The first class on a Singapore Airlines A380 is amazing. Cool

Probably dating myself, but

* the SR-71 Blackbird, or even
* the Valkyrie.

Single most impressive air display i witnessed to date is the Lightning. It also sounds the most boring - but im sure some folk will appreciate it.

Incredibly short take off, probably the shortest ive seen without a jump ramp.
rotated 90 degrees to the vertical, fully lit the afterburner during the rotate and about 8 to 10 seconds later was invisible against the blue sky. about 20 seconds later completely inaudible.

and that was it - some more aircraft passed by - i think the arrows wooshed in and did the thang.

Then it came ripping over head at well - made you duck, ripped your eardrums to pieces, and oh yeh it suddenly smells of manure around here speed.

I clapped.

Concorde was an impressive machine, but all in all it was a mistake. Was born out of the "faster is better" mentality that transitioned from propellers to jets and also from cheap oil, and lacking those, it was left behind the economy curve. Curently, nobody would pay for the true cost of SST (I think it's telling that military never bothered themselves with SST) and currently air transportation as a business is driven by price. Put in short, there's not enough people whose time is worth enough to pay for SST, and so it's unlikely we ever see SST again.


We did that with 1950s technology.

We have plans for another called the son of concorde.

The total flight time from Brussels to Australia allowing for air traffic control would be four hours and forty minutes. The engines will use liquid hydrogen and the cost of a ticket is estimated to be around $2000.

If we brits had Americas funding by god we would have bases on mars by now.

Just imagine us with todays tech and our 19th century money.

Now, how couldn't you just LOVE an airplane called "Jesús del Gran Poder"?

(The real thing)

Sevilla - Bahia, 6274 km nonstop, March 24th 1929

Or the unfortunate Cuatro Vientos?

Sevilla - La Habana, 6300 km nonstop, June 8th 1933.

Disappeared during the Habana - Ciudad de Mexico lap; it is suspected that it crash-landed somewhere in the state of Oaxaca and the crew was murdered by the locals and then the plane was dismantled and buried.
