The innovative and potentially very effective flying wing design, in which the tail section and fuselage are deleted and all payload is carried in a thick wing, was employed by the YB-35 and YB-49. Both the YB-35 and the YB-49 used the radical and potentially very efficient flying wing design, in which the tail section and fuselage are eliminated and all payload is carried in a thick wing Conceived by Jack Northrop as a large wing-only, long-range heavy bombers, the Northrop XB-35 and YB-35 were experimental airplanes developed by the Northrop Corporation for the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) during and shortly after World War II. The aircraft used the radical and potentially very efficient flying wing design, in which the tail section and fuselage are eliminated and all payload is carried in a thick wing. Only prototype and pre-production aircraft were built, although interest remained strong enough to warrant further development of the design as a jet bomber, under the design...

On December 2, 2022, a UFO was spotted approaching an Airbus A380 as it descended towards the runway at the Sao Paulo International Airport in Brazil. The unidentified flying object, which does not appear to be a drone, was captured on video by the airport’s cameras. UFO approached the massive passenger aircraft as it was preparing to land, causing the video camera to shake. It is unclear what the UFO was attempting to do or whether it posed any threat to the safety of the A380 and its passengers. This incident has caused a stir among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike, with many speculating about the nature and intentions of the Mysterious object. Some have even suggested that the shaking of the camera may have been caused by the UFO itself, potentially demonstrating advanced Technology beyond our current understanding. It is worth noting that UFO sightings around airports are not uncommon, and many can be explained by natural or man-made phenomena. However, this p...

Second Lieutenant John Bosko was flying his seventh mission on August 24, 1944. He was reasonably seasoned as far as bomber commanders went but was unaware of his target’s macabre reputation. His crew and machine from the 327th Bomb Squadron, 92nd Bomb Group, were en route to the well-defended Merseburg oil refineries in Germany’s heartland from their base in East Anglia. His plane was a veteran of almost 60 missions and had gone through all of them relatively undamaged. Snake Hips and her crew were about to be put to the ultimate test. As the 92nd Bomb Group made its run over the target, the flak bursts began to rattle Snake Hips until a loud explosion shook the aircraft. Smoke filled the cockpit, and fuel sloshed around in the bomb bay. Bosko was shocked to learn from the co-pilot that three bombs had just rolled off the starboard wing. There was a gaping hole in the right side of the fuselage extending from the bomb bay through the radio compartment. Also, a large sec...

This might be the smooth est Airbus A380 landing I have ever seen. Would be nice to know if the passengers even felt any kind of impact while touching down on runway 07L at Franfkurt. In addition I also filmed an Emirates Airbus A380 landing on ruwnay 23L at Düsseldorf on a wet runway this week which I also included in this video. Even though I fully understand the physics of how planes fly, it never ceases to amaze me how any of these big mothers can get off the ground. When we landed in Prague several years ago, the fog was so heavy we could barely see the runway after touchdown. Our landing was so smooth I wasn’t sure we were down until I felt the brakes applied. The whole cabin applauded the captain. My recommendation. For those who fly internationally, at least once in your flying days, book an airline that still flies the A380 before they all get retired. We flew on An Airbus A380 on Lufthansa from Frankfurt to JFK with an upgrade to premium economy. What a ...
