hard numbers. Official world premiere still sits at the Paris Motor Show in October, with customer deliveries planned for 2027.
Polaris just handed the high-performance side-by-side world a new leader. The 2027 RZR Pro R Boost arrives with a turbocharged 2.0-liter ProStar Fury engine that produces 275 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 223 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm. That output makes it the strongest factory side-by-side available, clearing the previous marks set by the Kawasaki Teryx H2 and Can-Am Maverick R.
Passion Yachts set out to build something that feels like a proper house yet moves when its owners want a change of scenery. The Hausyacht 14 M delivers exactly that on a 14.3-meter steel hull. It slips through European canals and protected waters with ease while giving residents the kind of daily comfort most land homes only promise.
Delta expects to launch its new Delta One suites early in 2027, when the Airbus A350-1000 joins the fleet.
