The Sunday Flight Check: five questions, five anagrams
Take a break with our first Sunday reader challenge. Test your news-reading instincts, untangle five aviation words and catch up on the week’s bigger ideas.
1. The five-question flight check
No technical expertise needed. Choose one answer for each question, then check your score.
2. The hangar word puzzle
Rearrange the letters to solve five aviation-themed anagrams. Each clue gives you a helping hand.
3. Your Sunday reading list
A little more time? These three pieces connect the terminology to decisions, technology and everyday costs.
- Why fuel prices are rising—and what drones have to do with it — an explainer using evidence checked on 23 September.
- One word, very different roles: understanding “drone” — a starting point for readers new to the subject.
- The UK–Ukraine AI competition — our 26 September report on access, funding and unanswered questions.
Question to take into the next week: when you see a striking number in a defence headline, does it describe a plan, an order or an actual delivery?
