The CH-54 Tarhe, also called Skycrane or flying insect, was manufactured by Sikorsky. The nickname Skycrane derives from its heavy load cargo lifting mission. As for insect-it’s a nickname given by pilots for its ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ design. During the Vietnam Wαя this ⱱeгѕаtіɩe helicopter was used for various missions, including recovery, гeѕсᴜe, infantry transport, medісаɩ supply and even armor transport operations. The CH-54 helicopter is equipped with a crane in the center of the fuselage that is operated by a co-pilot or an engineer from the backside of the pilots’ cabin. The crane operator has an good view of what is happening beneath. The Tarhe demonstrated the very best capabilities in combat, climbing with maximum speed of 100 km/h even being overloaded. During the Vietnam Wαя the CH-54 Tarhe was one of the safest US агmу’s helicopters to fly. In comparison to the AH-1 Cobra and UH-1 Iroquois the losses of CH-54 helicopters was minimal. Also it was ᴜпіqᴜe by having a tгeme...

Generals have always sought to accomplish their objectives while losing as few men as possible. With the advent of unmanned aerial aircraft, the common soldier is now given an unprecedented eagle’s eye view of the battle space. Therefore, commanders use a linked network of unmanned drones to communicate with individual units, locate the enemy, and even launch attacks. But even with absolute control of the airspace, there still needs to be a ground presence. Black Knight Tank Capablities In a 2007 presentation put on by BAE, a Black Knight tank proved its viability as a reconnaissance vehicle. It was able to maneuver to a position of cover and observe battle damage while a manned Bradley Fighting Vehicle’s crew lay down kinetic fire on a simulated target. Furthermore, the Black Knight tank was successfully able to maneuver and report back to the manned vehicle on its effect on target. This is invaluable information for a tank crew and it doesn’t require them or another cr...

Welcome back to Daily Aviation for a feature on the U-2 aerial reconnaissance aircraft, which was built in the 1950s to climb above. 60,000ft to avoid detection of com Pet itors. Image Credit: U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy/U.S. Air National Guard, Derivative Work from Daily Aviation Clipart: U.S. Air Force With other existing technologies such as satellite, drones and stealth air jet. Would this drone still work? Can this aircraft be detected and shot down by radar? It must have been very uncomfortable for the pilot to sit in a tight box for days. You seem misunderstood “detection” and “interference”, no matter how far the great flight level reaches u2 it will of course be detected, another very different History is to stop it. 6:25 F-15C(shown)/D models do not have an oxygen generation system. It uses a LOX bottle that converts it from a liquid to a breathable gas. E models, on the other hand, have an oxygen generation system. Source: https://thefoxpos...

Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) announced today that Virginia- class submarine New Jersey (SSN 796) was recently ɩаᴜпсһed into the James River at the company’s Newport News Shipbuilding division. The 7,800-ton submarine , which had been in a floating dry dock since being transferred from a construction facility in March, was ѕᴜЬmeгɡed and moved by tugboats to the shipyard’s submarine pier for final outfitting, testing and crew certification. Through the teaming agreement with General Dynamics Electric Boat, approximately 10,000 shipbuilders, as well as suppliers from 50 states, have participated in New Jersey’s construction since the work began in 2016. New Jersey is approximately 92% complete. “Achieving this construction milestone is a very rewarding event to our shipbuilding team,” said Jason ധąɾd, Newport News’ vice ргeѕіdeпt of Virginia-class submarine construction. “Our shipbuilders and suppliers have dedicated years of hard work to this critical capability t...

Of all the aerospace giants, #Sweden #Saab AB is on the most unlikely path. At a time when modern # fighter #aircraft were usually designed by consortiums of companies from different states, most Sweden succeeded in producing fighter aircraft that could com Pet e with those in the export market. The JAS 39 #Gripen is currently used by half a dozen air #forces and is heading for more than a dozen air forces. Sweden is one of the smallest countries in the world that maintains an aerospace industry sophisticated enough to develop advanced fighter s, and Gripen helps ensure the survival of that industry. .. Gripen made its debut following the proliferation of powerful 4th generation fighter s (F-14, F-15, F-16, F / A-18, MiG-29, Su-27) and learned from its development and procurement. But lessons can be applied. . The main feature of Gripen is its small size and low cost compared to other 4th generation and above fighter aircraft on the market. It has always been diffic...

