Street Fighter IV

supermarine S6B and was the last in the line of racing seaplanes developed by Supermarine. This was Mitchell’s final attempt to "perfect the design of the racing seaplane" It set a speed record which was about twice the speed of Britains fastest service fighter aircraft at that…

forces, hoping to divert American forces from the Midway Atoll. The P-38s stationed there, although limited in number, proved their worth by flying extremely long range patrols across the island chain. On 9 August 1942, a P-38 patrol of the 343rd Fighter Group happened upon a pair of Japanese flying boats, and destroyed them with no damage in return. This marked the first kills of the P-38 in any…

"I'm Wilson, you must be George Rackham?" "Sure, I'm George Rackham, I'm your guy. I replied not worrying about a thing. I just wanted to get up in the air. She is beautiful I thought to myself. My plane was a Bristol F2.B. In short she was a fighter plane. I got in the cockpit and I was mesmerised by the aeroplane "Come on, let's get this kite up in the air."I told Wilson. He agreed so we took off out of the hangar and into the sky. She was beautiful to fly. Rackham doesn't deserve this, the…

After the pilots had been trained, it was necessary to have fighter aircraft for them to fly. Early on in the war, still before the production of "good" airplanes, pilots either flew larger bombing aircraft like the Avro or BE(Bleroit experimental), or early single seaters such as the Thomas-morse or a Morane Saulnier. Obviously these are just a few of them, but those were some of the main ones. Morane made many types of aircraft, but probably the most famous of them was the Morane Saulnier…

is a two seater, twin engine, long range supersonic jet interceptor, and fighter bomber. It was originally built for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. Its first days of service was in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. With its outstanding performance, it was adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid 1960s it had become a major part of their respective air wings. The Phantom is a large fighter with top speed of over Mach 2.2 or about 750 mph. It can carry more…

During WW II the United States government challenged the aircraft industry to develop a new type of fighter that could fly at high speeds, for extended ranges, the ability to perform air to ground attacks, and climb to 20,000 feet within six minutes. Lockheed Martin answered the call and the P-38 Lightening was developed. This twin engine, twin boom aircraft was nothing like anything seen before. It was almost 100 miles per hour faster than other combat aircraft of the time and many of the…

Fighter and Bomber Aircraft of WWII During World War II, aviation firmly established itself as an important part of warfare. Countries taking part in WWII quickly learned that dominating the air meant winning the war. Before WWII, most of the strategies for air warfare were mainly theoretical, since WWI had little effective air warfare, and most air to air combat at the time was primitive. Fighter aircraft are military aircraft which are designed mostly for air to air combat against other…

A First Responder To 9/11 My dad has been a police officer and paramedic for over 25 years and retired this past year. He has worked in an ambulance, helicopter, and on the streets. Being a police officer is a difficult job not just on the officer, but also on the family. My dad often worked from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. or from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. With him working these hours, we would rarely see him on the days he worked. Every time he would leave for work, he would put his life on the line.…

with greater manoeuvrability. Fighter aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane that was used by Royal Air Force for the Battle of Britain, still today hold its legacy in the 21st century which shows the technological advancement for aircraft technology development was well ahead of its time. Development for the Spitfire and Hurricane came about because the Royal Air Force needed a fighter aircraft capable of competing again the German fighter aircraft Messerschmitt BF190…

Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) is a mission that came to be in the war in Vietnam. With the creation of modern Integrated Air Defense Systems (IAD), U.S. Air power could be loses its effectiveness while still maintaining Air Superiority. While enemy fighters may have not been a threat during most missions the possibility of being shot down by a Surface to Air Missile (SAM) was high. The Vietnamese IAD proved to be effective and lessening the effects of U.S. strike missions. With losses mounting…
