Ask a large language model for the combat radius of a foreign fighter and it will give you a number. Confident, specific, formatted like a fact. It may also be entirely invented. That is an inconvenience if you are writing a school essay. It is something else if you...

Every elegant aircraft has an ungainly predecessor. Before the Hawker Siddeley Harrier hovered over Falklands task forces and Marine Corps flight decks, there was the Hawker P.1127: a stubby, bug-eyed prototype that looked less like a fighter than an experiment that...
Storia e leggende, Aviazione militare
Before the Lancaster, before the B-17, before the very idea of a four-engined heavy bomber was settled doctrine, one already existed — and it was bombing London. The Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI, built from 1916, was a four-engined biplane with a wingspan of 42.2...

On the morning of 27 August 1939, over the Heinkel works at Rostock-Marienehe, a small, stub-nosed monoplane lifted off with a sound no one had heard from an aeroplane before: a rising, tearing howl in place of the familiar hammer of pistons. It was the Heinkel He...

Quattro dei motori turboelica più potenti mai costruiti fanno girare otto enormi eliche, ciascuna pala descrivendo un cerchio più alto di una casa, e il suono è profondo e lacerante...

Niente motore. Niente carburante per aerei. Niente razzo. Solo un sottile aliante bianco, le cui lunghe ali si nutrono di invisibili fiumi d'aria ascensionale, salendo più in alto di un aereo spia U-2 nel gelido nero della stratosfera.