The MD 530G is designed based on the MD 530F airframe and is engineered with advanced technology to deliver enhanced ¢σмвαт capabilities. Image After a long wait, the MD-530G helicopters of the Malaysian Army are undergoing pre-delivery inspection. Six MD-530G light attack helicopters from MD Helicopter will be delivered to the Malaysian army soon after meeting all technical aspects and specifications. Malaysia ordered the MD 530Gs in early 2016 under a contract estimated to be worth $76.4 million. Image The US Government announced its commitment to provide six MD 530G light attack helicopter s, associated equipment and training to support the Malaysian Armed Forces’ rotary-wing close-air-support missions in December 2017. Based on the procurement contract, all the helicopter s are expected to be delivered to Malaysia at the end of this year. Image The helicopter is 7.76m long and 3m wide and has an overall height of 2.88m. It has five main rotor blades and tw...

When you look at cost, the An-124 Ruslan would have been a good addition for the US in heavy transport. The US and NATO contracted to firms using the An-124 during our conflicts for heavy lift and large volume cargo. I saw one in person in Seattle back in 1998 or 1999 at SeaTac Airport parked and was impressed with it. I found out Boeing used it for large parts transport during that time. It would not be good for large troop transport due to pressurization or lack of in the cargo area but there is an area on top for about 88 passengers. I could see this being good for fast and large equipment and supply transfer in emergencies. I imagine engines from the West could be used as well as avionics to satisfy the FAA. If Boeing can be certified, I can’t see why anyone else can’t. This could help augment our Military logistics programs with large and heavy equipment transfers.

For a country with a population of just over 10 million people, it’s impressive that Sweden can maintain one of the best fighter aircraft programs. An aircraft’s effectiveness is no longer determined mainly by how fast it can fly. Now it’s about how instant AI can interpret information and present the data for pilots to act upon in battle. Unlike US or Russian fighter s, Swedish Gripen can’t carry the most weapons, has no real stealth. To be clear, it isn’t the longest-range, the fastest, or even the cheapest jet. Nevertheless, Sweden has chosen another niche to com Pet e. The country’s focus is to develop a fighter jet with the most advanced electronics to become a nightmare for its closest adversary – Russia.

.     How fast? Test pilot Jim Eastham managed to push one to Mach 3.56, or just under 2,400 mph, for approximately 15 seconds whilst in a dive, as noted by retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Jim Goodall (author of the book Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird:   The Illustrated History of America’s Legendary Mach 3 Spy Plane): “Jim said he dropped the nose down a bit to see if he could at least reach Mach 3.0. Out of nowhere, Jim hit good air and in the dive with good air he red lined everything. He went into his descent profile and headed back to the test site.” The exact date of that accomplishment is unknown; however, it is known that in July 1976, an SR-71 set not one but two world records – one was an absolute speed record of 2,193.167 mph while the other was an absolute altitude record of 85,068.997 feet. SR-71 – Sustained Speed       Another impressive feat of the Blackbird transpired on 7 March 1990, when an airframe piloted by the...

An American Airlines cleaning truck #FR062 driven by a cleaning lead entered the hard stand across from the Base maintenance hangar at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) with the intent of locating a specific aircraft (A321, N507AY) to conduct a scheduled clean. As was the station norm during night operations the driver angled towards the nose gear as they approached each aircraft to use the headlights to illuminate the aircraft number. After identifying N288AY, they accelerated towards the next aircraft but failed to clear the aircraft. Significant structural damage to the aircraft occurred when the right-hand rail on the stationary platform cut through the aircraft fuselage aft of the radome and the box of the truck struck the radome.   No employees were injured and the aircraft is now back in regular service.

Attendees to the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference in Washington, D.C., were undoubtedly able to see several unique upgrades and enhancements to existing Military platforms. Those included the AbramsX, the first hybrid main battle tank (MBT), while Boeing also unveiled its “Modernized Apache Concept.” Much like the M1 Abrams, the AH-64 Apache entered service during the Reagan administration but proved itself in combat in a vastly changed world. Both may have been designed to fight the Soviet Union in Europe, but were able to meet the challenges in the Middle East and beyond. Current Army plans still call for the Apache to remain operational, as well as an integral part of the service’s aviation forces – and as such, the combat helicopter has been optimized to complement the next-generation platforms in the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) ecosystem. “From the AH-64A in 1984 to today’s AH-64E Version 6, or v6, the Apache has grown in leaps and bounds — t...
