Dark Eagles, by Curtis Peebles; Presidio Pr; ISBN: 089141696X; Revised edition (September 1, 1999) "Peebles admirably assembles, from a multitude of sources, a compact complete history of U.S. programs to develop so- called black or secret aircraft. Those began with work on the first American jet, the Bell P-59, during World War II, and proceeded to include the construction of such eventual headline-makers as the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, which distinguished itself in the Gulf War. Also covered are such lesser-known vehicles as several families of reconnaissance drones, some fast and high, some low and slow. Besides the hardware, Peebles covers the logistics, administration, and politics of keeping multibillion-dollar programs under wraps until they succeed or fail. Occasionally, such secrecy has led to fantasizing aircraft that do not exist--the demonstrably legendary Mach 5 Aurora, for example, which was a favorite of flying saucer cultists. Overall, one of the year's best additions to aviation collections." (review source: Amazon.com) hi-res PDF (4125Kb) hi-res ZIP (3622Kb)

Germany's Secret Weapons in World War II by Roger Ford, Paul Wood; Motorbooks International; ISBN: 0760308470; (March 2000) "During the course of war, man's ingenuity inevitably results in the development of new tools of destruction. At no time and place in history has this been more true than World War II Germany, when scientists and engineers of the Third Reich mounted a campaign intended to change the face of warfare itself. Superbly illustrated with full-color drawings and specially commissioned cutaways, this study provides a wealth of information on all of Germany's secret weapons programs during World War II, offering an in-depth look at Germany's successes and failures with rocketry and jets, helicopters, submarines and torpedoes, armored fighting vehicles, artillery, anti-tank armaments, and surface-to-surface missiles. Each piece of artwork is accompanied by a comprehensive specification table." (review source: Amazon.com) hi-res PDF (7198Kb) hi-res ZIP (6851Kb)

The Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World of Antigravity Technology by Nick Cook; Broadway Books; ISBN: 0767906276; 1st broad edition (August 13, 2002) "Imagine the power, economic and military, that would fall into the hands of the person who figured out how to bypass the ordinary laws of physics, defy gravity, and travel near the speed of light. Though it sometimes seems to fall in the realm of science fiction more than pure science, aviation-technology journalist Nick Cook's intriguing tale involves the long quest to develop antigravity vehicles and the sometimes eccentric characters who have played a part in it: Nazi rocket engineers, backyard inventors, NASA scientists, conspiracy theorists, and UFO watchers among them. The last group figures, Cook explains, because the ideal craft for "electrogravitic reaction" would take the form of a disc, a design consideration seen in the shape of current stealth aircraft. It could just be, the author suggests, that what witnesses have taken to be flying saucers might instead be antigravity-aircraft prototypes, though he cautions that "the subject is too complex ... to conform to a single explanation." And therein hangs a good part of this always interesting, if admittedly speculative, story, which, regardless of the truth of the matter (or, perhaps, antimatter), will appeal to techies and Trekkies alike."

Aurora: The Pentagon's Secret Hypersonic Spyplane by Bill Sweetman; Motorbooks International; ASIN: 0879387807; (July 1993) "Most people who speak about military secrecy are kooks who believe that the government is in cahoots with "the Visitors." But Bill Sweetman isn't one of them. His "Aurora: The Pentagon's Secret Hypersonic Spyplane" examines the best available evidence and draws a logical conclusion: the military has at least one high-speed aircraft. Sweetman overviews operations at Groom Lake from the U-2 to the A-12 to the Have Blue and F-117. He also looks back at most major hypersonic research programs that were carried out over the years. From there he talks about air-breathing rockets and arrives at the general shape of the aircraft known as Aurora. My complaints? The book was such good reading that I was disappointed when it ended. It was too short (but the government has done a good job keeping the program secret, so we're lucky that Sweetman was able to write a book at all.) And I felt that Sweetman was holding some information back. He mentions that someone got a head-on view of Aurora at Groom and said that the intake 'resembled an evil smiley face.' I want to know more about this informant and if they had any more information. Aviation fans, go out and read this book now.

The great leaps in aviation history - the Wright brothers'first flight, Lindbergh's first crossing of the Atlantic, Yeager breaking the sound barrier - were all made by pushing the boundaries of aeronautical science, wringing extraordinary performance out of experimental and untested aircraft.
However, for every success like these there were new aircraft designs which flew badly (or not at all), crashed on landing, burned up fuel at an alarming rate, exploded without warning, or pointlessly wasted millions of dollars.
The World's Worst Aircraft takes a lighthearted look at 150 of these flying failures - old and new - and asks the pertinent questions. Why did they ever get off the drawing board? What went wrong? Why were they sq unreliable, and how much money was wasted by governments, manufacturers and individuals trying to make them a success?
Each aircraft is illustrated with a full-page photograph, annotated to show particularly bad, dangerous or unusual features. The lively text provides an insight into the history and (lack of) development of each type, alongside archive images from the aircraft's heyday, artworks or diagrams.
Featuring some of the world's weirdest, strangest and most dangerous planes, this book is a perfect illustration of how not to build aircraft.

Концепция летающего крыла - идеального с точки зрения аэродинамикилетательного аппарата без фюзеляжа, хвостового оперения и прочихэлементов - возникла в начале века практически одновременно с первымиполетами самолетов. В последующий период целый ряд конструкторов спеременным успехом использовали эту и близкие к ней схемы в поискахоптимального облика летательных аппаратов тяжелее воздуха. Но наиболеепоследовательно и успешно а 30-40 гг. идея летающего крыла развиваласьв Германии усилиями братьев Вальтера и Реймара Хортен. Покоренныеэстетический совершенством аэродинамически "чистого" летающего крыла,Хортены на протяжении всей своей карьеры, начиная с первых летающихмоделей, строили аппараты только этой схемы. Вершиной их творческогопути стал реактивный истребитель-бомбардировщик Н IX (Но 229).
Не успев проявить себя в бою, этот самолет стал героем множествалегенд. Наготавливаемый из дерева и стали в деревенских мастерских,использующий в качестве топлива сырую нефть, несущий мощноенаступательное вооружение и броню, способный выдерживать 7-кратныеперегрузки в воздушном бою и бомбометании с пикирования, доставлящийтонну бомб на дальность 1000 километров зa час полетного времени,оставаясь при этом невидимым для лучей радаров, Но 229 мог статьподлинным «чудо-оружием»...

        Знаменитые самолеты: XB-70 Валькирия / Great planes. XB-70 Valkyrie
       
Наверное, невозможно намного обогнать свое время, и тем не менеебезнадежно отстать от него. Но такой редчайший пример в авиационнойистории есть - это 200-тонный сверхзвуковой бомбардировщик. Созданныйдля замены B-52, новый самолет оказался слишком уязвим для зенитныхракет и не выдерживал конкуренции со стороны ракет баллистических. Всетехнологические и научные изыскания оказались не ко двору стремительноменявшейся в 60-е годы стратегии воздушной войны. Из двух построенных"Валькирий" до вечной стоянки в авиационном музее дожила только одна."Младшая сестра" ХВ-70-2 погибла в результате столкновения сэскортировавшим ее истребителем F-104 "Старфайтер" Печальный конецодного из самых удивительных самолетов современной эпохи. Но именно емумы обязаны появлением на свет другого знаменитого самолета-перехватчикаМиГ-25, создававшегося для противодействия сверхзвуковому высотномубомбардировщику.
