En la imagen vemos al que parece ser el "554" con un acabado en gris naval, muy apropiado por cierto y diversas marcas de calibración a lo largo del fusel

Científicos trabajan para convertir agua de mar en combustible para aviones

El desarrollo está teniendo lugar desde el U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, un trabajo para extraer el dióxido de carbono y producir gas hidrógeno a partir del agua de mar. Según cuentan los investigadores, la clave es convertir el dióxido de carbono y el hidrógeno en los hidrocarburos que pueden ser utilizados para desarrollar el combustible JP-5 y tenerlo en existencias, informó el portal

El JP-5 es un combustible derivado del queroseno, una mezcla de distintos hidrocarburos, con alcanos, cicloalcanos e hidrocarburos aromáticos. Se trata del principal combustible para la aviación embarcada con motores de reacción, el que "alimenta" a la Armada de aviones de Estados Unido

Sound barrier pioneer celebrates 65 years


10/15/2012 - NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. (AFNS) -- Retired Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager, the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound, celebrated the 65th anniversary of his ground breaking event with a re-enactment here Oct. 14.

Yeager was serving as a test pilot and flying the experimental Bell X-1 named the, "Glamorous Glennis," Oct. 14, 1947, when he successfully broke the sound barrier.

"Up until that time we weren't able to do it," Yeager said. "Finally, in Oct. 14, 1947, we succeeded, and that opened up the doors of space to us."

Yeager's re-enactment flight began when he and the aircraft's pilot, Capt. David Vincent, 65th Aggressor Squadron pilot, flew an F-15D Eagle to 45,000 feet over Edwards AFB, Calif., and at 10:24 a.m. broke the sound barrier again.

"It was the greatest moment of my life so far," Vincent said. "It's like being with Christopher Columbus when he discovered the new world or like being with Orville and Wilbur Wright on the first flight."

Vincent said Yeager hadn't lost a step and pointed out landmarks over Edwards AFB.

"It was a smooth flight today," the general said. "I'm very familiar with the area and got a good view."

Yeager finished his day with a meet and greet with Nellis Airmen followed by a question and answer segment.

"I want to thank you all at Nellis," Yeager said. "The F-15 is my favorite airplane, and that's why I came here to fly it."

Yeager enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Forces Sept. 12, 1941. Later he was accepted to flight training in the flying sergeants program and, upon completion, was promoted to flight. Yeager demonstrated his flying skill during World War II when he became an, "ace in a day" after downing five enemy aircraft in one mission.

"What I am, I owe to the Air Force," Yeager said. "They took an 18-year-old kid from West Virginia and turned him into who I am today."
