NASA's new X-59 supersonic jet arrived this month at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works facility in Palmdale for assembly, ahead of a flight test expected this year. NASA’s X-59 is designed to fly at supersonic speeds without making sonic booms. Instead, because of its shape, it is expected to produce quieter sonic ‘thumps’ that can barely be heard on the ground. The company’s Fort Worth facility is where the F-16 was built for many years. Test equipment still available needed some modifications to handle the X-59’s longer nose compared to the F-16, but those changes didn’t get in the way. #6thgenerationfighter #shorts #aircraft #airforce Source:  Military Equipment

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine,  all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions.  Billions of dollars have been expended on the development of the F-35. Apart from being too expensive, the F-35 is also technologically advanced and is currently the pinnacle of aircraft technology. We think the F-35 is the coolest fighter jet ever to take flight, and here's why. Source: Military Equipment

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is the first Air Force aircraft specially designed for close air support of ground forces. They are simple, effective and survivable twin-engine jet aircraft that can be used against light maritime attack aircraft and all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles.

They're making a propulsion system that burns hotter to increase efficiency, which means more power, longer range, and reduced CO2 emissions. This is the Dreadful U.S Air Force Aircraft: https://youtu.be/0SQ0hf2R3BU Team Tempest revealed that they are currently developing some very innovative technology that will be used by Britain's Royal Air Force  by the year 2035. Although little is said about what technology Rolls is developing, it's safe to say that the tech will be even more impressive than their 2,000 hp yacht engine.  Source:  NATIONAL DEFENSE
