10 the fastest fighter in the world Part 1

The following list of names is 10 (Ten) the fastest military aircraft ever. All represented at mach speed or the speed of sound units and each of the aircraft, piloted using a jet engine. Just so you know the speed of mach 1 is equivalent to 1225 km / h.

All aircraft listed below can travel at supersonic speed. Wear seat belts and prepare to fly!

1. F-14D Super Tomcat-Mach 2:34

If you ever watch Top Gun, you'll see the Tomcat, though perhaps one of the previous series. F-14D Tomcat, designed by Grumman, is clearly one of the fastest types of military aircraft.
Capable of reaching speeds at Mach 2.34, the plane was made in order to destroy enemy aircraft at night. While many aircraft are only allowed to fly in decent weather, the F-14D can fly and destroy in all kinds of conditions. Not only that, but can be attacked at night and in weather that is not too good, this aircraft is also capable of firing at once 6 targets at the same time. Tomcat is also great for detecting enemy aircraft from a distance of 100 miles.

Maiden flight on November 23, 1987 from page Calverton Grumman and the final prototype flew on February 9, 1990. F-14D Tomcat is the last series of the series F-14 F is upgraded with computer software that is much more reliable and sophisticated. However, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney assume the aircraft is not competitive enough to compete with today's modern technology and cancel the F-14 production in 2008.
What is said now?

On March 10, 2006, F-14D Tomcat retired from his service in the United States Navy. Earlier, on February 8, 2006 marked as the last date of these aircraft are used when engaged in combat in Iraq.

The aircraft was built as many as 712 units, but most of them now must be 'punished' with cruelty. Tomcat is still intact without much mechanical damage stored at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. You will also find many models in different trajectories of air and space museum. But others deliberately destroyed so that Iran and other countries will not get access to spare part of this aircraft (reported 20 F-14 units are still operating in Iran, from a total of 44 units in total).

In 2007, 23 of 165 Tomcat accidentally destroyed. The cost of the destruction of the aircraft is right around $ 900,000, this is equivalent to approximately 42% of the total manufacturing cost of the F-14D Super Tomcat!.

2. MiG-23 Flogger - 2:35 Mach

MiG-23 Flogger built to replace the MiG-21 Fishbed before. Made with a more powerful engine and the wing sweep angle settings that can change variables such as speed, time of takeoff, and landing time.
Those who once flew with this plane saying that the Flogger is one of the best fighter aircraft ever made and relatively easy to fly.

Although used for the Russian defense and radar tracking system with infra-red, this aircraft was acquired by the U.S. and renamed the YF-113 with some changes.

Flogger is widely used by the Soviet Union and Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, East Germany, and some Warsaw Pact allies. Countries such as Cuba, North Korea, India, Egypt, Syria, and others also have the MiG-23S.

What is said now?

Although not used all that often in the past, the MiG-23 remains a fighter who is very popular in many countries. About 11,000 units of the MiG-23S is still flown by many air forces around the world, such as Angola, Ukraine, Sudan, Kazakhstan, and India. MiG-23S is also found in various museums, including Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Kiev and the Museum of Aviation in Belgrade.

3. Su-27 Flanker - 2:35 Mach

The Soviet Union created the Su-27 Flanker air supremacy to rival the U.S. with F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon him. Capable of flying at Mach 2.35, Flanker become the most formidable fighter in his day.
Final draft of the Su-27 finish on April 20, 1981. Flanker lots of record, including the speed of take-off and climb the highest in altitude. Although it is a project of Russia, other countries such as Vietnam and China is very interested in producing their own version of Flanker, but these costs are very attractive: $ 180 million!.

What is said now?

Today you will find the Su-27 Flankers and still keep flying military use. Although the Soviet Union has become history, Russia still has 449 active aircraft, Belarus has 19 units and 74 units of Ukraine. In addition to these countries, the U.S., Ethiopia, Indonesia and other countries also have some of these aircraft. Currently, the aircraft is sold at a price of about $ 5 million. Interested!

4. F-14 Tomcat - 2:37 Mach

The U.S. Navy is looking for a long-term fighter and Grumman has the answer: F-14. Equipped with wing angle settings can be changed and a large fuel capacity, this aircraft is topnotch. With the ability to fire missiles at enemy aircraft from more than 100 miles, to be very useful to protect the mother ship that was attacked from the air.
After the Soviet Union disbanded in the 1990s, the aircraft was lowered ability only to a limited ground attack capabilities previously installed and are no longer needed. Today the F14 has been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet because of rising maintenance costs.

What is said now?

F-14D Tomcat was retired on September 22, 1996. Last military mission in Iraq is dropping bombs on February 8, the same year. Because the cost to build and maintain the F-14 was too expensive, the creation of any new F-14 has been discontinued, and the tomcat which still operates slowly lowered from the air. In the U.S., you will not find the F-14 aircraft flying or against foreigners. Instead, you will often find them in museums.

