Lockheed Martin has been commissioned to design and manufacture the Quiet Supersonic Transport (QSST), a 12-seat private jet that will be able to quietly break the sound barrier. Capable of flying at Mach 1.6–which for the rest of us means 1200mph–that unique ability to sneak through the sound barrier without breaking every window in sight would let it zip from New York to LA in two hours and 15 minutes.

Russian Air Force Museum at Monino.
The largest helicopter which has ever flown. The fuselage is 37 meters long and 12.5 meters high, the rotors are each 35 meters in diameter and it can lift up to 25 tonnes of cargo, though in a special record-breaking effort in 1969 it lifted 40 tonnes to a height of 2250 meters.

Think champagne, caviar & dancing till dawn. Think intimate performances by JOSEPHINE BAKER & DIETRICH. Visualize your fellow passengers JIMMY STEWART, CHEVALIER, TOSCANINI or GABLE & LOMBARD there at the next table.
And the great liner knifes through the midnight sea.
