Certification came through in spring 2026 for something pilots of small planes have wanted for decades. Shark Aero’s Shark 600 now carries the first active turbulence-cancelling system approved for a light aircraft.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed sets the stage for McLaren’s next release, the 788HS, which is promoted as the final iteration of a mid-engine V8 supercar line that began with the 720S in 2017 and has since included the 765LT and 750S. The 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 delivers 777 horsepower, a 37-horsepower improvement from the 750S. Not that it counts, but the torque remains at 590 pound-feet, and the engine continues to spin at 8500 rpm.

It will be released on August 1st, with the finished model measuring over 12.5 inches tall, 15 inches long, and 15 inches wide with the aperture door open.
A walk through the trees turned up more than expected a few years ago. One person spotted a plastic Nintendo 64 cartridge half-hidden on the forest floor. Its paper labels had vanished completely, leaving no hint of what game sat inside. The finder brought it home, then passed it along to someone who fixes old consoles for a closer look.
Storage prices keep rising, and portable options often force awkward choices between size, speed, and practical daily use. Verbatim built the 1TB Pocket SSD, priced at $179.99 (was $299.99), to sidestep those compromises with a design centered on actual carry habits rather than spec-sheet bragging rights.
