The speed of the new aircraft was to exceed 2,000 mph. Other planes of the era could, in theory, approximate that speed but only in short, after-burner-driven bursts. This new plane needed to maintain a record-setting speed for hours at a time. At such velocity, friction with the atm...

However, in many cases, low-cost plane fares are still cheaper than train tickets, especially in Europe. High speed rail infrastructure is costly to build, especially in the U.S., which has historically stalled on these types of projects. On the other hand, Asian countries like China and ...
At the core of its newly designed engine is the world’s lightest V8 crankshaft. The flat-plane 180-degree crankshaft weighs only 12.5 kilograms: it allows Jesko to produce more power with greater efficiency while achieving a higher 8500 rpm. ...
Auto Credit Based on Fluffiboo's [ENDED] Challenge: fastest prop plane With just 132 drag points compared to the usual thousands, this aircraft can travel at 750mph at level flight. This is just a demonstration aircraft I made for my fastest prop plane challenge. ...
on the roll axis. I guess I'm an old-school guy, a bit of a purist. I actually savor the human aspect of soaring. We could get to a point where I could send my plane up a hill with some friends and just log in and find out how fast it went, but where's the fu...
When Breedlove made his record runs on August 5, a camera plane followed above, capturing the historic moment. (The Beach Boys later recorded a hit song in tribute to the feat, called “Spirit of America.”) When told he was now the fastest man on earth, Breedlove said he had not used...
