Months pass and still present in our minds. The day where you bought your first car, the first foreign trip or the day that gave the first balloon ride. These gifts are not only for a day, are forever, remember ballooning and remember the people who were with you in the experience. If you wish to remember, a gift lik...

AgustaWestland is a joint venture formed by Agusta of Italy, makers of the A-109, and Westland of Great Britain, makers of the Lynx. The EH-101 is a direct competitor to the Sikorsky S-92 and was developed for both military and civil roles. The multi-mission capabilities...

This, however, is only the foundation of your "anti jet lag" plan and all of your sound preparatory work will be wasted if you don't also ensure that you follow a sensible routine during your flight.Here are just five of the many thin...

There is, however, a great deal that you can do in preparation for your departure to help you overcome or eliminate jet lag a...

Recently it was announced that they would put this new airborne laser system onto fighter jets. The system, which will go onto a fighter jet would b...

The system, which will go onto a fighter jet would be called the; andquot;HELLADSandquot; or High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, it is being tested now. It would be a system based on Israel's THEL system which is a m...

It is a giant heavy lift Blimp being evaluated by the United States Department of Defense's special research division; DARPA. What is DARPA? Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. You see they have been looking at how to move more for less? Imagine having to move millions of tons of fighting gear to the battle area? Well giant blimps may hold the key, because they...

There are also many ways to move troops to the area of conflict. One way to move vast amounts of people, is to do so with large aircraft. Another idea, which has been kicked around, was lowering body functions to a near standstill through human hibernation techniques like what an anesthesiologist would do....

Since they are made of polymer plastic blends it will be possible to add in some material memory manufacturing in the process. This would allow the rotor blades made out of this new plastic material to change shape. These materials are said to be ten times the strength of steel and three times lighter than aluminu...

They proved that private space flight is feasible and safe. With the help of some Billionaire entrepreneurial investors they are poised to build an entire industry of Private Space Flight. This after other said it was impossible. And for their efforts and vision they w...
