The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The result of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter program, the aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities.[6] The prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22's airframe and weapons systems and did its final assembly, while Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training
By the end of World War I the world was beginning to realize the ability air combat presented. When World War II started planes became much more effective. Though still fabric covered, the aircraft were faster and more agile than the variants used in the Great War. In 1938, the first year of the Second World War, Curtiss unveiled their P-40 Warhawk. This aircraft was one of the best of its time and laid the foundation for modern aircraft engineering. But by 1940 the German Luftwaffe had begun to develop faster, long-ranged fighter-bombers. All current Allied aircraft could not keep up with the long range of the B-17 bombers who needed escort. In 1940, North American Aviation received an order from Britain requesting another shipment of
In today’s world, the use of airplanes in wars or in everyday life has become a part of how we live as human beings. Removing the air forces of the world is like taking a step back in time when wars were only fought on land or sea. WWI began only eleven short years after the Wright brothers achieved powered flight in 19031 and yet aircrafts were being used for surveillance and eventually combat purposes. It is understood that these aircrafts were primitive, but they laid down the foundation for what we know today as fighter jets. The Fokker Eindecker “revolutionized air combat by successfully employing a synchronized forward -firing machine gun mounted on the engine cowling”2. Because this airplane became the first to successfully use a synchronized machine gun, it allowed its pilots to become the first aerial combat tactitions3.
The P-51 Mustang is regarded by many sources as the greatest fighter plane ever created. With the technological advancements this plane achieved, to it’s service record, to it’s importance in winning World War Two, the Mustang is truly one of the greats. The Mustang played a key role in long range bomber support and saved countless bomber crew’s lives, and pilots loved to fly it. The P-51 had the most aerial victories of any American fighter in World War Two and it was flown by some of America’s top aces. The P-51 was a beast of a fighter plane
F-111 created by James Rosenquist was created in 1964 which was made in the middle of one of the biggest 86 foot long panel to ever wrap around the four walls of the Leo Castelli. Rosenquist was inspired by advertising pieces and photographs by older artist that in his studio of artwork that was displayed on the floor. While his work was displayed on the floor he would examine the paintings and all the colors displayed and see the full range of colors allowed him to see his vision. Rosenquist took as his subject the F-111 fighter bomber plane, which is the newest, most technologically advanced weapon in development at the time, and positioned it on billboards and by earlier mural scaled paintings such as Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. He positioned his main subject, which was in advancement at the time, flying through fragmented images of buyer products and also
Hawker Hurricane was one of the most successful and significant fighter planes in World War 2. Its success was closely tied to its advanced yet simple design, straightforward and quick adaptive controls, and its unprecedented performance in the Battle of Britain which earned Canada international recognition for their success.
It all started on December 7th, 1941. America had entered their Second World War following the Pearl Harbor attacks. America started its Pacific Campaign against the Imperial Japanese Army. After three years, America joined with fellow allied nations and invaded Nazi- Occupied France codename Operation Overlord. This was the biggest amphibious invasion ever recorded. From Pearl Harbor to the fall of Berlin in the spring of 1945, the American bomber plane helped defeat the Nazi regime, end the war in the Pacific, and revolutionize modern warfare.
...would be determined only after a comprehensive review of possible implications. Moreover, as stated in the 1994 Defence White Paper, Canadian involvement would have to be cost-effective, make an unambiguous contribution to Canadian defence requirements and build upon missions already performed by the Canadian Forces, such as surveillance and communications. Also, Canadian involvement would be predicated on the proposed system being compliant with the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, or an updated treaty negotiated with Russia, as well as other arms control and disarmament agreements, protocols and arrangements.
...ary wing aircraft, someone decided to create such a mix of elements to execute such a wide range of missions is truly remarkable. The members of the 123rd Aviation Battalion should be proud of the mission they performed and the lives they impacted while fighting in Vietnam. The 123rd Aviation Battalion’s history and achievements have brought great credit to the Army and Army Aviation.
The Boeing 737 is one of the most popular aircraft ever produced. Over 7700 in all variants have been produced, with an additional 11,275 aircraft on order. This makes the 737 the most popular jetliner to date. The 737 has a wide variety of uses, and still remains extremely popular and under high demand. Because it is such a widely mass produced aircraft, it is also a target for constant aerodynamic improvements. Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights, to the reduction of small gaps in the airfoil. This has created an aircraft that is extremely aerodynamic and efficient at any task it performs.
Spitfire, the best fighter plane in the Battle of Britain and loved by many people. The spitfire was fast enough to take down several german planes before they could react to try and take down the spitfire. This was a great leap to germany and hitler’s downfall for WW2. Also the spitfire used to be the most popular model plane made. There are many more facts that will be in the next few paragraphs.

Tomcat ever bit the air. In the late 1960's, the U.S Navy decided to decided
In 1990 Boeing was set to introduce the 777, the world’s largest and longest haul twin-bodied jet at the time. The 777 would serve the medium and long haul markets like the expanding Asian market. Boeing’s main competitors, Airbus Industries and McDonnell Douglas, had already announced plans to produce airliners that would compete directly with the 777. Analysts believed that the intense competition between the manufacturers would serve to depress prices for the airliners. Lower prices for aircraft would mean lower earnings.
In the past, the Airbus A320 is the best aircraft of the Airbus Company. It is can also flying across the continent for long distances. And In 1990, the Airbus Company decided to have a project to increase the number of aircraft for competing with other companies. So in 1994, the Airbus Company analyzed business-marketing opportunities; they decide to build a new larger aircraft, so in 2000, they official started the production of a brand new Airbus A380, which, was planned to be the world’s largest passenger aircraft, and also included 2 decks feature. The Airbus A380, once finished, came to revolutionize modern technology and industrial production. The Airbus A380’s parts and components were all produced and manufactured in countries around Europe. For example, West Factory made the wing, which comprises of more than 32, 000 pieces, from Broughton, England. A factory, in State, Germany, made the vertical tail. And the most important component of an aircraft, the cabin and fuselages, were made in Hamburg, Germany. The cabin comprised of 2 decks, each with 3 different class arrangements, and 525 standard passenger seats. The metal parts are manufactured with a new type of aluminum alloy and employ the usage of laser lights to seal the connections, making it sturdier and harder than the commonly used pin and knots. After the parts are all manufactured, it is then shipped to Toulouse, France, for assembly. The Airbus A380’s first flight took place in Toulouse, France, on April 27, 2005. And then it made its first Trans-Atlantic flight to Medellin, Colombia. In January 10, 2006, the company decided to test the engine’s performance at an airport located at a high altitude. These are some reasons why a lot of airlines choose to use the...
