USA Finally Unveils The World’s Largest Aircraft

Image
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 Spruce Goose: one of the largest aircraft ever built in aviation history

Image
The year 2022 has marked several special anniversaries. It has marked 50 years of the BMW M division of course. But one other anniversary that is worth celebrating is the 75th anniversary of the first, and only flight, of the Hughes H-4 Hercules. Better known as the Spruce Goose.   The year 2022 has marked several special anniversaries. It has marked 50 years of the BMW M division of course. But one other anniversary that is worth celebrating is the 75th anniversary of the first, and only flight, of the Hughes H-4 Hercules. Better known as the Spruce Goose. The Spruce Goose remains the largest flying boat ever built and one of the largest aircraft ever built in aviation history, and it was of course the works of Mr Howard Hughes and his Hughes Aircraft Company. Spruce Goose Hughes has always been one of the most fascinating figures in the aviation world, and the Spruce Goose was perhaps the pinnacle of his aviation achievements. Yet this remarkable aircraft, designed orig

Be Astounded By Russia’s Most Deadly 6th-Gen Jet

Image
The Russian Military aircraft design bureau Mikoyan Gurevich has since the 1940’s been building many famous Military aircraft, some of the aircraft being real stallions in terms of speed. Two of these are the MiG-25 and the MiG-31 which has both been capable of speeds of over Mach 3.2 and 2.83 respectively. MiGFlug offered both for flights in the past, read more here. Now there have been rumors that MiG is trying to do it again – building a superfast interceptor. Image The current name of the project is MiG-41 with speeds projected to be of over Mach 4.0. Image According to the famous Russian experimental pilot Anatoliy Kvochur, the MiG-41 is to be capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 4.3 (about 5270km/h or 3270mph).

THE WORLD’S FASTEST BOMBEГ: THE XB-70 VALKYRIE

Image
By the mid-1950’s, the United States had developed a state-of-the-art, all jet-powered ЬomЬeг foгсe. The newly introduced Boeing B-52 Stratofortesss could reach the Soviet ᴜпіoп from just about anywhere in the world. The soon-to-be-introduced supersonic Convair B-58 Hustler could dash to supersonic speeds. Both aircraft were engineering marvels. But even so, they were expected to perform рooгɩу over Soviet airspace. The B-52 flew too slowly to ѕtапd a chance аɡаіпѕt the latest generation of Soviet interceptors, while the supersonic B-58 lacked the required range and payload to be truly effeсtіⱱe. The U.S. Air foгсe needed a next generation ЬomЬeг that would combine the capabilities of both these aircraft. A plane that could fly at supersonic speeds, travel long distances and carry large payloads. To meet their new ЬomЬeг requirements, the Air foгсe contracted leading aerospace companies to exрɩoгe radical new technologies, like пᴜсɩeаг powered jet engines for extending aircraft r

The F-35 Lightning II is gradually becoming a centerpiece of the U.S. Armed Forces – and the forces of its allies. But before the F-35 entered production and proliferated, it had to win its place in a head-to-head com Pet ition with another fighter concept: the Boeing X-32. In the 1990s, the U.S. spearheaded a monumental contract com Pet ition – the Joint Strike Fighter, or JSF. Boeing X-32 The JSF stood apart from the fighter contracts that had been issued continuously for decades. It marked a drastic shift in the structuring of U.S. air power. X-32: One Jet to Rule Them All Throughout the Cold ധąɾ, airframes were designed to do one thing and do it well. For example, the A-10 was built to provide close air support. Not interception, not air superiority, not precision bombing – close air support was the job, and nothing else. Boeing X-32 Naturally, the A-10 has proven to be an exceptional provider of close air support. Similar examples abound. The F-15 was built

Supersonic Bomber “Big Monster” Built to Overcome Anything

Image
Designed to fly at high altitudes and at supersonic speeds, the United States Air Force‘s Convair B-58 Hustler was actually the first operational bomber capable of Mach 2 flights. The B-58 was developed in the 1950s for the Air Force’s Strategic Air Command (SAC), and relied on speed as its primary defense. The thinking at the time was that with an aircraft that flew fast enough and even high enough, the enemy couldn’t shoot it down.  The B-58 B-58 Hustler: A Bomber with a Purpose  For its time, the B-58 Hustler was revolutionary in many ways.  The B-58 It featured a radical delta wing shape, but it also included sophisticated inertial guidance navigation and bombing system, as well as a slender “wasp-waist” fuselage and extensive use of heat-resistant honeycomb sandwich skin panels in the wings and fuselage.  The B-58 However, the thin fuselage limited the ability to carry a bomb internally and instead was fitted with a two-component pod beneath the fuselage.

Top Secret Anti-Gravity Spy Plane – TR3b Black Manta

Image
In the case of the TR-3B Black Manta, it means a craft that uses highly pressured mercury accelerated by nuclear energy, so that plasma is produced, which, in turn, creates a field of anti-gravity around the craft. It has an electromagnetic coil at the heart of it’s motive power system, the result of which is electromagnetic drive that interacts with the Higgs-Boson field at the quantum level.     Heady stuff indeed! So, an anti-gravity aircraft doesn’t use conventional turbine or rocket engine technology, but instead a propulsion system that creates thrust by generating high-energy plasma. These aircraft are also referred to as ‘flux liners’. As with many divergent aviation technologies, anti-gravity technology dates back to the latter part and aftermath of World wᴀʀ II, and specifically the covert U.S.project known as Operation Paperclip. The objective of Operation Paperclip was for the U.S. to gain as much leverage against the Soviet Union in the military armaments technolo

The Real Reason Why America’s Enemies Still Fear M1 Abrams Tank

Image
The U.S., China, and Russia are pretty much the three premier militaries in the world either due to technological superiority or sheer numbers and force projection capability. None of these countries have the best equipment in all categories. The M1 is not easy to kill, even for a T-14 or Leopard 2, but it’s probably inferior to both overall. But so what? Tank battles like those in WWII won’t happen again. They’ve gone by the wayside like dogfights. The U.S. hands down owns the air, so that would be why Russia and China don’t bother trying to keep up with offensive aircraft. They can’t. They build really good radar and defensive missiles though out of necessity. If they fail to knock out the USN or USAF over a battlespace, their tanks are quite frankly worthless. AC-130s and A-10s can loiter for hours and are virtually undetectable or armored like tanks themselves (respectively) and would make very short work of T-14s. All three militaries approach war differentl

Meet the “beast” who developed the most powerful ground strike ever

The A-26 Invader first flew in July 1942. The design was a successor to the Douglas A-20 Havoc, an aircraft with similar roles and layouts. The Douglas A-26 bomber, also known as the B-26, is the only American bomber that had participated in three major wars: World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. A-26 This is without a doubt a very successful US Military aircraft, with more than 2,500 produced. It could also act as an attack aircraft. A range of guns could be fitted to produce a formidable ground-attack aircraft. The A-26 Invader first flew in July 1942. The design was a successor to the Douglas A-20 Havoc, an aircraft with similar roles and layouts. Flight tests revealed excellent performance and handling, but engine-cooling problems led to cowling changes and elimination of the propeller spinners on production aircraft.
