CHINESE STEALTH PLANE JI-20 CHENGDU
After the famous stealth league of F-117,F-22,sukhoi T-50 joins Chinese aircraft named chengdu J-XX
being fondly called as black silk j-20 resembles the look of f-22 raptor,its president its maiden flight on jan 11,2010 and the flight lasts for nearly 20 minutes.
this secret thing of work upsets usaf...but will it take giant operational 5th gen f-22???well we' ll See..
SHAKE IT BUDDY!!
supporting this new technique boeing says there is a need for several other instances during flight where the crew may need to act in a less-urgent manner, to maintain safety.
adding to that,"Certain physiological factors may have an effect on the ability of the flightcrew to remain alert to perform such flight interaction tasks".
so pilots there is no more sleep in your cockpits.A vibrating alarm on the way..
LUFTHANSA GO GREEN!!
The german carrier is thriving to become the first airline to operate on bio-fuel.
it is planning to check this trail on its frankfurt-hamburg route on a international engine with a 50/50 blend of bio-fuel,but the regulatory authority (ASTM) postponed the certification.
Lufthansa has signed an agreement with Finnish oil refining company Neste Oil for the supply of jet fuel derived from vegetable oil using Neste's NExBTL biomass-to-liquid technology. The airline is spending around €6.6 million ($8.9 million) on the project, which it estimates will save around 1.5 million kg (3.3 million lb) of carbon dioxide emissions over the six-month trial.

DREAMLINER COMPLETES 1000th FLIGHT !
Boeing 787 made its 1,000th flight on feb 23,2011.
There are seven airplanes participating in flight testing. The landing of 787 flight test airplane ZA004, just after 1 p.m. MST at Yuma International Airport, counted as the official 1,000th flight.
The program is near its 3,000th hour of flying and 787s have flown a total of more than one million miles.
Boeing to Build Next-Generation Refueling Tanker
The Boeing Company has received a contract from the U.S. Air Force to build the next-generation aerial refueling tanker aircraft that will replace 179 of the service’s 400 KC-135 tankers.
The contract calls for Boeing to design, develop, manufacture and deliver 18 initial combat-ready tankers by 2017.
the Air Force has chosen an American-built, multi-mission tanker that is based on the proven Boeing 767 commercial airplane and meets all requirements at the lowest risk for the warfighter.
It includes state-of-the-art systems to meet the demanding mission requirements of the future, including a digital flight deck featuring Boeing 787 Dreamliner electronic displays and a flight control design philosophy that places aircrews in command rather than allowing computer software to limit combat maneuverability. The NewGen Tanker also features an advanced KC-10 boom with an expanded refueling envelope, increased fuel offload rate and fly-by-wire control system.
F22 CAPABILITIES: this is why they are callin it as multirole one.
- Aerial Refueling - KC-10 and KC-135
- External Fuel Tank Carriage
- 1,724 Mile Non-stop Ferry
- AIM-9 and AIM-120 Missile Separation - Subsonic and Supersonic
- In-Flight Gun Firing
- Supercruise
- Stealth
- High Angle-of-Attack Post-Stall Flight with Thrust Vectoring
- Integrated Avionics Data Fusion
- Intraflight Data Link
- AIM-9 and AIM-120 Guided Launches - Subsonic and Supersonic
- Electronic Warfare
- Countermeasures
- Software Stability
- Four-Ship Offensive and Defensive Capability
- JTIDS (Joint Tactical Information Distribution System)
BOEING BIRD OF PREY WHATS NEW?!!
yea the bird of prey--the raptor is here we are talking about..so what is new about this interesting bird..well see now.
