And on today´s "aero things I never heard of" - the Saab 1073, which attempted to shorten turnaround times by having people and cargo board through... a swivel nose. The concept for this 80 seat regional airliner never went past the "paper" stage

The Faichild C-123 is the only aircraft to operate under jet, piston, and turboprop engine power, and as a glider. It even got combinations of engine types. It started in 1949 and is still actively flown today.

On October 12, 1964, during its third test flight—and first, 20min sustained supersonic run—the XB-70 Valkyrie lost approximately 15% to 25% of its white paint, which peeled off in large patches. The, aerodynamic friction caused temperatures to exceed the paint's bonding

The 1957 Bell X-14 VTOL jet, built from Beech Bonanza and T-34 parts, proved vectored thrust works—hover to forward flight in '58. Neil Armstrong trained on it for Moon landings. NASA data shaped the Harrier... and directly influenced the F-35B's STOVL tech. 👀

No es de los aviones más populares de la industria aeronáutica argentina, pero realmente fue un muy buen avión. El IA-50 Guaraní fue un avión bimotor turbohélice de transporte ligero y enlace, desarrollado en los años 60 por la Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (en ese momento Fábrica

The Martin P6M SeaMaster was a Jet-powered flying boat bomber built for US Navy nuclear strikes. Swept wings, high engines to dodge spray, open-ocean ops. First flew in '55, nearly operational—canceled '59 for budget reasons. Cold War relic of seaplane dreams long gone.🫡

In this rare Cold War photo (late 1960s/early 1970s), three Polish Air Force pilots proudly pose next to an IAB-500 bomb hanging from a Sukhoi Su-7. These ingenious devices were used in training to simulate a nuclear explosion — complete with fireball and mushroom cloud!
