Amazing that Lockheed Martin has made more than 2,500 of these babies! The there's also the C-5 Galaxy. But I can't wait to see a functional #SpaceX #Starship delivering cargo anywhere on Earth in an hour or less. Still, those ostentatious names seem just a tad absurd, don't they? Hercules is apt, but Galaxy, (confined entirely to Earth), Starship (which will never reach another star), Miss Universe, the World Series, etc. Nothing wrong with firing up the imagination, though. https://lnkd.in/eteE9jaZ

The world's fastest rocket-powered aircraft is the hypersonic North American X-15, which holds the official world record for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft. This remarkable achievement was set by pilot William J. Knight, who reached a speed of Mach 6.70 (4,520 mph) at an altitude of 102,100 feet on October 3, 1967. The X-15 program significantly advanced our understanding of high-speed flight and contributed valuable data for future aircraft and spacecraft designs. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #pilots

Boeing and the U.S. Air Force seal a $2.56 billion contract for the development and delivery of two cutting-edge E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft. This deal encompasses lifecycle development, training, and support for the U.S. E-7A fleet. The E-7A Wedgetail, already operational in the Royal Australian Air Force, Republic of Korea Air Force, and Turkish Air Force, is recognized for its advanced tracking and battle management command-and-control features. In addition, Boeing is currently producing three more E-7As for the Royal Air Force, with ongoing modifications happening in the UK. Notably, the Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, and U.S. Air Force have joined forces in a tri-lateral cooperation agreement to collaborate on the development, testing, and operational integration of the E-7A capabilities. The E-7A Wedgetail, built on the Boeing 737-700 Next Generation airframe, is equipped to offer comprehensive battle management, surveillance, and command-and-control capabilities. Its key component, the Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar, enables simultaneous tracking of airborne and maritime targets. With the MESA radar fixed atop the fuselage, the E-7A can scan vast airspace volumes efficiently, supporting enhanced target tracking and engagement capabilities over traditional rotating radar systems. This advancement empowers forces to swiftly detect and respond to threats with heightened speed and precision. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #uk #australia #southkorea #turkey

How would today's Autonomous Flight Termination systems (AFTS) from SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, etc. handle a scenario like this? With manned missions we draw the Instantaneous Impacts Points/Lines a bit wider to allow enough time for crew notification, if possible, but the Launch Abort Systems will protect the crew as exemplified in that New Shepard capsule separation a couple of years back. Now from a Public Safety perspective keeping the knowledge and accuracy requirement for the first 2000 ft of flight as tight as it currently is ensures minimum potential damage from a wildly veered off course rocket for whatever reason and enough stoppage distance for the safety ordnance to null as much as possible (powered flight vs physics such as momentum and gravity assisted) the forward motion of the rocket, thus ensuring no harm comes to those on the ground either in a Launch Control Center (LCC) or adjacent viewing areas to these rocket launches that always amaze our kids and us.

Safran Electronics & Defense designs and manufactures cutting-edge inertial navigation systems (INS). An inertial navigation system serves as a sophisticated navigator utilizing motion and rotation sensors alongside a computer to determine the precise location, movement, and speed of an object. The INS employs a method for determining positioning, continuously computing the object's position and orientation based on its initial location. This allows users in airplanes, submarines, or even spacecraft to guide and keep track of their location without signals such as GPS. Safran’s solutions find application in diverse environments for a range of purposes, including armored vehicles, military helicopters, submarines, satellites, and space launchers. These solutions cater to various industry needs such as Land Positioning, Pointing & Targeting, Naval Navigation, Airborne Navigation, and Space Navigation.

68 Years Ago: With NAA test pilot Robert Baker Jr. at the controls, on September 10, 1956, the North American Aviation F-107A (55-5118) made its first flight at Edwards AFB, CA and exceeded Mach 1. On the following November 3rd the F-107A also exceeded Mach 2. The F-107A program had an interesting start since, the time aircraft funding and budget constraints were very complex and political. New start programs had a high probability of being cancelled however, upgrades had a better chance. Thus, NAA’s new fighter was first designated F-100B. However, after a full-scale mockup review in September 1954, the Air Force ordered several changes the original F-100B design. A major modification was to locate the inlet in the ‘upper fuselage’ position. The strategy would allow room for growth in avionics, fire/control systems and recessed weapons bay. Additionally, the advanced VAID (Variable-Area Inlet Duct) system could be installed for high Mach testing. After these major modifications, the Air Force changed the designation from F-100B to F-107A and protected the budget. Note the “upward firing" ejection seat rode on guiderails to clear the inlet and was thoroughly verified on the supersonic test sled at Edwards AFB. Since it originated from a production program (F-100B), the redesigned F-107A never received an “X” or “Y” designation, or an official name. The Republic YF-105A Thunderchief was already ‘tentatively’’ approved for production however, the NAA F-107A was permitted as a "late-comer" to compete for the Cold War fighter/bomber contract initiated in the early 1950s. The Republic YF-105A was eventually selected and only three F-107A prototypes were built and continued flight testing under NACA (later NASA). USAF photo - Erik Simonsen Collection
