The F-22 is an air dominance fighter with much improved capability over current Air Force aircraft. From the inception of the battle, the F-22's primary objective will be to establish control of the skies through the conduct of counterair operations. The fighter also has an inherent precision ground attack capability. Threat that the F-15 will no longer be able to counter will be defeated by the lethal and survivable
F-22, with its balance of increased speed and range, enhanced offensive and defensive avionics, and reduced observability. The F-22's design also emphasizes reliability and maintainability of its systems.

The Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) concept is a highly common family of aircraft that meets multi-service needs while accommodating unique service requirements. The variants offer conventional takeoff and landing capability for the Air Force, carrier suitability for the Navy, and short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) cabability for the Marine Corps and Royal Navy.

It's the best combination of size, comfort, range, and price in aviation history. This extraordinary new aircraft is called the Citation Sovereign and there's nothing like it in the sky or even on the drawing board.

In a category known for comfort, the Sovereign will literally dwarf its competitors, providing passengers with all the advantages of the largest midsize cabin ever built. And at nearly 100 cubic feet, the external baggage compartment is huge – by far the largest in its class.

The Sovereign is big on performance, too. The new aircraft gives you coast-to-coast capability without having to throttle back to unacceptably slow speeds.With 5,686 pounds of thrust delivered by each of the Sovereign's Pratt & Whitney PW306C engines, you'll be able to fly coast-to-coast with ease. Cruise speeds of up to 444 knots (511 mph) will be routine.

No business jet this big has ever gone so far so fast for so little money. It's the ultimate midsize jet, one that is already setting a new standard for the future.

The 28-percent scale, remotely piloted X-36 has no vertical or horizontal tails, yet it is expected to be more maneuverable and agile than today's fighters. In addition, the tailless design reduces the weight, drag and radar cross section typically associated with traditional fighter aircraft.

In a series of upcoming flight tests, the low-cost X-36 research vehicle will demonstrate the feasibility of using new flight control technologies in place of vertical and horizontal tails to improve the maneuverability and survivability of future fighter aircraft.

Fully fueled, the X-36 prototype weighs 1,300 pounds. It is 19 feet long and measures 11 feet at its widest point. It is 3 feet high and is powered by a Williams Research F112 engine that provides about 700 pounds of thrust.

Using a video camera in the nose of the vehicle, a pilot controls the flight of the X-36 from a virtual cockpit--complete with head-up display (HUD)--in a ground-based station. This pilot-in-the-loop approach eliminates the need for expensive and complex autonomous flight control systems.

Two identical subscale research vehicles have been produced by the team for use in the flight test program. Including design and production of the two aircraft and flight testing, the total cost of the X-36 program is only $17 million.
