The entire design and acquisition history of the A-4 is fascinating. Heinemann taking a bloated Navy nuclear bomber spec and turning into a single-engine, dinky airframe that could lift its own weight and last for 40 years in service. Up there with Kelly Johnson in my opinion as an aircraft designer and project…
"If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing." - Gen'l. Chuck Yeager
Useless tidbit of information: sleeping quarters in space need to be well ventilated and air kept moving. Otherwise, the sleeper’s expelled breath forms a bubble of carbon dioxide around their head.
Yeah, they are composites so you basically end up with a bunch of string. They break but not many pieces fly off.
THANK YOU someone who actually knows what they are talking about..... this plane does NOT belong on this list
It wasn’t killed at all, though. It completed testing, and they took the lessons learned to the Aeroelastic Wing demonstrator that just wrapped up testing last week.
They did decide not to complete some of the tests that showed certain behaviors to be dangerous, but that’s because this was a research aircraft, not a…
I could see the Girl Scouts' Trefoil cookie working as a badge. Its a Saul Bass design, too.

You know a rally stage is insanely fast when the codriver has to tell his driver to "be brave."
Check the top right corner, it's Inyokern Airport.
It's Inyokern.
How have any of us neglected to include the keystone to Honda's presence in North America?
Why did you turn...half an hour ago?!?!
Eyes forward on the track. Allow the car to respond, don't mix your inputs and if all else fails, deny deny deny.
VIR is about 6 1/2 nautical miles east of Danville Regional and about 3 NM northeast of the RNAV (GPS) approach path for runway 31. It's plausible that if the aircraft suffered an engine failure on approach, the crew might have seen VIR's back straight as a very enticing emergency landing field. From the south…
The Fokker E.I. Basically the first semi-modern fighter plane, it was a tractor-configuration monoplane with (the first synchronised) front-firing machine guns.
Newtons a bitch. Gotta throw stuff backwards to go forward and nothing throws shiat faster than some sort of asplosion ie Rocket.
