In the opening space battle, Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Ewan McGregor ) and Anakin Skywalker ( Hayden Christensen ) pilot Jedi interceptors on a mission to rescue Chancellor Palpatine ( Ian ...
The Leduc 022 was the prototype of a mixed-power French interceptor built in the mid-1950s. Designer René Leduc had been developing ramjet-powered aircraft since before World War II and had flown a series of experimental aircraft, the Leduc 0.10 and Leduc 0.21, throughout the 1950s before he was awarded a contract for two examples of a short-range supersonic interceptor armed with two air-to ...
The Vickers Type 559 was a supersonic interceptor aircraft design by the British aircraft company Vickers-Armstrongs and was their submission for Operational Requirement F.155 in 1955. It was not accepted for further consideration; the most valued submissions being from Armstrong Whitworth and Fairey , however the F.155 requirement was dropped ...

The YJ93 started life as the General Electric J79-X275, an enlarged version of the General Electric J79 turbojet with "275" meaning Mach 2.75, the engine's target operating speed. [2] This design evolved into the X279 when Mach 3 cruise became a requirement, and ultimately became the YJ93. [3] The engine used a special high-temperature JP-6 fuel.
In 2005, the giant planet Eta 2 Hydri b was found in orbit around Eta 2 Hydri by measuring radial velocity variations. [5] This object has at least 6.3 [9] times the mass of Jupiter and is orbiting with a period of 1.95 years. It is the first giant planet to be found in orbit around an intermediate-mass giant star.

The second Ki-94 design, made by a team also under Tatsuo Hasegawa as type I, chief designer of the aircraft and responsible for the used airfoil, was a more conventional single-seat, piston-engine monoplane fighter developed for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force along the same requirements as the Nakajima Ki-87, which had been the Army's fall-back design for the original Ki-94.