Although none of the F-14 that flew in the U.S. again, the Iranian Air Force still have it when the U.S. donated to them in 1976. So Iran is the only country besides the U.S. are using this plane.

5. Su-24 Fencer - Mach 2.4

Su-24 Fencer is a Soviet-made aircraft that was originally intended to rival the U.S. F-111. However Fencer prove that he is much better, much faster, smaller, lighter, and more powerful than the F-111. In fact, Fencer often referred to as a most dangerous aircraft ever had in the Soviet Union.
The advantages of this aircraft is that it is capable of reaching Mach 2.4 at low altitude, while not many planes are able to do so. It takes a certain height to be able to fly at supersonic speeds. Fencer is also equipped with a laser-designators missiles that have a better accuracy. This technology along with very strong radar makes Fencer. Despite its maiden flight on July 2, 1967, Fencer formally introduced to the military in 1974.

What is said now?

Su-24 Fencers built 1,400 units. The aircraft is still used by Russian and Ukrainian Air Force Air Force. The aircraft was used in 2008 during the conflict in Georgia. Apart from the two countries, places like Iran, Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Belarus, and many other countries still use the aircraft for their military.

Free Plane Tickets To Japan


To increase tourist arrivals to the country of Japan, Japan's tourism agency offers free airfare for 10,000 foreign nationals. This program is a special place because of declining foreign tourists to Japan after the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011 that triggered explosions and entirely Daiici reactor in Fukushima area.

This program only offers a free ticket only, whereas for accommodation and meal costs, borne by the tourists themselves. These activities will be conducted in April 2012, pending approval from the government.

According to data from the Japanese Tourism Board, tourist arrivals to Japan has decreased 50 percent from a year earlier. With this free ticket program can restore the Japanese Industrial Pariwista as usual.

To get tickets, Japan Tourism Agency uses the online application. The condition is that the applicants must explain in detail, which areas they want to visit. Then the Japan Tourism Agency will select the applicants who are eligible to get free airline tickets, and the selected applicants are obliged to write about their trip in Japan to be published via the Internet.

So just try apply from now, who knows could be a trip to Japan

Indonesian Plane Falling Much


Indonesia first time there is no aerospace Habibie could make airplanes, and lastly there cn235 Habibie create cn 250 aircraft that have not been completed until now due to lack of funding constraints. if many generations of the future generation who continue promoting the struggle of Habibie's Indonesian nation may already be a great aircraft manufacturers and famous.
more terrible again and make
in Indonesia were already frequent presence of news about Boeing aircraft dropped a lot of killing the passenger, including:

The first:
accidents in the month of September alone there are several Cassa 212-200 planes owned airline PT. Buana Nusantara Water (NBA) in the forest Bahorok, Langkat. which led to 18 who died.
the second:
Cassa 212-100 aircraft operator's Sabang Merauke Raya Air Charter had an accident in the area of ​​Tanjung rafting, Bintan regency. This is because there is a broken machine.
The third: MA-60 aircraft owned by Merpati Nusantara Airlines crashed in the Gulf of Kaimana, West Papua is because the machine errors are also
and the fourth and so on until the year 2011 is still a lot of planes in Indonesia is increasingly plane can not be trusted.
we learn from experience and they should be the next generation in Indonesia it was time to show their ability in making aircraft that only too well the quality, and not only in physical form only a qualified and professional management should also form a great and professional.

Inventors Theory, Factors and Methods Habibie (Aircraft Technology)


The outer shell may look silky smooth flawless. But who knows, the inside porous. This uncertainty facing the aircraft industry until 40 years ago. Users and manufacturers alike do not know exactly, the extent to which body aircraft still operate reliably. Consequently it can be fatal. In the early 1960s, the accident aircraft still often occurs because of damage to construction that is not detected. Tiredness (fatigue) on the body is still difficult to detect with the limited tools. There is not a laser scanner with a sensor-supported computer data processing unit, to address this sensitive issue.

Fatigue critical points are usually on the connection between the wing and fuselage or the wings and engine cradle. This element is having a nervous loud and constantly, either when his takeoff and landing. When taking off, the joints receiving the air pressure (uplift) is large. When it touched down, this section also bear the violent crushing of the fuselage. Metal fatigue occurs, and that was the beginning of the cracks (crack).

Point vines, sometimes ranging in size from 0.005 millimeter continue to propagate. Becoming increasingly elongated and branched. If not detected, the stakes are expensive, because the wing can suddenly broken when the plane took off. Aviation course very concerned, especially when the same machines began to change from propeller planes to jets. The greater the potential fatigue.

