The stabilizers also keep the plane level. (See How Airplanes Work to find out how these components work together.) The B-2 bomber has a completely different design: It's one big wing, like a boomerang. This flying wing design is much more efficient than a conventional plane. Instead of...
It is less expensive to manufacture, and a bomber can carry more of them on each mission. Making a Better Bunker Buster To make bunker busters that can go even deeper, designers have three choices: They can make the weapon heavier. More weight gives the bomb more kinetic energy when it...
A main charge, the primary explosive that's the big guns behind the blast. Unexploded landmines fit the bill. A container to hold everything together. The container may be designed to force the blast in a specific direction. Additional components packed in the device may include projectiles for...

Electric vehicles are quietly crushing old stereotypes about being delicate or unreliable, and the data now backs it up in a big way. According to Germany’s ADAC — Europe’s largest roadside assistance provider — EVs are actually more reliable than their int...
An H-6 can accelerate to just below the speed of sound at 640 miles per hour, but usually cruises at 488 mph. But like B-52 and Tu-95s, H-6s remain useful because they can fly far carrying lots of big missiles that are launchable from far beyond the reach of the target’s air ...
