The Shuttle Training Aircraft was a Grumman Gulfstream II modified to simulate a gliding Shuttle orbiter: It still needed to drop gear and reverse thrust to match the terrible L/D of the orbiter on descent.

OTD in 1988, Buran became the first and only orbiter from the Soviet space shuttle program to reach space after it launched from Baikonur for a conservative two-orbit uncrewed test flight on Energia 1L. Here's a supercut of the launch with some awesome archival footage.

On the 4th of July in 1982, thousands of spectators flocked to the California desert for a special event! Astronauts TK Mattingly and Hank Hartsfield made a perfect landing of the Columbia orbiter as STS-4, the final test flight of the Space Shuttle, ended #OTD in 1982.

In order to test the space shuttle Enterprise's landing capabilities, it was carried to 24,000 feet atop a modified 747, and blasted off using explosive charges.

Nothing beats this iconic sight — the Space Shuttle Endeavour hitching a ride atop a Boeing 747 over Los Angeles on September 21, 2012. Escorted by NASA F/A-18s and an F-15, the orbiter made its final flight to the California Science Center. What a farewell flyover!

Unpopular take: the Soviet Shuttle was objectively better engineered than the American one. -Full autopilot (flew perfectly with no crew in 1988) -No dangerous solid boosters mounted on the side -Energia could launch 30 tons WITHOUT the orbiter -Superior hexagonal tiles that didn’t fall off NASA’s Shuttle killed 14 people. Buran/Ptichka killed zero. America didn’t win the shuttle race. The USSR just ran out of money before round two.

After reentering Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speed, the Space Shuttle had no engines to help it land. Once it dropped out of orbit, it became a heavy glider, relying only on gravity, aerodynamics, and the pilot's precision. There were no second chances. The shuttle had a steep descent, a narrow landing window, and just one shot at the runway.

Fun fact: if you put “the chair” in the orbiter, Wally will show up in it, almost like a summoning seat. Or, maybe he was just tired and needed to sit down. Tough to say.

A quarter of a century of science. Last week, NASA Solar System's Mars Odyssey orbiter celebrated the 25th anniversary of its launch to the Red Planet. Since then, the orbiter has become a workhorse enabling valuable science and communications relay at Mars.

The Boeing C-17Globemaster III is one of the few modern aircraft that uses reverse thrust in flight. The Boeing- manufactured aircraft is capable of in-flight deployment of reverse thrust on all four engines to facilitate steep tactical descents up to 15,000 ft/min (4,600 m/min) into combat environments (a descent rate of just over 170 mph, or 274 km/h)

45 years ago today, astronauts John Young and Bob Crippen completed the first spaceflight of the space shuttle program, STS-1, landing Columbia at Edwards Air Force Base. Hundreds of thousands of spectators gathered in the California desert to witness the landing of the 98-ton (89-tonne) orbiter following its 2-day flight.

Continuation from previous post. Following the 1986 Challenger disaster, NASA completely revamped the crew's bailout options. The ejection seats were scrapped in favor of the slidewire and pole bailout system. If the shuttle was forced to make a controlled glide without a runway, astronauts would extend a 2.5-meter carbon-fiber pole from the side hatch. By attaching a lanyard to the pole, they would slide away from the orbiter to clear the left wing before pulling their parachutes.👀

A China Eastern pilot used the A350's thrust reverser to reverse the aircraft on the bay as it hit the jet bridge. Using the thrust reverser of an A350 to reverse the aircraft would be the first time I have seen this. 2 May 2026, Shanghai Airport. Why did he use the thrust reverser twice? Why not just set the brake after the first time?
