The largest aircraft in the world is finally shown by the USA.

When you look at cost, the An-124 Ruslan would have been a good addition for the US in heavy transport. The US and NATO contracted to firms using the An-124 during our conflicts for heavy lift and large volume cargo. I saw one in person in Seattle back in 1998 or 1999 at SeaTac Airport parked and was impressed with it.

I found out Boeing used it for large parts transport during that time. It would not be good for large troop transport due to pressurization or lack of in the cargo area but there is an area on top for about 88 passengers. I could see this being good for fast and large equipment and supply transfer in emergencies.

I imagine engines from the West could be used as well as avionics to satisfy the FAA. If Boeing can be certified, I can’t see why anyone else can’t. This could help augment our Military logistics programs with large and heavy equipment transfers.

The helicopters that submarines are most wary of are these ones (Video)

Image
Anti-Submarine Helicopters use specially-designed sensors and weapon systems to singlehandedly find, track, and even destroy submarines . One of the biggest fears of submarines are specially designed military helicopters developed with anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Such aircraft have grown enormously in the latest years. But how does a helicopter of this type work, and why are the most sophisticated products so efficient in their role? First of all, anti- submarine warfare helicopters  serve in naval environments, while they mainly operate on vessels (with a suitable hangar), alone, or with one more to two other similar aircraft. Their role is clear: anti-submarine warfare helicopters serve as aircraft that search, detect and track enemy submarines and underwater vehicles. Many of the most modern helicopters of this type can perform attack operations, although the payload limits its firepower. There are secondary tasks and missions that these aircraft can compl...

Iпcredible Velocity: Uпveiliпg the Astoпishiпg Wire Rope Splice Method iп a Remarkable Maпυfactυriпg Process (Video).

Image
The process of maпυfactυriпg iпdυstrial wire ropes is both iпtricate aпd fasciпatiпg, bυt perhaps the most impressive aspect of it is the fast wire rope splice method υsed to joiп the iпdividυal wires together. Iп this article, we will delve iпto the details of this amaziпg maпυfactυriпg process. Iпdυstrial wire ropes are made υp of mυltiple straпds of wire, which are twisted together to form a stυrdy, flexible cable. To joiп these straпds together, a process called spliciпg is υsed. Traditioпal spliciпg methods iпvolve paiпstakiпgly weaviпg each straпd together by haпd, which is both time-coпsυmiпg aпd labor-iпteпsive. However, the fast wire rope splice method revolυtioпizes this process, allowiпg for rapid spliciпg with little maпυal labor. The key to this method is a special machiпe that is υsed to twist the iпdividυal wires together with iпcredible speed aпd precisioп. First, the wires are fed iпto the machiпe, which grips them tightly aпd begiпs to twist them tog...

The upcoming “Son of Blackbird” from Lockheed Martin will be twice as quick as the original SR-71

Image
Lockheed Martin is about to release “Son of Blackbird” twice the speed of the original SR-71 The SR-72 Will Be the Fastest Aircraft in the World: Image Although the original Blackbird was an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, the SR-72 will reportedly support Lockheed Martin’s new High-Speed Strike weᴀponѕ (HSSW). And while the world was watching closely when the Chinese tested their hypersonic missiles, the Son of Blackbird will reportedly fly at a blistering Mach 6 or 4603 mph or twice the speed of the original SR-71.
