Military aircraft have become extremely technologically advanced and task specific throughout the history of air warfare. As soon as aircraft were put to use in warfare they became a necessity to win and advance. The biggest technological advances in military aircraft began after World War 2. There are planes designed for specific tasks such as air to ground combat, air to air combat, surveillance, bombing, mail carriers, and troop transportation. All of these different tasks performed by military
INTRODUCTION OF STEALTH TECHNOLOGY: Most of the common people would be unaware of this technology and they would first ask what is this technology? Stealth technology is that technology which covers the range of technology which is used by defence men, air craft 's, missiles, satellites so that they become invisible to the radar , infrared, solar and other detection methods. It is combination of technologies that aims to reduce the distances at which a vehicle or a person can be detected

They were built strongly and carried cannons capable of destroying enemy ships. In today's age, the aircraft carrier and battleships are the rulers of the sea. Aircraft carriers were first developed in WWII along with planes. Conventional naval guns were limited to a range of about 20 miles, but by World War II the aircraft carrier, a ship capable of launching, recovering, and storing aircraft that could themselves destroy ships had extended the battle range of surface fleets by as much as 300
brutal wars ever to be recorded in history. Great Britain was falling to the Nazis, at the time Great Britain wasn’t as advanced as they are now. Being allied with the most advanced country at the time, the United States, they asked them to create an aircraft that would help them get out of their plight. The United States responded with the most advanced warplane in the history of the world. What is the B-29? World War Two was such a brutal war that the United States
• The airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals. The benefits of Stealth Aircraft can also be an Anti-surface munitions like the JSOW, JASSM, Apache/SCALP/Storm Shadow, Taurus/KEPD and many others are specifically shaped and treated to minimize their radar and IR signatures. This has two useful payoffs: one the one hand
1. The United States Air Force is the dominant force in the world in terms of air power. The mission is to “Fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace.” Currently, the Air Force accomplishes this mission well, taking to the sky and dominating both air and space with little opposition. However, the question remains whether the Air force can produce these same effects in the future. The purpose of this paper is to advocate that the United States Air Force is unprepared to remain the dominant
Although the two camps did agree on some conceptual ideas such as Pershing supporting to some degree, strategic missions, he strongly disagreed with Mitchell’s desire to create an air force independent of the ground forces (ix). Not agreeing with your boss is not a new concept, especially in the military, but Billy Mitchell seemed to want to make an art form of it
Many people noticed their presence when the Japanese fleet were flying in, but they thought it was their own military at first. The Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, striking force of 353 Japanese aircraft led by Commander Mitsuo Fuchida. The attack launched from six heavy aircraft carriers accompanied by 24 supporting vessels. The United States wasn't ready for war with the Japanese. Lieutenant Ruff raced to the starboard and the Arizona was erupting in a heavy cloud of smoke and flame
of Britain is regarded as the most famous military engagement of World War II. The fall of France in June 1940 to Nazi Germany not only left Britain as the only European power working actively against the Germans but also left them vulnerable to bombing campaigns launched from Northern France, having only to travel twenty-five miles across the English Channel to reach targets in south-east England1. The quick surrender of France allowed German forces to direct their attention towards Britain. Although
