Despite its advanced rocket design, the Me 163 required extensive ground support for every flight. It was towed to the runway by a Scheuchschlepper using a tow bar, started with an auxiliary unit, and jettisoned its takeoff dolly shortly after liftoff. After a short powered flight it glided back... show more

Meet Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7, the world’s first aircraft to use a fan-in-wing design for stable flight. It has 14 fans built into its wings that let it take off and land vertically like a helicopter. After takeoff, the fans are covered and it switches to fast forward flight using a hybrid-electric system.

Avianca flight AV9418 evacuated after an aborted takeoff from Pereira Matecana International Airport in Colombia. The Airbus A320, with 168 passengers, was flying from Pereira to Bogotá. However, on departure there was a problem with one of the engines that prevented it from taking off. "According to preliminary information, an A320 aircraft that was starting a flight between Pereira and Bogotá had to suspend takeoff on the runway, apparently due to a failure in one of its engines," the Civil Aeronautics department said.

A United Airlines flight bound for Australia was forced to stop its takeoff roll in San Francisco after the pilots received a warning indicating a possible open cargo door. The Boeing 777, preparing to depart on the long flight to Sydney, was accelerating down the runway when the crew declared a MAYDAY and rejected the takeoff at about 41 knots rather than risk continuing with a potential safety issue. The aircraft safely exited the runway and returned to the gate so maintenance crews could inspect the warning. While the alert later turned out to be precautionary, the decision highlights how seriously flight crews treat even the smallest indication of a problem, especially before a transpacific flight lasting more than 14 hours. After technicians checked the aircraft, the flight departed roughly two hours later and continued on to Sydney without further issues. The pilots are being praised for their quick judgment and willingness to stop the takeoff immediately, showing how experience and caution play a critical role in keeping passengers safe long before an aircraft ever leaves the ground. 📸 flightsimulatorfantasy

Two passengers got into a heated argument mid-flight after one reclined his seat and the person behind started shaking it aggressively 😳 A flight attendant stepped in, saying he had the right to recline and the other passenger had to deal with it. Who do you think was right here 🤔🤔

Truly, Our ancestors had a profound way of dealing with P.T.S.D. It was believed that after a war when a man had returned from war, before he could be accepted back into society. He had to live with an Herbalist for 3 months to do some spiritual cleansing. It was said that after war, the human spirit was off balance and required to undergo some ritual in order to restore it back in harmony with nature and the community. A horn was used to draw out stagnant and dsyfunctional blood to the surface. This is one of the ritual that was performed on the worriors to cleanse them of any mental illness and trauma that they might experience later on in life after the war. This process was carried out by Africans long ago before it was allegedly deemed a Chinese invention. It was called "African suction cup," by the colonizers. This is one of the many practices that have been lost due to African s.lavery and colonization. #Africa

ENGINE FAILURE FORCES UNITED B777 BACK TO DULLES AFTER TAKEOFF United Airlines Flight 803, a Boeing 777-200(N78004) bound for Tokyo, safely returned to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) on Saturday after suffering a loss of power in one engine shortly after departure. The engine issue on takeoff reportedly sparked a small brush fire along the runway, with airport fire crews responding immediately and remaining on scene as a precaution. The aircraft was seen dumping fuel before making an emergency landing back at IAD. There were 275 passengers and 15 crew members on board. No injuries were reported. United confirmed the incident, stating the flight returned shortly after takeoff to address the engine power loss and landed safely. To assist affected passengers, United temporarily closed a United Club lounge at Dulles while working to rebook customers to their destinations. The FAA also confirmed the event, noting that Flight 803 returned to Dulles around 1:20 p.m. local time after experiencing an engine failure during departure. The FAA has opened an investigation.

The A-10 is near the top of the list when it comes to turn radius of attack aircraft. Its large, straight wing design and slow flight speeds help it to generate high lift and fly at a high angle of attack without stalling. Perfect for rapid re-attacks on the ground.

