After successful trials, the entire Voyager fleet will be re-engined and adapted for carrier onboard delivery work.

***BREAKING***

US Navy submarines will take stealth to a new level. American submarines will now be fitted with magnetohydrodynamic drive.

The U.S. Navy submarine USS Montana (SSN-794) will be the first fitted with the highly stealthy 'Caterpillar Drive'. U.S. Navy Photo.

Future rotorcraft hybrid propulsion system developed by the Finnish Army.

Utin jääkärirykm. @UtinJR

Kevään aikana 🇫🇮 #NH90-helikoptereihin integroidaan laite, joka mahdollistaa matkustajien kuntoharjoittelun lentokuljetusten aikana. Helikopterin järjestelmiin liitettynä laite tuottaa sähköä ja lisää matkalentonopeutta yli 400 kilometriin/tunti. Win-win!

During the spring 🇫🇮 #NH90 helicopters will be integrated with a device that allows passengers to exercise during air transport. When connected to the helicopter's systems, the device generates electricity and increases cruising speed to over 400 kilometers/hour

How in the world would you turn a complete C-130 upside down? I think photoshop and April fools day strikes again!

I'm just glad nobody made a reference to a RAAF version...oopps maybe I just did.

I hope they at least had the foresight to remove the crapper from the aircraft before flipping it upside down...

In 1940, the Mahan-class destroyer USS Tucker (DD-374) hoisted improvised sails to stretch the fuel supply and help relieve monotony while cruising in the Pacific. The Tucker managed 3.4 knots under sail.

In WW2 an RN Corvette was re-directed all over - UK, Ceylon, East Africa, Ceylon then Sth Africa. No wonder she ran out of fuel - had to make sails from her awnings & sail half way across the ocean to port.
