Something exciting in the world of RC flying happened last September when Razordon, in partnership with FLISHRC, launched the FLISHRC FL500 Black Hawk UH-60 500-Class 2.4GHz 6CH Scale RC Helicopter.

It is well known that US defense contractors have long turnaround times. However, that’s not the case with the Sikorsky S-70UAS U-Hawk Fully Autonomous Helicopter, which Lockheed Martin says took only 10 months to go from concept to reality. How did the helicopter maker manage to pull this off? Well, […]
There are reasons why aircraft that do vertical takeoff and landing, and transition to fly like a regular airplane, are few and far between. Hint: it is technically challenging and ridiculously expensive. It is even rarer in fighter jet form. But the crazy thing is, you don’t need billions of […]
Aviation enthusiasts, how do you like a piece of the world’s fastest and highest-flying production aircraft, the SR-71 Blackbird, on your wrist? Well, if you do, you are in luck because REC Watches has made a timepiece out of an SR-71. Meet the REC Watches SR-71 Habu, an exclusive, limited […]
American aircraft manufacturer, Sikorsky, best known for its helicopters, is working on a unique unmanned VTOL aircraft for DARPA.

It has always been mankind’s dream to shave travel time. Humankind achieved that at some point but the sonic boom created by the Concorde proved too much when it flew over land. That, and safety-related issues – among others – ended supersonic travel.
PowerUp Toys, the company that realized controlled flight for a paper airplane, is back with another non-paper airplane RC toy. This time, it is an aircraft that will get military aircraft enthusiasts and aeronautics fans all excited: the Lockheed Martin F22 Raptor.
The world’s largest navy, the U.S. Navy, has just took delivery of its 10th Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), the Littoral Combat Ship 19 USS St. Louis. If you haven’t already heard, LCS is a flexible warship designed with adaptability in mind that would allow it to be outfitted to […]
This is not the Sikorsky SB>1 DEFIANT nor is it the Sikorsky S-97 Raider. It is the Sikorsky RAIDER X Coaxial Helicopter and yet another showcase of Sikorsky’s coaxial technology.
Have you ever wonder what space smells like? Well, apparently, it smells like “opening a fresh bag of black mulch and spreading it around trees.” At least, that was what ars Technica space editor, Eric Berger, associated the smell with and he ain’t no astronaut. He learned that with Lockheed […]
Here’s a long overdue first look at Lockheed Martin-owned Sikorsky and Boeing new SB>1 DEFIANT helicopter developed for the U.S. Army’s Joint Multi-Role technology demonstrator program. The helicopter with a URL-unfriendly name is capable of flying at twice the speed and range of today’s conventional helicopters, while offering advanced agility […]
