The history of aviation is not about airplanes that became popular but also about the experimental machines that pushed every limit of engineering. These airplanes were not meant to be perfect. They were built to try out ideas that seemed impossible at the time and to find answers to questions that nobody had answered before. […]
When considering the sources of the Titan submersible, the first irreversible decision is the six-week construction window. You do not squeeze the development of deep-sea pressure vessels into a fifty-yard dash without taking a leap of faith. This was not control over speed, but speed instead of validation. After that schedule was nailed down, all […]
The concept of personal flying has been in the mind of human mind almost a hundred years before and was driven by the science fiction and audacious engineering ambitions. Since flying cars were smooth and traveled in between the business towers, to tiny personal airplanes, the hope of being above the traffic in the ground […]
The COMAC C919 story resembles one of those rare occasions when nation ambition collides with the actual situation in the aviation industry. I have always been impressed by the way in which a single airplane could carry so much more than people it carries dreams, pride, and years of hard work. It was not just […]
The accidental disaster that happened on OceanGate Titan submersible on June 2023 is one of the saddest stories ever in the history of deep-sea exploration. What was meant to be an adventure trip by a group of tourists to see the wreck of the Titanic at a depth of 3,800 meters below the water turned […]
Boeing 727 is one of such aircraft which immediately evokes emotion among airplane enthusiasts. Not only was it another jetliner but it was a symbol of the time when flying was considered rugged, bold and full of personality. The three engine design gave it a unique appearance and to many travellers particularly in the Midwest, […]
Through the bright areas of the Mojave Desert, where historic flights have abounded, is emerging a new era of supersonic aviation. Just two decades after the retirement of the supersonic jet, the Concorde, another era of supersonic travel is materialising for the world’s aviation enthusiasts. Leading this revolution, ready to mark a fresh era, is […]
