The North American P-51 Mustang is a long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber American aircraft that was sued during both World War II and Korean War. This aircraft was developed back in 1940 by the NAA (North American Aviation). The prototype for this aircraft’s NA-73X was designed and rolled out in a mere 102 days after the contract for this was signed. The aircraft took its first flight back on October 26th, 1940. The Mustang was initially designed to use the Allison V-1710 engine, an engine which had limited altitude performance during that time. This fighter jet at that time was…
Amazing facts about the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a fighter jet developed by the General Dynamics which is now the Lockheed Martin, for the US Air Force. This aircraft is a single-seat supersonic multirole fighter jet which was designed to be the air superiority day fighter and gradually over the time and various modifications it converted into an All-Weather multirole aircraft. The mass production of this aircraft was approved back in 1976 and since then nearly 4500 of these fighter jets have been developed. This aircraft is no longer being purchased by the…
Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that served the service for the Royal Air Force as well as for other Allied countries not only during the World War II but also before and after the World War II era. This aircraft was produced in many different variants with modification mainly carried out on its wing configuration. It is the only British aircraft, which has been mass-produced when compared to any other fighter jet. It is also the only British Air Force fighter to be produced throughout the war. Supermarine Spitfire remains to be one of the popular World…

There are many aircraft in the world that have exceeded the speed of Mach 2.0. Some of these aircraft were research aircraft while some were flying basically for reconnaissance missions. However, there is always something particular about the supersonic aircraft. Just imagine the feeling when you hear the word ‘Go’ from the radio and pushing that throttle backward and feeling the aircraft’s 100+ knots acceleration to tear through the very barrier of sound and soaring high into the clouds. This is the masterpiece of military engineering. Today for our readers we have compiled a list of fastest military jets in…
The definition of a successful fighter jet is the one that allows the pilot to maximize their tactical potential and be able to remove their workload when possible. While all the fighter jets are built upon this very principle, Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor takes this to whole another level. To make the aircraft as agile as possible, the variety of mechanisms have been built into every inch of this fighter jet. The concept of this aircraft was proposed back in the 1980s and the design was presented back in the early 1990s. The purpose behind the development of this aircraft…

In the tradition of the military aviation, Bomb and Kill Markings are very well known. In particular, when an A-10 Thunderbolt II belonging to the 124th Fighter Wing (Idaho ANG), from Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho, came back on October 24th, 2016 back home from their 6-month tour duty for the support in the “Operation Inherent Resolve”, the aircraft sported many bomb markings. These bomb markings were earned by these aircraft in their air war against “Daesh”. Two years later, the Warthogs of the “Skullbangers” of the 124th Fighter Wing, which flew from Turkey as part of the 190th Expeditionary…
