How we write

Which sources do we use?

We start with the people who make the technology and the records that track it:

• The company itself: official product pages, order pages, press releases and filings.
• Regulators and public records, such as aviation authorities, safety agencies and company registers.
• Research and reference press: universities and labs, peer-reviewed papers and established news outlets that tested or reported on the product.

Each article lists the exact pages it used under "Sources."

How do we handle prices, dates and specs?

Prices, launch dates and specifications are copied from the company's own page or from reference press, read on the day the article is written or updated. When the source is a plan or an estimate, we say so. Prices change, so always confirm on the seller's page before you buy.

How do we tell a product from a concept?

A product is something you can order or rent today. A prototype is a working machine that is not for sale. A concept or render is a picture of an idea. Every article says which one it is talking about, and rumors are labeled as rumors.

How do we check a viral video or ad?

We look for the company behind it, check whether it still exists and whether the product ever shipped, and compare the claims with the physics and with what similar machines can do. We report what the sources show, such as "the company closed in 2021" or "the product never reached the market," and we don't accuse anyone of fraud without a source. We don't link to the fake ad or page, and we describe the video instead of copying it.

How is AI used?

AI tools help with research and first drafts. A person, Marcos Salles, reads the sources, checks every fact and edits every article before it goes live. Read more on the About page.

What about headlines?

A headline should tell you what the article is about and match what it says. We don't use teasers that hide the answer, exaggerated claims or fake urgency.

Where do the images come from?

From free libraries such as Wikimedia Commons, used under their license terms, and from company press kits released for editorial use. The credit and license are shown under each image. Renders and concept art are labeled as such.

How often are articles updated?

When a company changes a price, a date or a plan, the article is updated and the "Updated" date at the top changes. We don't change dates for edits that leave the content the same.

Who decides what is covered?

Only the editor. The site may show ads served by Google; advertisers have no say in topics or content. There are no sponsored articles and no affiliate links.
