NOT a 'green' story! picked by topofall 2 years ago

the F-35B has apparently been able to deliver some 41,100 pounds of thrust using its lift fan and downward-pointed jet exhaust - enough to support more than 18 tonnes in a hover. Project engineers say that the jumpjet needs only 40,550 pounds to meet its performance targets. picked by Bornbad 7 months ago

The 1950s was the decade of the test pilot and the experimental aircraft, as aviation technology turned to the jet engine and pushed its limits in both speed and endurance. With the world divided in Cold War, the stakes were high. Jet aircraft dominated both U.S. and Soviet arsenals and the data returned by subsonic and supersonic test flights had implications for the coming space race as well. picked by deEPCHIll 1 year ago

Astronomers at the University of Rochester have discovered five Earth-oceans’ worth of water that has recently fallen into the planet-forming region around an extremely young, developing star. picked by misswinkle 2 years ago

Lockheed Martin's advanced Skunk Works unit is designing the next generation of supersonic aircraft -- a luxury private jet that will travel at Mach 1.8. It may seem curious that domestic supersonic travel doesn’t already exist, but it’s been the pesky sonic boom that accompanies supersonic flight that has prevented development in this area -- until now. picked by polycat 1 year ago

Flying at more than twice the speed of Concorde and five times the speed of sound, this hypersonic airliner is set to be the future of modern air travel. Looking like a supersonic passenger plane from Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds, the revolutionary aircraft with a top speed of 3,400mph aims to fly between London (or Brussels)and Sydney in under five hours. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A widely circulated photograph shows an Air Force Raptor 22 jet breaking the fabled sound barrier while performing aerial maneuvers in the Gulf of Alaska.

The phenomenon is not well studied. Scientists refer to it as a vapor cone, shock collar, or shock egg, and it's thought to be created by what's called a Prandtl-Glauert singularity. picked by Bingo 5 months ago