Here's an interesting look at the Northrop X-4 Bantam, built in 1948 with no horizontal tail and depended on the wing control surfaces for roll and pitch attitudes. Very similar to the German Me 163. It failed mainly due to lack of a modernized flight control system.😎

In June 1937 at Neuhardenberg, pilot Erich Warsitz (posibly the first jet pilot) ignited the von Braun Liquid Fuel Rocket Engine on his Heinkel He 112 after climbing to altitude and shutting down the Jumo piston engine. Smoke and fire quickly filled the cockpit due to exhaust flowing back into the fuselage. Despite the wheels-up landing and having the fuselage on fire, it proved to official circles that an aircraft could be flown satisfactorily with a back-thrust system through the rear without causing an aircraft to flip or become uncontrollable. It convinced the German Air Ministry (RLM) that rocket-powered flight was feasible, leading directly to the development of the purpose-built Heinkel He 176.

JUST IN: Audio released after Southwest Airlines Flight 3695 was forced to make an emergency landing after its engine cowling detached during takeoff. The pilot can be heard calling for an emergency landing. The Boeing 737-800s engine cowling detached and “struck the wing flap” during takeoff. The flight was able to turn around and land safely at Denver International Airport. “Southwest Airlines Flight 3695 returned safely to Denver International Airport around 8:15 a.m. local time on Sunday, April 7, after the pilot reported the engine cowling fell off during takeoff and struck the wing flap. The Boeing 737-800 was towed to the gate. The aircraft was headed to William P. Hobby Airport in Houston. The FAA will investigate,” the FAA said in a statement.

This is Delta, a deformable multirotor robot developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo that can both fly and roll using its flexible body design. It uses a thrust control system to move efficiently in the air and on the ground, allowing it to adapt to different environments. This capability makes it useful for tasks like disaster response and long-duration operations, introduced in 2024.

BREAKING: For 10 years the world believed there was one way to reuse a rocket: land it upright on its engines, the way SpaceX does. Today China refused to copy it, and pulled off something SpaceX never managed on a first flight. It caught the rocket instead. The Long March 10B lifted off from Hainan, China this morning, and about 6 minutes later its first stage came back down toward a 25,000-ton ship at sea. It did not land. Hooks on the falling booster snagged a net of tensioned steel wires strung across the deck, the wires riding robotic rails that slid into place to meet it. No landing legs. No touchdown. A rocket plucked out of its own descent by a moving net, on the maiden flight of a brand-new vehicle. No one handed China this. SpaceX guards its rocket tech as “trade secrets”, not “patents”, precisely so it cannot be read and copied. China watched a decade of public flights and then built an entirely different machine to reach the same prize, catching instead of landing, which sheds the heavy legs and spares the fuel a soft touchdown burns to hover. And this was never about cheaper satellites, though it delivers those too, feeding the thousands of birds in China's Starlink rival. Its deeper purpose is the Moon. That booster shares its core with the rocket meant to land Chinese astronauts on the lunar surface by 2030. In the same season, America's own Moon rocket, Starship, has flown 12 times and still has not shown the single maneuver its lunar plan depends on. One flight does not dethrone SpaceX. It has landed hundreds. What ended today is not SpaceX's lead. It is Uncle Sam’s belief that it owns the only road to the Moon. The piece works out which way of coming home actually wins.

on April 30, 1966, XB-70 (AV-2) Valkyrie pilots Al White and Joe Cotton faced disaster when the nose gear jammed after takeoff due to a short-circuit. After failed touch-and-gos to jar it loose, ground engineers diagnosed a faulty circuit breaker. With no tools aboard, Cotton grabbed a binder paperclip from his briefcase, shorted the breaker mid-flight-extending the gear. The malfunction caused hydraulic pressure to remain on 3 of the 4 main wheel brakes which led to the burn up of the Valkyrie main landing gear tires. Serious damage was avoided and the aircraft was able to fly again two weeks later. Tragically, AV-2 would be lost just weeks later in a midair collision with an F-104 chase plane.🫡

AEROSUCRE 727 GEAR FAILURE IN BARRANQUILLA. A tense moment at Ernesto Cortissoz Airport after an Aerosucre Boeing 727-227 (HK-5216) made an emergency return to Barranquilla due to a suspected left main gear fault. After holding at 3,000 ft for nearly an hour, the crew executed a careful landing on Runway 05 — but the left gear collapsed on rollout, causing the wing to scrape along the runway. Despite substantial damage to the left wing and gear, the crew kept the freighter on the runway. No injuries were reported. Aerocivil has opened an investigation into the incident.
