An A380 being demonstrated at the 2021 Dubai Airshow. Photo by Airbus The A380 is the only full-length, double-decker aircraft in the world, capable of carrying over 800 people in comfort. In fact, it is the largest passenger plane ever built, as wide as 32 double-decker buses. And ...
The numerous engineering challenges involved in designing and developing the world's fastest electric aircraft have been solved by a relatively small team in a limited timeframe. The blank sheet design of the ESS and powertrain allowed for an appropriately optimised solution, swiftly moving into ...
The boat is fitted with a single Westinghouse J34 jet engine, which was used in various jet fighters and as a supplementary powerplant in larger aircraft such as Lockheed P2 Neptune in the 1940s and 50s. 15. Fastest Man – Usain Bolt Usain Bolt during the 2011 World Champions | Image C...
There are very many aircraft that has exceeded the speed of Mach 2.0. Some of them are research aircraft, some are military and some are simply flying for reconnaissance purposes. But there is always something special with supersonic aircraft. Just imagine flying at an altitude of 5 kilometres,...
Tom Cruise stars in "Top Gun: Maverick."Paramount Much like Tom Cruise or that other dude in "Top Gun," we occasionally find ourselves feeling the need for speed. Sometimes that means piloting an F-14A Tomcat aircraft with abandon in the skies, and sometimes, as we'll see later, that ...
The submarine was commissioned in 1970 and was armed with ten short-range anti-ship cruise missiles and four torpedo tubes to destroy American aircraft carriers. It was a part of the Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet in the 1970s; however, cracks in her hull led to an extended repair period...
“Hypersonics is an extremely challenging subset of the aviation industry and at the speeds that Hermeus will achieve, temperature, vibration, and aerodynamics play major factors in the flight of the aircraft,” said Benny Buller, Velo3D CEO and Founder. “There are ...
The engineering never stops at the powerplant when it comes to hypercar development. To achieve jaw-breaking speeds, you need the kind of aerodynamic tuning you would expect from an aircraft. Perhaps that is why Koenigsegg describes the Jesko Absolut as a “land-based rocket-ship determined to...
The SP80 and Syroco teams have both got their remarkable boats on the water. Looking like a pair of alien spaceships, and pulled by ultra-fast kites instead of sails on masts, both these machines are built to reach terrifying, unprecedented speeds.
ll make. However, it’s equally important to get the right vehicles. Some are better than others and there are cars and aircraft that’ll make your life easier. In this list, we’ve put together some of the best vehicles you can buy from the early to late game. Note: Though not ...