That's when a young boy genius who appears to try to offer solutions. He was only 32 years. Posture small but very energetic demeanor. He is Dr. Ing. Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, a man born in Pare-Pare, South Sulawesi, on June 25, 1936.

Habibie, who later discover how it works crack propagation point. The calculations are quite detailed, until the count of atoms. By the aviation world, the theory of Habibie was then called the crack progression. From here dubbed as Mr. Habibie. Crack. Of course, this theory makes the aircraft safer. Not only can avoid the risk of plane crashes, but also makes maintenance easier and cheaper.

Before the point of crack can be detected early, the engineers appear to anticipate the possibility of a rift construction by raising safety factor (SF). How, to increase the strength of construction materials far above the theoretical requirement. As a result, heavier materials needed. For aircraft, combined with steel aluminum material. But after the point of crack can be calculated then the degree of SF can be lowered. For example, by selecting a mixture of materials wings and a lighter airframe. The portion of reduced steel, aluminum increasingly dominant in the body of the aircraft. In the world of aviation, this breakthrough is famous as the factor Habibie.

Habibie factors could relieve the operating empty weight (without heavy passenger aircraft weight and fuel) to 10% from the previous weight. Even this figure could drop to 25% after Habibie composite materials slipped into the fuselage. However, this weight reduction could not make the maximum take off weight of his (the total weight of passengers and aircraft plus fuel) come degenerate. That way, in general haulage and power increased aircraft cruising farther. So economically, aircraft performance can be improved.

Habibie factor was also instrumental in the development of merging technology airframe parts per part. So that the cylindrical fuselage connection with the oval side wings capable of withstanding air pressure during takeoff body. So also in connection with the landing gear fuselage is much more robust, so able to withstand the load when the plane landed. Factors that jet engine to add the potential for fatigue to be down.

Habibie scientific history began when he received a scholarship from the government to study at the Technische Hochschule Facultaet Die Fue Maschinenwesen, Aachen, Germany, in 1956. For a year earlier, Habibie was listed as a student of ITB. After pocketing his diploma majoring in aircraft construction Ingenieur, 1960, while continuing his studies, he became assistant Sciences Research Institute of Light Construction on campus.

Brain Habibie seems more watery when Ingenieur his doctor's degree with honors disabet suma cum laude in 1965. The average value of his courses 10. Presatsi is believed to be made head of the Department of Research and Development of Structure Analysis on the Hamburger Flugzeugbau (HFB). Its main task is to solve the problem of stability of the construction of the back of the Fokker 28 aircraft. Fabulous, just within a period of six months, the problem was solved by Habibie.

He earned the trust more prestigious, which is designing a whole new plane. One of the fruits of his work is the prototype of DO-31, propeller aircraft capable of fixed first takeoff and land vertically, which was developed with industry Donier HFB. The design was then purchased by Aviation and Space Agency (NASA).

Habibie only until the year 1969 alone in the HFB, as glimpsed by the Messerschmitt Boelkow Blohm GmbH (MBB), the industry's biggest aircraft, based in Hamburg. In this new place, Habibie's career skyrocketed. Position Vice President / Director of Technology MBB disabetnya 1974. Only Habibie, people outside the German nationality who is able to occupy the second highest position.

In this place also Habibie to formulate the original in the field of thermodynamics, lightweight construction, aerodynamic and crack progression. In aeronautical literature, the findings of Habibie was then known as the Theory of Habibie, Habibie Factors and Methods Habibie. Patents from all the findings it has been recognized and used by international aviation.

Airbus A-300 produced by a European consortium (European Aeronautic Defence and Space) could not be separated from contact with Habibie. It's known in this consortium joined Daimler, Mercedes-Benz manufacturer, which acquired the MBB. So that Habibie is entitled to royalties from the technologies used in wide-bodied aircraft that. Apart from Airbus, Habibie also received royalties from rocket manufacturers in many countries, which use a lot of light construction technology.

In 1978, Habibie called back to the country by President Soeharto and has since then actively in the efforts of aerospace technology development in Indonesia, among other results are made in Indonesia's first aircraft CN-235 and N-250.

Habibie scientific achievements gained recognition in the international world. He became an honorary member of various institutions in the field of aerospace. Among others in Gesselschaft fuer Luft und Raumfahrt (Institute of Aviation and Aerospace) of Germany, The Royal Aeronautical Society, London (England), The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (Sweden), the Academie Nationale de l'Air et de l'Espace ( France) and The U.S. Academy of Engineering (United States). Meanwhile, in the form of awards, Habibie received von Karman Award (1992) are in the field of aerospace arguably prestige is almost equivalent to the Nobel Prize. And two years later received a prestigious award that is not less, namely Edward Warner Award. (Hidayat Gunadi, Hatim Ilwan)
