As an airplane ethusiast and wannabe pilot, I assumed i had seen it all when it came to aircrafts and airplane designs. Sometimes i try to imagine what these aircraft engineers are thinking, airplane designs has evolved since 1903 trying to meet up with demand of the growing technological advancement as well as customer demands.The design of aircrafts helps one identify these airplanes just by looking at them generally there are airplanes that have vary similiar design feature with very little distict patterns, some cannot even tell the difference between a Boeing 767 from an Airbus A330, or A320 from B737. Only aviation enthusiats can tell the deifference by the design of these airplanes. However you don't have to be an aviation geek to be able to tell, when you see a Boeing 747 or the Airbus A380, and to some extent the new B787. Theses aircraft have unique designs that enables any person identify these aircrafts, the designs and purpose of these airplanes puts them on the spotlight.
Aircrafts are designed to meet a certain aviation criteras and customer demands, as well as being environmentally friendly. The A380 and B747-8I were designed to carry more passengers as well as provide comfort and luxuary, fuel efficient.
The Antonov-225 and C5 Galaxy designed to carry more tons par trip. The An225 aka Mriya which means "Inspiration" is the heaviest and biggest airplane in the world. She has 32 wheels in total 14 wheel bogis on each side of the main landing gear and 2 nose bogies, each bogie has two wheels a crew of 6. 2 pilots, 2 Flight Engineers, Navigator and Radio Operator.
B2 Spirit for stealthy missions (it cost over $700million a piece), Space Shuttle for space travels and orbital movement,
Boeing Phantom X-48B used by NASA as an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle, The Concorde for passeger flight capable travelling faster than the speed of sound,
Tupolev Tu-22M just like the concord its a supersonic swept-wing jet, not for passenger use but rather a Russian bomber.
SR-71 Blackbird, a strategic reconnaissance aircraft holds the record of the fastest jet aircraft today at Mach 3. This fantastic aircraft was designed by Clarence Leonard Johnson
Thease are really nice photographs and I hope you keep on going on with this. I saw the Super Transported (well that's what I think its called) on Google images and clicked on your wed sight and it was really cool so thank you.
