Il caccia stealth cinese J-35A ha effettuato il suo primo volo.
In January 2026, two sleek silhouettes pierced a Chinese sky in perfect formation. The J-35A, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation’s answer to the F-35, had taken to the air. What appeared on video footage was a signal: China’s stealth program had moved from theoretical to...
Il tuo aereo viene colpito da un fulmine due volte all'anno.
A blinding flash. A sound like the earth splitting open. Your coffee cup rattles. The cabin lights flicker. Then everything goes back to normal. Most passengers sleep through it. Statistically, commercial aircraft get struck by lightning roughly once or twice every...
Entrambi i motori si guastano a 40.000 piedi: e adesso?
It shouldn’t be survivable. Two massive turbofan engines—the only things keeping a 600,000-pound aircraft aloft—both quit simultaneously at 40,000 feet. No thrust. No electrical power. Dead silent cockpit except for the wind screaming past the fuselage. It’s the...
Sette ore di silenzio: il blocco fantasma imposto dalla FAA su El Paso
At 11:30 p.m. on February 10, the FAA did something it hadn’t done since 9/11: locked down an American city’s airspace with zero public warning. No press release. No email to local authorities. No heads-up to the airport. Just a NOTAM that went live and suddenly El...
L'F-15 atterrato con un'ala sola
On a spring morning in 1983, Israeli pilot Zivi Nedivi was locked in a dogfight when an A-4 Skyhawk appeared in his six o’clock. The collision that followed should have been fatal. Instead, it became aviation’s most impossible survival story. The right wing of...
Sovraccarico a 13.000 piedi: il tragico incidente del C-130 in Bolivia.
On February 27, 2026, a Bolivian Air Force C-130H Hercules loaded with freshly printed banknotes touched down at El Alto International Airport — one of the highest commercial airports on Earth at 4,061 meters above sea level. It never stopped. The aircraft overran the...
Trappole per atterraggi notturni: ciò che i tuoi occhi non ti riveleranno
You’re on a three-mile final. The runway lights are visible — two neat rows of white dots floating in a sea of black. Everything looks normal. You hold the descent. Then, 200 feet above the ground, something feels off. The VASI lights are screaming red....
Migliore planata contro minimo affondamento: una consente di risparmiare distanza, l'altra di risparmiare tempo.
Your engine just quit. The propeller windmills to a stop. The cockpit gets eerily quiet except for the wind and the stall warning horn you’re about to hear if you don’t do something right now. Every student pilot knows the first move: pitch for best glide...
Twenty Miles From Global Chaos — Houthis Threaten Key Strait
The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is 20 miles wide. That’s it. Twenty miles of water separating Yemen from Djibouti, Africa from the Arabian Peninsula, and roughly 12% of global trade from total chaos. The Houthis just threatened to shut it down. Mohammed Mansour, the...
L'ultimo viaggio degli Harrier: i Marines andranno in pensione a giugno.
On June 3, 2026, a Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier will lift off from the runway at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, hover for a moment in that unmistakable way only a Harrier can, and then touch down for the very last time. After more than four decades of service, the...
