Stealth aircraft

and the Nevada Test Site, and it offered a great airstrip. In 1955, they built an area to suit the testing needs including a 5,000-foot runway, houses for the workers, and workshops. Within a month of finishing the runway, the first U-2 arrived. A month later, that plane took flight. U-2 planes were dispatched to Soviet ground. A year later, there were many interruptions by NTS activities. At the same time the base was working on the U-2 project, Lockheed started making a reconnaissance aircraft that would become the SR-71 Blackbird, a mach-3 plane that is part of the OXCART Project. This plane is what forced the expansion of the U-2 base. They had to make a new runway that is a lot longer, housing, and buildings for the aircraft. In 1962 the airspace above and around Groom Lake was off limits to everyone except for the workers of Area 51 and a number of planes were close by. The first OXCART plane arrived in 1962 and took flight just and flew two months later. In 1977, a Lockheed Have Blue stealth fighter prototype was finished and took flight. Over the next…

Sentinel there is minimal risk of losing the asset since the Sentinel uses modern stealth technology. The TRECs system applied to a drone would reduce the risk of loss of life while at the same time enhancing the Air Force’s jamming and detection capabilities. This will lead to a quicker and more effective destruction of enemy IADs (Banks). Along with the modern technology, the full integration of RPAs into the SEAD mission will make the Air Force more efficient against modern IADs. To be…

On the page previous to this, one can find the new budget I have created with a budget cut of $1 billion. I have cut my budget of $200 billion to $199 billion by cutting $57 million from the military, $22 million from food and agriculture, $14 million from transportation, and lastly $7 million from energy and environment. Each one of these cuts were made strategically, with a logical reasoning behind them. Within the military budget, I have cut $57 million. A majority of this cut comes from the…

The F-4 Phantom was the creation of some forward thinking individuals with-in the McDonnell Aircraft Company. In 1952, the company set out to conduct internal studies to determine which branch of the military would be the next, looking for a new airplane; their studies concluded that it would be the United States Navy (Hickman, Vietnam War: F-4 Phantom II, 2015). The predecessor to the F-4 Phantom II was the F-3H Demon. In 1953, McDonnell took the Demon and set out to improve on it to create…

the Armed Aerial Scout program made a request for information for an advanced helicopter. As a response Sikorsky proposed its Sikorsky S-97 Raider. Four years later, the company finally unveiled the first full production model of the groundbreaking scout and attack helicopter in the company’s facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. The objective set for the new aircraft is to replace the army’s OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. However, specialists think that if the manufacturer’s claims about the Sikorsky…

operation and safety as internal safety of the aircraft is an inherent function of management. Modifications and improvement in safety is a continual process however there are much safety kept in the form clothing, noise control, temperature and electrical control. For the aircraft there are fabrics for fire safety and precaution like Nomex, Kevlar and PBI. For fire safety and protection at high temperature PBI is the most preferred as it is the engineered blend of Nomex and Kevlar (Jackson,…

Have you ever seen those spy movies with the stealth planes and wondered if they were real? Well they aren’t but we have come up with some planes that function the same but look a lot cooler.These planes such as the SR-71 Blackbird and The U-2 Dragon Lady are used for military reconnaissance.Even though some say spying on other countries is wrong, The U-2 Plane allowed the US to win the Cold War because it has top of the line equipment, It flies on the edge of the atmosphere, and It gained…

supersonic planes. 1.2 SCOPE This report discusses the design features and the functions of a general supersonic aircraft. It will also cover advantages and disadvantages, the target users and the possible recommendations to such technology. 1.3 BACKGROUND FIGURE 1: BELL X-1 Plane( NASA, 2014 ) Just at the start of the Cold War era, an ambitious and decorated pilot, Charles Elwood Yeager, a test pilot, was chosen by the National Advisory Committee…

or jumping the wrong way, silly thing 's like this can mess up some of your mission 's especially when you are trying to stealth a mission. For some people these minor flaws maybe annoying but for everyone else who can look past these minor issues then the game has very consistent, fluid and solid graphics. For myself, I just laughed and took screenshots every time a silly error happened. The environments range from busy shipping towns, fortresses to the jungle, coves and mini paradise islands…

What Aerospace Engineers do (504 words) Aerospace engineers are individuals who use technology to create, model and test mechanisms such as aircraft, and spacecraft. This type of Engineer works to improve the technology of space exploration, defense systems and so on. In the aeronautical field you could be working on a project to send people into outer space or working on projects that could be working with the latest ground and sea transportation. When working in aeronautics this type of…
