Issue #56 - July 2013

On sale 26 June 2020, it's our annual Future of Flight edition! Five big ideas take to the sky - from swarming drones to VTOL commuters planes. More after the jump!

Our massive flight feature looks at how we'll get around in the sky in the years ahead, and yes we'll check in on the status of the flying. Plus we take a look at a new generation of diesel-powered aircraft...

Elsewhere we've given the mag a bit of a Sci-Fi flavour. Our favourite authors check in with postcards from the future - variously near- and distant-future. Is your favourite author represented?

Then we test the science behind the latest crop of blockbuster movies, from Man of Steel to Star Trek and more. How much fact has inadvertently crept in among the fiction?

And then there's our usual collection of science and technology goodies - including a special report on a major Australian company that's riding high on the worlds stage - literally: they maintain almost every supertall skyscraper you've heard of. 

We hope you enjoy the issue!
