NASA’s X-43D Was Designed to Hold Mach 15 — About 11,000 Miles per Hour, 3 Miles Every Second — for 30 Seconds of Powered Flight. Development Was to Begin in Fiscal Year 2005, Run 4 Years, and End in 3 Flights a Year Apart. Not One Vehicle Was Ever Built.
Summary and Key Points: The X-43D was going to be the fastest air-breathing aircraft ever flown, and it does not exist. NASA and Boeing designed it to hold Mach 15 — roughly 11,000 miles per hour, three miles every second, ninety miles covered in thirty seconds of powered flight. The…

Summary and Key Points: The Eurofighter Typhoon was designed in the 1980s as a Cold War interceptor and first flew in 1994, years before stealth became the price of admission to modern air combat. It cannot be made stealthy — the canard-delta layout and external weapons stations rule it out…
The US Army Says the New M1E3 Abrams Will Be About 25 Percent Lighter Than Today’s Tank and Burn About 50 Percent Less Fuel. It Has an Unmanned Turret, an Autoloader, and a Crew of 3 Instead of 4 — the First American Main Battle Tank Since 1980 Without a Human Loader.
Summary and Key Points: The U.S. Army is about to hand soldiers its next main battle tank roughly four years ahead of schedule. Four M1E3 Abrams prototypes are going to the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, later this year, with the National Training…
