The Alenia Aermacchi M-311 made its maiden flight on June 1, 2005. Developed from the Aermacchi S-211A, the M-311 features a strengthened structure and landing gear, allowing it to withstand 15,000 hours of flight time and +7G/-3.5G or +5/-2.5G maneuvers with underwing stores. Only two prototypes were built before the project was relaunched as the updated and more capable M-345, which was subsequently ordered by Italy. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #italy

The Italian Defence Ministry has approved the acquisition programme for 24 new Eurofighter jets for the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force). While further details are yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated that these aircraft will progressively replace the currently operational Eurofighter Tranche 1 models. The new jets are expected to meet the Next Generation (NG) standard, featuring a range of advanced technologies. These include a new Large Area Display (LAD), a next-generation mission computer, high-performance AESA CAPTOR-E Mk2 (ECRS Mk2) radar, an updated electronic self-protection system, and capabilities for controlling and managing so-called loyal wingman drones.

The F-18 "shock fog" phenomenon occurs when the aircraft is traveling at moderately high subsonic speeds, generating a shock wave that interacts with the surrounding air, causing condensation and creating a visible fog-like effect. As the aircraft's speed increases, the shock wave becomes more oblique, leading to a more pronounced and extensive shock fog effect. This visual phenomenon is a result of the rapid compression and cooling of the air around the aircraft, and it provides a striking demonstration of the aerodynamic forces at play during high-speed flight. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce

Aselsan’s BOMBARDIER Global 6000 Hava SOJ airborne stand-off jammer programme is progressing well, a company spokesperson said at the World Defense Show. The Turkish air force requirement to stop enemy radar and communication systems from functioning during offensive operations will allow offensive aircraft to enter safe zones. The Hav SOJ will stay airborne during operational missions for up to eight hours. The three main onboard communications systems, comprising a communications jammer, radar jammer and communications intelligence/electronic intelligence (COMINT/ELINT), have all been developed by the Turkish company. Testing was completed on the test-bed simulator last December and the system will be integrated into the first Global 6000 at Ankara-based Turkish Aerospace, which is partnering with Aselsan on the programme.
