The Lockheed XF-90 was a 1940s USAF long-range penetration fighter prototype that was the first USAF jet to have afterburners and first Lockheed jet to fly supersonic(in a dive). It had swept wings and an unusual adjustable vertical stabilizer that slid fore/aft . The first prototype lacked afterburners and... show more

I was today's years old when I learned that the Navy had the crazy idea of building a supersonic jet on water ski's in the 1950's called the F2Y-1 Sea Dart(not to be confused with the Lawn Dart). It rode on hydro-skis during takeoff and landing and flew only as a prototype.👀

Tweaking the first prototype of the fox/pup suit hood. After testing, we found that it was a better design to move the collar and attach it to the hood. This allows it to cinch around the neck and keep the hood on the persons head better.

America's Concorde. The Lockheed L-2000 was America's Mach 3 supersonic jet project from the 60s, built to carry 250 passengers across the Atlantic at Mach 3 in 2 hours. The initial design called for a beefed-up turbofan derivative of the P&W J58 engines that had already been proven on the A-12 and subsequently on the SR-71—That would change in future evolutions. Unfortunately, It lost to Boeing's design, and sadly both got axed in '71 over costs and eco issues.👀

Whenever you see an F-35B on a routine Vertical take-off, remember we came a long (and painful) trek of testing and development to reach the standards of readiness that we have today... June 10 1964: a prototype XV-4, an experimental VTOL jet, crashes in Georgia (US), test pilot William J. Ingram dies. Control was lost after the aircraft transitioned from conventional to vertical flight. Reportedly, the pilot chose not to eject so he could fly the stricken jet away from a residential area. The airman lost in the accident was an Army civil test pilot, William J. Ingram, aged 43. (Even though the XV-4 was an experimental type – built by Lockheed - at the time of the accident, it was operated by the US Army) The XV-4 - officially named “Hummingbird” - was part of a US Army project in the feasibility of a VTOL jet in surveillance operations, using target-acquisition and sensory equipment. Only two prototypes were built, and both were lost in accidents. (This one was registered as “62-4503”) Video - Amazing Info TV

Truly an inspiring story of one man with a vision. Christian von Koenigsegg founded the company in 1994 with the goal of building the ultimate supercar. After a few years of development, the first fully working prototype simply called the Koenigsegg CC was completed in 1996. It was not a production car but it proved the concept the design and the performance potential, powered by a mid mounted 4.6 L V8 with around 650 hp a 6 speed manual transmission and double wishbone suspension. That prototype eventually evolved into the CC8S which became the first Koenigsegg customers could actually buy in 2002.

The F-86D "Sabre Dog" prototype first flew in 1949. It featured a reshaped nose intake to house a new radar and fire-control system, which automatically guided the aircraft to within 500 yards of the target and fired its 24 retractable 2.75 Inch FFAR "Mighty Mouse" rockets(as seen in footage-might be NATO model). The F-86D was the first production single-seat fighter to replace guns with A2A rockets as primary armament.🫡

Elon Musk on the first thing to do when starting a company “The goal with Tesla was really to try to show what electric cars can do because people had the wrong impression. We had to change people’s perception of an electric vehicle because they used to think of it as something that was slow and ugly with low range, kind of like a golf cart. That’s why we created the Tesla Roadster — to show that it can be fast, attractive, and long range… Until you actually have the physical object and they can drive it, it doesn’t really sink in for people.” Elon believe this principle is something all startup founders should take note of: “If you’re going to create a company, the first thing you should try to do is create a working prototype. Everything looks great on PowerPoint… But if you have an actual demonstration — even if it’s in primitive form — that’s much more effective for convincing people.”

🇺🇸 NASA AND LOCKHEED TEST SUPERSONIC JET THAT DOESN'T GO BOOM NASA and Lockheed Martin just flew a supersonic jet designed to make only a "gentle thump" instead of the terrifying sonic boom that's banned commercial supersonic travel over land since the 1940s. The X-59 test flight over California could eventually cut NYC to LA travel time in half. Supersonic flight has existed since 1947, but the explosive noise rattled windows and freaked people out, so it was banned over US land. The Concorde did transatlantic flights until a 2003 crash killed the service. If this quiet jet works, supersonic commercial travel could finally return. Source: Associated Press

A rare look at the Curtiss-Wright XF-87 Blackhawk all-weather jet fighter-interceptor prototype. It was designed as a replacement for the P-61 Black Widow but was eventually cancelled. Rumors of why it was cancelled: During Congressional Hearings about the B-36 a congressman noted that both Curtiss-Wright and Northrop had been informed that "unless they agreed to merge with Consolidated [Vultee], business would be bad for them." The testimony before the hearing notes that Curtiss-Wright were unenthusiastic about a potential merger and this might have been why the F-87 contract was cancelled. The Secretary of the Air Force denied this, however, stating that the cancellation was the result of "operating difficulties with the experimental model of the F-87, plus increasingly satisfactory operating data on competitive all-weather fighters."

