The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a plane made in the USA with two engines. It is a jet plane with straight wings. It was constructed to go after tanks, vehicles with armor, and other targets on the ground that don't have the ability to defend themselves against airborne offenses. It's other name is "Warthog" or simply "hog".
Throughout time bombers have been the main influence on the field of battle. These are the cream of the crop. Check out the best 10 bombers from history.
According to Boeing, the company has recently retrofitted fighter jets that have since been retired and transformed them into drones. Last week an F-16 that was stored for 15 years in an Arizona facility flew last week with the cockpit empty. The Lockheed Martin aircraft was controlled from the ground by two pilots of the US Air Force. The drone took off from a base located in Florida and flew over the Gulf of Mexico at 40,000 feet (12.2kilometers). The retrofitted jet reached Mach 1.47 or 1,800km/h (1,119mph). Boeing said that this innovative approach could one day be used in pilot training particularly when they are provided a target for firing practice. This F-16 is not the first former fighter plane to be re-commissioned as a drone. An F-4 Phantom was used for target practice by the American Air Force in the past.
Here we present to you the top ten fighter planes of World War 2. This list intends to strike a balance between performance and technology with service record and value during wartime.
The biggest RC plane was made by three Belgian men and these three were included in Guinness Book of Worlds Records for their invention. The plane has an area of 8.9 meters, engine is 160 cc and it has weight of 210 kg. It is fabricated on a measure of 1/5 of the B29. The RC plane is huge and can carry three people to soar in the sky.
On October 1965, pilot CJ Stoddard delivered a uniquely shaped bomb onto North Vietnam to commemorate the six millionth pound dropped. This bomb was special because of it's load: it was a toilet bowl :).
The art of war has since evolved especially in the past two decades. In the 21st century the Air Force of any country has become the backbone of its defense strategy. The Air Force is now an integral element in ensuring a country's security from invasion of other sovereign states. The general agreement is that with evidence of clear air dominance no other country will dare strike a particular territory. The past twenty years has seen numerous advancements in flight technology and in aeronautical engineering. These days, fighter jets are not just faster and more capable of advanced maneuvers. They are also better equipped and have more capability for waging war. Now, electronic warfare is the norm and communications are radar have improved by leaps and bounds. These fighter planes are also designed with better visual range and increased missile range. In addition there is greater availability of a wider range of weapons that can be carried by supersonic jet planes. At this moment, the evolution of fighter jets is still ongoing. Scientists are currently hard at work to create jets that are not only stealthy and difficult to detect but they aspire to build better ones that are virtually impossible. Here, we have made for you a compilation of the top ten fighter jets that are being used by armies all over the world. The list is based on the following criteria: evaluation of the jets performance in warfare and their advanced features.
In Los Angeles, California an unidentified flying objects were seen over the skies in late February, 1942. Just 3 months after the Pearl Harbor, the US military was keen on identifying the enemy aircraft. It was just a few months after the United States entered the stage of war and so the military launched into an anti-aircraft barrage using artillery. Before this incident in LA, a Santa Barbara production facility was fired upon by a Japanese I-17 submarine. When the unknown flying object was spotted over LA, the ground & naval troops on the West Coast were on high alert. Air raid sirens were turned on and blackouts were ordered. Anti-aircraft shells weighing 12.8 pounds were fired at the unidentified objects by the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade. There was a lot of damage to buildings and there were three fatalities as well-civilians who died of friendly fire. At first, people believed that Japan sent an aerial unit to attack the city. Later it was mostly attributed to "war nerves." The UFOs were determined to be imaginary, or possibly a weather balloon or a blimp. Since the mystery was never solved, others think that it was a psychological warfare technique which the Japanese employed using a fire balloon. There are still a few who believe that the object was extra-terrestrial in origin. What do you think UFO or military tactic?

"LEMV" Project Cancelled

The Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle HAV 304 was created to run at twenty thousand feet for up to 3 weeks and go in a radius of 2000 mines to help give assistance to troops on the ground. The military spent almost $300 million on getting this created, and then got a refund from the producer for just a small amount of what they paid for, just around $300,000....

U.S. Military Will Install Laser Turrets On Next...

It was something from a Star Wars movie before, but now the military is installing lasers in airplanes. These lasers were developed to defend the plane from threats like rockets and missiles coming at the plane. This is just an idea right now, but plans for this are serious and will be seen most likely in 2014....
