The HZ-1 Aerocycle, also known as the YHO-2, was an American one-man "personal helicopter" developed in the mid-1950s. Intended to be operated by inexperienced pilots with a minimum of 20 minutes of instruction, the HZ-1 was expected to become a standard reconnaissance machine with the United States Army. It was not successful due to safety issues (if you fall, that's all) and being too hard to control.

How come the SR-71 was retired and there isn't a replacement for it, but the U2 is still in use with the Air Force?

It was just too darn expensive to fly. When it was retired, the Soviet Union was largely crumbling and posed little threat to high-altitude recon, so no foe really warranted the incredibly high performance. To fly the SR-71 to the Middle East from England would need multiple support aircraft, which means a very high budget. The U-2 does recon far more economically.

A pity too. The SR-71 is an absolutely baller aircraft.

Thanks for the question, Dark.

Flugtag competition at ESMA

It is a tradition in my school to hold a glider competition inspired by the redbull flugtag competition, based on the knowledge acquired about aircraft design and aerodynamics, for which each group made a model airplane with a free theme.

My group designed a shark theme, so our plane would be just like a shark, we designed the plans for a glider and gave it details so that it resembles a shark, in terms of technical level we saw the weight, balance, dimensions, materials that are light as balsa wood and to decorate monocoque paper.

The day of the competition we had to present a dance according to the theme, so we did a synchronized swimming dance and then we launched our plane from the top of a bleacher. In the end, our group managed to win the competition since it flew more than 50 meters, surpassing the rest of the planes.

It was very interesting for me to see how an aircraft works and how it is capable of sustaining itself in the air, it was also fun to build it and give it a little more emotion with the dance.

The article "North American XB-70 Valkyrie — America’s Cold War Supersonic Speed Bomber" by Friedrich Seiltgen, published on The Armory Life, discusses the history and development of the North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie, a planned supersonic strategic bomber for the United States Air Force. Intended to replace the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress and the Convair B-58 Hustler, the Valkyrie was designed during the Cold War to fly faster and higher, evading interceptor aircraft. The program, initiated in the mid-1950s, was ultimately canceled in 1961 due to advancements in Soviet surface-to-air missile technology and the rise of cost-effective Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). The article highlights the Valkyrie's ambitious design goals, including a proposed cruising speed of Mach 3 and an operational altitude of 70,000-75,000 feet. Despite the cancellation, two prototypes were built, contributing valuable data on supersonic flight, aerodynamics, and airplane propulsion. The Valkyrie program also faced a tragic incident in 1966 involving a collision with an F-104 Starfighter during a photo shoot, leading to the destruction of one prototype. The surviving XB-70 is now displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.

 Cabin Crew: A Cornerstone in the Airline Industry and the Success of Flights

The cabin crew, often called flight attendants, play a vital role in the airline industry. They ensure the safety and comfort of passengers on flights. Their duties go beyond serving meals and drinks. They are responsible for many tasks that help flights run smoothly and successfully.

One of the main jobs of the cabin crew is to follow safety procedures and protocols. Before each flight, they perform safety checks to make sure all equipment is working properly. They also give safety briefings to passengers, showing them how to use seat belts, life vests, and emergency exits. During the flight, they keep an eye out for any security threats or emergencies and handle them efficiently.

Cabin crew members also focus on passenger comfort and assistance. They greet passengers as they board the plane, help with seat allocation, and ensure the cabin is secure before takeoff. They answer passenger questions and offer support, especially to those with special needs. In addition, they provide food and beverage services, making sure to respect dietary preferences and restrictions.

During the flight, cabin crew members coordinate with the flight deck to relay important information. They handle passenger issues and complaints with professionalism and tact. They also keep the cabin clean and manage waste disposal.

A typical day for a cabin crew member starts well before the flight. They attend a pre-flight briefing where they receive updates on flight details, weather conditions, special passenger needs, and any security concerns. After the briefing, they prepare the aircraft by performing safety checks and getting the cabin ready for boarding. They balance multiple tasks during the flight, from ensuring safety to providing excellent customer service. After the flight, they conduct a final cabin sweep, report any incidents, and prepare for the next flight.

Choosing a career as a cabin crew member offers many benefits. It is an exciting and dynamic profession that provides opportunities to travel the world and meet people from different cultures. The job requires strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills, making it ideal for those who enjoy working in fast-paced environments and as part of a team. With competitive salaries, travel benefits, and the potential for career advancement, being a cabin crew member is an attractive career option.

Performance aside: what is the coolest, best looking, military aircraft in history?

If you want to break it up into eras, that might be more workable.

The X-15. Not only does it look like a dart, but every one of its 199 flights are the top 199 fastest flights ever. The sheer audacity of the X-series of planes are what I love about them, its face-melting speed and the fact that you are gliding in to land from space is nothing short of ridiculous.

Thanks for the question, Pub.

I love writing essays because it’s like…what I could say in about 6 words (‘We could have used resources better’), I end up dragging out to a paragraph about how terrible I am and how I need to improve incase I have to do this exact thing again in the future.

VZ-8 Airgeep Jeep helicopter with recoilless rifle. The spirit of "everything is possible, but possible doesn't mean it is a great idea."

The guy in the sunglasses is just waiting for "Fortunate Son" to come along and change every picture of being in a hovering thing during the Cold War.

Take fire and then drown while looking ridiculous in the Seageep.

Some other air jeeps (hovercraft death machines)...

What if we removed any protective covering and added more blades? Sure, we'll stick a gun in there too.
