ATTENTION EDITORS - VISUAL COVERAGE OF SCENES OF INJURY OR DEATH Wreckage of the Airbus A320 is seen at the site of the crash, near Seyne-les-Alpes, French Alps March 26, 2015. A young German co-pilot locked himself alone in the cockpit of Germanwings flight 9525 and set it on course to crash into an Alpine mountain, killing all 150 people on board including himself, prosecutors said on Thursday. French prosecutors offered no motive for why 28-year-old Andreas Lubitz apparently took the controls of the Airbus A320, locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately set it veering down from cruising altitude at 3,000 feet per minute.

A hybrid aircraft, that is part helicopter, part airplane and has the potential to change civil aviation, takes its first flight in Arlington, Texas, March 7, 2003. Texas-based Bell/Agusta Aerospace Co. said its BA 609 tilt-rotor aircraft flew at an altitude of about 50 feet (15 meters) in its first test flight. The aircraft has engines that pivot 90 degrees so it can take off vertically like a helicopter then fly horizontally like a plane. "The first flight was flawless, the 609 performed exactly as we knew it would," said [Roy Hopkins the Bell/Agusta test pilot at the controls of the aircraft.]
