Aircraft owners and pilots often bemoan the lack of new technology in aircraft engines and complain—accurately—that most airplane engines are basically 1960s tech. But as Paul Bertorelli points out in this video, it’s not for lack of trying. And it’s not necessarily the new engine itself that fails to get traction, but the company’s support—or lack thereof.

Key Takeaways:
- Aircraft engines are largely based on 1960s technology, a common frustration for owners and pilots.
- The slow adoption of new engine technology is not due to a lack of innovation attempts, but rather the insufficient support provided by the companies developing them.
