Plane Videos and Articles

You might not be aware, but the Allied pilots during the second World War called the mysterious things they saw in the air over Europe and the Pacific "Foo Fighters". They first saw these in late 1944 when planes operating in German airspace saw quick circular objects that seemed to glow in pursuit of their planes. They described these as being on fire and orange, white, or red. They were even described as looking like the lights you'd put on your tree at Christmas. Tried as they could, they couldn't fly away from these lights or shoot them down. Of course with all the technological advances of the time, these mysteries were taken seriously by the military since they might have been some top secret weapon created by the Nazis or the Japanese. The best scientists of the time tried to figure out what they were, but it was never solved. Unfortunately the military has never released this top secret information the the public, so it remains a mystery.
The US Senate has taken up the vote to cut down military spending, as a result of which the F-22 fighter, worth around $350 million is directly affected. Below is a list of aircrafts used by the military and their hefty price tags.
For the first time a fighter jet (the X-47B) was launched from the surface of an American aircraft carrier. The carrier was a drone which has no human pilot on board. According to defense analyst James Lewis, these unmanned crafts are powerful key in the upcoming fights and wars. According to Vice Admiral Buss aka Navy's Air Boss, the drone is a significant and important impending assimilation of unmanned systems and nuclear powered aircraft carrier that can control and defeat their enemies. The launching of the trial flight of the drone (X-47B) on Tuesday can finally make a way for the US to release the unmanned aircraft anywhere and anytime in the whole world. The U.S. military will no longer require military bases in other countries to launch their planes since the unmanned fighter can be the answer to their air support need. Thoughts?
F22 might have a new friend in the sky Either of these planes have what it takes to succeed: sigint, maneuver superiority, CAP, electronic warfare etc. It could be complicated to compare T50 with F22 at this stage. We need to see them in action on a battlefield to declare a clear winner.
Check out these amazing flybys from all the corners of the world. Hats off to all the Air Force pilots. Keep up the good work.
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.
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.
