All of the models were created by the author, and have been kid-tested for durability and maximum swoosh value. Now, get ready to take command of the skies!
The Cutting Edge by Mark A. Lorell,Hugh P. Levaux Pdf
The proposition that innovation is critical in the cost-effective design and development of successful military aircraft is still subject to some debate. RAND research indicates that innovation is promoted by intense competition among three or more industry competitors. Given the critical policy importance of this issue in the current environment of drastic consolidation of the aerospace defense industry, the authors here examine the history of the major prime contractors in developing jet fighters since World War II. They make use of an extensive RAND database that includes nearly all jet fighters, fighter-attack aircraft, and bombers developed and flown by U.S. industry since 1945, as well as all related prototypes, modifications, upgrades, etc. The report concludes that (1) experience matters, because of the tendency to specialize and thus to develop system-specific expertise; (2) yet the most dramatic innovations and breakthroughs came from secondary or marginal players trying to compete with the industry leaders; and (3) dedicated military R&D conducted or directly funded by the U.S. government has been critical in the development of new higher-performance fighters and bombers.

The U-2 first flew in 1955, and the spy plane has changed little over the decades. Pilots must wear full space suits to withstand the pressures at 70,000 feet, and the extra long wingspan makes landing the aircraft a team effort. See why the U-2 has stuck around for all these years in this fact-filled title for reluctant readers.
