In December 2014, NASA awarded Lockheed Martin a contract to study the feasibility of building the SR-72's propulsion system using existing turbine engine technologies, The $892,292 (~$1.13 million in 2023) contract funded a design study to determine the viability of a TBCC propulsion system by combining one of several current turbine engines, with a very low Mach ignition Dual Mode Ramjet (DMRJ).
The aircraft carried high-altitude cameras which were able to take oblique shots at 45 degrees up to 60 nm range from the aircraft with a 30 inch resolution. ELINT/SIGINT equipment was carried in the nose. A total of 21 RB-57F aircraft were eventually re-manufactured from existing B-57A, B-57B and RB-57D airframes. Some RB-57Fs used in the ...
DZYNE had previously worked on the Long Endurance Aircraft Program (LEAP), which produced an autonomous aircraft deployed in 2016 and could fly for up to 40 hours. This prior experience led to the development of ULTRA, which the Air Force officially started buying in the 2025 budget request, procuring four drones for $35 million. [1]
In the video filmed from the cockpit, the Chinese fighter can be seen flying in front of the RC-135 plane’s nose, with the US plane then shaking in the turbulence it created.
An AI system has helped control a US military aircraft for the first time ever, the Air Force announced on Wednesday. The ARTUµ algorithm flew alongside a pilot aboard a U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane ...
A US spy plane flew above the Taiwan Strait in international airspace, prompting a response from China. The event comes just days after German warships made a notable transit through the tense ...
The UAV being deployed to Afghanistan, despite the Taliban having no radar, led to speculation that the aircraft was used to spy on Pakistan or Iran. Phil Finnegan, a UAV analyst at an aerospace consulting firm, suggests the stealth capabilities of the Sentinel are being used to fly in nearby countries.
