The "Flying Bum" Will Be the World's Largest Aircraft. Sure, the Hybrid Air Vehicles Airlander 10 could be called “thicc.”
But the voluptuous airship could be the beginning of zero-carbon aviation. The Airlander 10, set to debut in 2025 by HAV and recently earning a “Flying Bum” nickname online, is a customizable, low-emission commercial aircraft that can stay airborne for up to five days. Its four combustion engines will reportedly deliver up to 75% reduction in emissions over comparable aircraft, though a hybrid-electric configuration may push that up to 90%. As currently configured, the airship will be able to ferry up to 100 passengers, who will have access to panoramic windows and a much quieter trip.
While the flights will be much slower than taking a plane, the Airlanders will be able to take off and land on their own level spaces, meaning you may not have to brave a traditional airport to get on one. List of surviving Republic P-47 Thunderbolts. Wikipedia list article Republic P-47D-40-RA Thunderbolt 45-49192 presented as P-47D-25-RE 42-26671 'No Guts-No Glory' (MX-X) of the 82nd Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group, nicknamed "No Guts-No Glory!

6 Fighter Jets You Can Buy for Less Than the Price of a Supercar. Provided by Courtesy Aircraft Jared Isaacman hit the headlines last year when he bought the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s treasured 1989 Cold War MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter jet.
Isaacman, who made a fortune with his credit-card processing company, is just 38. No one knows how much the accomplished pilot paid for the MiG, but right now there are five for sale on Trade-A-Plane.com in the US, ranging in price from $2.5 million—less than the sticker on a Bugatti Chiron supercar—to $4.65 million for a fully certified, fully flying 1986 model.
“There’s nothing like the thrill of flying any military jet. If you have the experience and the money, the investment is worth every cent,” says Steve Hinton, president of the Chino, Calif. Yahoo fait désormais partie de Verizon Media. Yahoo fait partie de Verizon Media.

Pilot stays with his flaming Harrier jet while it skids on its bombs in Afghanistan. Some planes are harder than others to fly, and it takes a special kind of pilot to fly the Harrier.
From the Royal Air Force to the US Marine Corps, the Harrier has been a mainstay since the Cold War, and was never really “user-friendly” or forgiving to the inexperienced. As such, the pilots of Harriers are often selected for their aptitude, ability to make quick decisions, and coolness under pressure. Such was the case in 2009, when a pair Royal Air Force Harrier GR.9 jump-jet fighters returned from a mission in Afghanistan, still laden down with bombs they did not drop during their mission.
Approaching Kandahar, one plane received a missile alert warning while on approach. Jetoptera VTOL aircraft design features "bladeless fans on steroids" One thing nearly all air taxi concepts share in common is fast-spinning propellers or ducted fans somewhere outside the aircraft's fuselage, pushing air to develop thrust whichever way they're pointed.
Not this one out of Seattle, though. Jetoptera's J-2000 concept is a remarkably different take on the VTOL inter-city aircraft, designed to make use of the company's own unique propulsion system. Much like the bladeless fans popularized by Dyson, there are no spinning blades to be seen on Jetoptera's "fluidic propulsion systems (FPS). " Mind you, as with the Dyson, there are most certainly spinning blades elsewhere in the system. Both devices rely on fluid dynamics to take a relatively small flow of compressed air, and use it to suck a much greater volume of ambient air through at speed. Focke-Wulf Fw 189 Uhu. The Focke-Wulf Fw 189 Uhu ("Eagle Owl") is a German twin-engine, twin-boom, three-seat tactical reconnaissance and army cooperation aircraft.
It first flew in 1938 (Fw 189 V1), entered service in 1940 and was produced until mid-1944. Design and development[edit] The Fw 189 was produced in large numbers, at the Focke-Wulf factory in Bremen, at the Bordeaux-Merignac aircraft factory (Avions Marcel Bloch's factory, which became Dassault Aviation after the war) in occupied France, then in the Aero Vodochody aircraft factory in Prague, occupied Czechoslovakia. Total production was 864 aircraft of all variants. Operational history[edit] The Cirrus G2 Vision Is the World’s Most Popular Jet for a Second Year. As broadly expected with the global pandemic, the 2,399 airplanes delivered around the world in 2020 fell short of 2019’s output of 2,658 by almost 10 percent, according to a recent report by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).
Secret Speed Racer Aircraft: Mysterious Drone Details, Testing. Smith Collection/GadoGetty Images Lockheed Martin will soon begin ground testing a secret new aircraft.The aircraft, known as Speed Racer, is an uncrewed aerial vehicle of unknown purpose.Lockheed designed and developed the aircraft using a process called digital engineering.
Lockheed Martin’s famous “Skunk Works” division will soon begin testing a secret new aircraft, according to Aviation Week. Lockheed designed the uncrewed vehicle, nicknamed “Speed Racer,” using an all-new digital engineering process known as StarDrive. The aircraft’s mission—if it even has one, other than validating the StarDrive process—is still a total mystery. The P-47 may not have been the sexiest American plane of World War II, but it was certainly the toughest. On the morning of June 26,1943, forty-eight P-47 Thunderbolts took off from from their base of operations in Eastern England. Slated to escort returning bombers heading away from occupied France, Lieutenant Robert S Johnson was doing his best to stay with the formation, being both a novice pilot and one with a tendency to do his own thing. Before arriving at the rendezvous point, the “T-bolts” were intercepted by 16 Fw 190s, striking from above with a hail of machine gun and cannon fire.
Scattering to avoid being ripped up by the initial ambush, many of the Thunderbolt pilots found themselves isolated from their comrades. Aircraft were flying in every direction, the roar of radial engines deafened by cannon fire and tracers streaking every which way. Before Johnson could even communicate with his flight, he was hit. 20mm cannon shells ripped through his plane, smashing the canopy and ripping holes through various parts of his plane. Unfortunately, it was far from over. Dassault Introduces Ultrawide-Body Falcon 6X Jet. The pegasus vertical business jet blends jet performance with helicopter convenience. Why the F-14 Tomcat Is Such a Badass Plane. August 1981 opened with a massive show of American force in the Mediterranean Sea, just north of Libya.
Two of America’s super-carriers, the USS Forrestal and the class’ namesake, USS Nimitz, had entered into what Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had illegally declared his nation’s territorial waters. America’s carriers were there to oppose that declaration, and for days, fighters from both countries danced in an airborne extension of diplomatic tensions until two U.S. fighters entered into a deadly dogfight. "The left side of the lead Libyan aircraft lit up with a big flame as the missile motor ignited," recounted Lieutenant Larry "Music" Muczynski, one of the two F-14 pilots.
That missile banked up, missing both planes and giving the American fighters all the impetus they needed to see what the Navy’s newest air superiority fighter could do. "He fired an AIM-9L off of station 1A (left glove pylon, shoulder station)," Music said of his fellow airman's first shot.

The Ekranoplan is one of the coolest machines designed to demonstrate the technological innovation of the Soviet Union.
Part boat and part airplane, this massive machine kicked ass. And now an Ekranoplan is being pulled from the Caspian Sea in order to be part of a theme park attraction. Here’s a little history for those of you who need to get caught up: Ekranoplans as a general idea weren’t originally intended for military use, but in the Soviet Union, the best way to gain funding was to demonstrate a new technology’s use in battle. Aside from being able to potentially carry nuclear missiles, Ekranoplans had other benefits. Air Force Pilot Lands C-17 With Nose Gear Up.