What I like to believe is that it was actually the first time they had that conversation, but Loki was so confident in his abilities that he had the courage to call him out because there was no reason Kang would know if it was the first time or the thousandth time

It was the IAF that converted a short ranged supersonic dart called the MiG 21 into a multirole fighter that took on and shot down an F-104 and an F-16, while still managing to be the prime ground attack fighter that put runways out of action and brought an end to the 1971 war

One of the first aircraft to use electrical flight controls with no mechanical linkages, the Balzac 001 was an experimental VTOL aircraft developed by Dassault in the early 1960s. Built as a technology demonstrator for the planned Mirage IIIV supersonic fighter, it was powered by eight Rolls-Royce RB.108 lift engines and a single Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet. The aircraft achieved its first free flight in October 1962 and completed the first full transition from vertical takeoff to horizontal flight in March 1963 but was destroyed in an accident the following year.

It looks like a spaceship. But it is 60 years old. This is the XB-70 Valkyrie. Built in the 1960s, it was designed to fly at Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and outrun a nuclear blast. It was so fast that the friction from the air heated the skin to over 600°F. To survive, the pilots wore pressurized space suits. But the craziest part was the wings. Once it hit supersonic speed, the wingtips would physically fold down 65 degrees. This allowed the plane to "ride" its own shockwave, like a surfer riding a wave. It used six massive jet engines aligned in a row. Only two were ever built. One crashed in a tragic accident, and the other sits in a museum. We haven't built anything like it since. Was this the peak of human engineering?

Iran said it shot down a US Air Force fighter jet over its territory and released images that appear to show the wreckage of a jet that online commentators say is an F-15E Strike Eagle from the 494th Fighter Squadron. Analysts said debris in the video matches the F-15E’s design. It was initially claimed the aircraft struck was an F-35. There was no immediate comment from US or Israeli military commands, although the United States Central Command had denied a day earlier that a jet was downed near Qeshm Island. Iranian state media claimed the US pilot landed inside Iran. The pilot's fate was not immediately clear.

Google Street View started as a project to scan the real world. Cars with cameras photographed streets to collect data. It worked, but everything that made a place feel like a place was gone. Until Andy Szybalski prototyped what it could feel like as a product designed for people. The prototype was completely fake. The map didn't work and the imagery wasn't real. But it let people feel what it was like to stand on the street. An engineer saw it and said "let's ship it." Andy had to explain there was nothing to ship. This "smoke and mirrors" prototype convinced the team to throw out years of work and rebuild Street View through the eye of a human instead of a machine. I talked with Andy about the whole story, including the prototypes, the key design decisions, and how Street View became one of the most beloved products on the internet. Full story (with more early prototypes) in the replies 👇

This is from today's #WCWS game. This was ruled a base hit when it happened (you can see the 'H' pop up), but was changed to a missed catch error by the first baseman at the bottom of the fourth. This is an impossible catch for the first baseman with a ball thrown from that angle, that hard. This throw has to be to the glove, and while it's not a wild throw, it's low enough that the first baseman cannot get her glove around it in time. This is where replay gets you in trouble. The slo-mo replay makes it look like it's a catchable ball, but it isn't. In real time, at live speed, this isn't an error. This isn't a missed catch or a drop. I was loving the call of a single, especially because it was the first hit, and then, when it was changed, it felt like it was to protect a no-hitter. Everything about this screams "above ordinary effort" ... I would have left this as a single.

WATCH: IL-96 FAILS FIRST TAKEOFF — THEN FLIES WITH GEAR DOWN AFTER 10 YEARS IN STORAGE Built in 1992, this Il-96-300 was once a workhorse of Russian aviation until it retired in 2008 and was left parked at Domodedovo Airport. For over a decade, it sat untouched — until it was revived. After a light wash and startup, the jet attempted a return to the skies. The first takeoff? A no-go. But on the second attempt, it roared into the air — with its landing gear not retracting to Zhukovsky. No politics, just enjoy the avgeek moment folks. 🎥: okandrew(Youtube)

The Boeing XB-15 was a massive experimental bomber that first flew on October 15, 1937. With a 149-foot wingspan—nearly 50% larger than the B-17—it was the biggest U.S. plane built up to then, powered by four 1,000 hp Pratt & Whitney radials, featured crew bunks, internal wing crawlways, and even set a 1939 record lifting over 31,000 pounds to 8,200 feet. Underpowered for its size, it topped out around 197 mph and never entered production. By 1943 the sole prototype was converted to a cargo transport as the XC-105, hauling freight instead of bombs during WWII.
