Ever since the advent of the jet engine in the 1940s, the idea of making aircraft go as fast as possible has excited aircraft designers all over the world. Of course, we know two of the fastest aircraft ever made are the hypersonic X-15 and the SR-71 Blackbird. But when it comes to military jet fighters, it’s difficult to reach speeds of Mach 3 +, simply as more than just speed comes into the equation when it comes to developing such an aircraft. It has to work in its intended role. Over the years, the United States has developed many great fighter jets. There…
The Lightning would become the first, and only, British made jet fighter that could reach speeds of Mach 2 making it the fastest British jet ever. The Cold War was perhaps the most fascinating period for military aviation. It saw the Soviet Union and the West locked in a fierce arms race. Aircraft were of course needed to counter the other sides, strategic bombers became the nuclear deterrent and the technology involved in aircraft was really pushed to its limits and beyond. The Cold War saw many incredible, fast fighter jets take to the skies, ranging from the American F-104 Starfighter, right up…
In the early 1950s, the Chance Vought company was looking to build a new military jet fighter for the United States Navy. Buoyed by the success of its truly fantastic F4U Corsair in World War 2, the company came up with the tailless F7U Cutlass. This aircraft first took flight in September 1948 and would enter US Navy service in July 1951. It was a radical looking aircraft that promised so much. However, it quickly became apparent that the Cutlass was a deeply flawed aircraft. Numerous technical and handling problems plagued the aircraft throughout its service career. To make matters worse, the Cutlass was…
The fearsome F-22 Raptor is one of the US Air Force’s most advanced aircraft, yet thanks to its stealth technology, none have been sold for export. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is one of the most advanced military aircraft in the world. The aircraft entered US Air Force service in 2005, and is an agile, fast and incredibly capable. Something else it is though is very expensive. Unbelievably expensive, as costs for the F-22 went up and up during development. While the latest Lockheed Martin aircraft, the F-35 Lightning II, is available for export, the F-22 is not. Thanks to its high cost…
Mauricio Pochettino’s impending arrival as Chelsea manager will see the Argentine become the fourth man to lead the Blues in Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali’s still fledging tenure as co-controlling owners. The former Tottenham and PSG boss will take over Chelsea with the club at a low ebb, with the prospect of a first bottom half finish in the Premier League since 1996. Pochettino will face a significant in-tray, including managing the bloated squad which contributed to Graham Potter’s departure last month, with interim Frank Lampard also unable to get a tune out of the club’s big-money arrivals.

The art of warfare has evolved. For context, in the Middle Ages, countries fought wars using ranged and hand-held weapons like bow, sling, Javelin, war hammer, battleaxe, and the likes, in a guerrilla-style fighting. As a warrior, you have to be physically strong and highly skilled with weapons to ensure you make it back home alive. Now, the game has changed. While you still have to be fit physically, fitness and human strength doesn’t necessary guarantee survival at war anymore. And from ranged and hand-held weapons, the world militaries have now become extremely sophisticated and deadly through the use of advanced…

Sure, the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II aren’t ending up in an actual dogfight, but if they did, the ultimate winner would be a very close call. Fifth-gen fighters, like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, could probably give UFOs a run for their money when it comes to the tech they’re packed with! From stealth technology to the best avionics that make them more maneuverable than nearly everything else in the sky, the F-22 and F-35 were pretty much the best of the best. You won’t find more advanced military jets than these around, in a lot of ways. At least until the…
