Summary

The Franco-German fighter jet dream just died—FCAS is officially scrapped after nine years, right as the Berlin air show kicked off. In its place, eight German firms launch “Team Gen 6” with a new jet proposal, while Airbus seeks a leaner, military-focused design for the mid-2030s. Meanwhile, a humpback whale named Timmy drifted 200 km before dying, sparking debate over whale relocation. Germany’s inflation dipped thanks to fuel rebates, but recovery remains glacial. And in Hamburg, a man’s accidental emergency exit triggered chaos, delays, and evacuations—flights are back, but the mess lingers.
