This is Cessna's video to launch the Citation Columbus large-cabin business - the biggest Cessna yet - which will fly in 2011. It's almost 5min long, and a bit talky, but there's some nice CGI work.
This is edited together from US Air Force video and reconstruction animation of the Northrop Grumman B-2 crash at Guam on February 23, 2008. The crash was caused by moisture in the air-data pressure sensors - a known problem, with a known fix that was never written down
Lockheed Martin's X-33 was to be a sub-scale suborbital technology demonstrator for a singe-stage-to-orbit resuable spaceplane to be called Venturestar. NASA cancelled the X-33 in 2001 before the demonstrator was complete.
First tethered hover of the DP-1C subscale prototype of duPont Aerospace's DP-2 vectored-thrust vertical take-off aircraft - 30 September 2007, El Cajon, California
This is a video that ends with a bang. Produced in 2003, it shows flight tests of the CarterCopter high-speed autogyro, which has crashed 8 times in 5 years - and no-one has been hurt! Check out the website - www.cartercopters.co m - for the full story...
Californian design frim Garrow Aircraft has taken the wraps off its Verticopter concept for a short/vertical take-off and landing aircraft that has a tilting coaxial propeller on the centre of gravity. For more details visit www.verticopter.com. Garrow has so far flown a small radio-control model.
Bell Helicopter's XworX produced this video of a proposed military version of the X-Hawk "Fancraft" ducted-fan VTOL aircraft being developed by Israel company Urban Aeronautics.
Produced by Boeing Phantom Works as part of the US Air Force accident investigation, this animation reconstructs the in-flight structural failure of a US Air National Guard F-15C on November 2, 2007. The breakup was caused by fatigue cracking of a forward fuselage longeron. IMPORTANT - this is slowed down to one-fifth the actual speed of the event!
The McDonnell Douglas (later Boeing) Phantom Works built the Bird of Prey to demonstrate stealth technology. The single aircraft flew 40 times between 1996 and 1999 and is now in the USAF museum in Dayton, Ohio
Northrop Grumman promotional video for the RQ-4N Global Hawk, which has won the US Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance competition for an UAV to operate alongside it's Boieng P-8A Poseidon martime patrol aircraft
Stanford University video of a small robotic helicopter flying a complex airshow routine autonomously, using a technique called "apprenticeship learning" in which the flight-control software learns the ideal trajectory for an aerobatic maneuver by "watching" an expert radio-control pilot fly the routine several times.
This is a 2006 promotional video produced by Raytheon to highlight its various sensors and weapons on the latest Block 2 version of the US Navy's Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. After a brief intro it gets into the combat mission simulations.
Lockheed Martin video of the first flight of the F-35B short take-off and vertical landing variant of the Joint Strike Fighter from the company's Fort Worth, Texas plant on June 11, 2008. Pilot is Graham Tomlinson of BAE Systems
Edited video of model radio-control helicopter tests to demonstrate the key features of Baldwin Technologies Mono Tiltrotor concept - aerodynamically deployed wing, pitch axis suspended load and a coaxial, tilting rotor. Includes video of the March 2008 first flights of the larger MTR functional demonstrator.
Edited together from several video clips of Garrow Aircraft's Verticopter coaxial tilt-prop concept on www.verticopter.com. First is an unmanned air vehicle version, then a two-seater and finally a seven-seater. 3D modeling by X-Plane (www.x-plane.com)
Video of the Voyeur coaxial-rotor VTOL UAV being flight tested indoors under a US Navy contract. The UAV is electrically powered and the rotor blades fold so it can be stored in a tube until needed. Check the website: www.litemachines.com
Thales-produced animation of the UK Royal Navy's new CVF aircraft carriers, to be called HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales. They are to be built by BAE Systems and VT Group and launched in 2014 and 2016. They will carry the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and Merlin helicopter.
