Ilustration by Allen B.Ury
In the 1950s, America's defense industry explored several radical ways to gain air superiority over the rival Soviet Union. Convair's XAB-1 concept bomber employed two notions that were particularly fashionable during this Cold War period. One was the idea of atomic engines, power plants that could keep a plane airborne virtually indefinitely. (Conventional jet engines were still required for take-offs and landings.) The other idea was that of parasite fighters, high-performance jets that were carried with the bomber and then released over enemy territory to provide airborne defense. Ultimately, the idea of atomic engines was scrapped when the notion proved too unwieldy and dangerous, while the parasite fighter notion was rendered obsolete by the perfection of mid-air refueling technology. - Fantastic Plastic

PhotobucketNa década de 1950, a indústria de defesa dos EUA explorou várias formas radicais para obter a superioridade aérea sobre a rival comunista, a União Soviética. O avião bombardeiro conceitual, Convair XAB-1, empregava duas noções que estavam particularmente "na moda" durante este período da Guerra Fria. Uma delas foi a idéia de motores atômicos, usinas de energia que poderiam, teoricamente, manter um avião no ar indefinidamente.Mas motores a jato convencionais ainda eram necessários para descolagens e aterragens. A outra idéia era a de caças parasitas de alto desempenho, que iam "de carona", com motores desligados e só agiriam quando em solo inimigo, para fornecer defesa aérea. Nesse caso, o XAB-1 seria uma espécie de nave-mãe. Em última análise, a idéia de motores atômicos foi abandonada quando o projeto mostrou-se muito pesado e perigoso, enquanto a idéia de caças parasitas tornou-se cara e obsoleta quando criou-se a tecnologia de reabastecimento em pleno ar. - Fantastic Plastic

The "Real" Thing
Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series follows the adventures of a late 20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century. The series was envisioned by Groening in the late 1990s while working on The Simpsons, later bringing Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox. - Wikipedia

The Real Thing
The Messerschmitt Bf 109, often called Me 109, was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid 1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, a retractable landing gear, and was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine. The Bf 109 first saw operational service during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II, during which time it was the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force. From the end of 1941 the Bf 109 was supplemented by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. Originally conceived as an interceptor, later models were developed to fulfill multiple tasks, serving as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, day-, night-, all-weather fighter, ground-attack aircraft, and as reconnaissance aircraft. It was supplied to and operated by several states during World War II, and served with several countries for many years after the war. The Bf 109 was the most produced fighter aircraft in history, with a total of 33,984 units produced from 1936 up to April 1945. The Bf 109 was flown by the three top-scoring German fighter aces of World War II, who claimed 928 victories among them while flying with Jagdgeschwader 52, mainly on the Eastern Front, as well as by Hans-Joachim Marseille, the highest scoring German ace in the North African Campaign. It was also flown by several other successful aces from Germany's allies, notably Finland, including the highest scoring non-German ace Ilmari Juutilainen, and pilots from Romania, Croatia and Hungary. Through constant development, the Bf 109 remained competitive with the latest Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war. - Wikipedia


PhotobucketO Messerschmitt Bf 109, também conhecido como Me 109, foi um Avião de Caça alemão monoposto dos anos 30 e 40 que teve uma produção de mais de 33.000 unidades, uma das aeronaves mais produzidas na história. Havia demanda por um moderno avião de caça para a Força Aérea (Luftwaffe) que se desenvolvia em segredo. Sua construção teve início em 1934 sob a direção de Willy Messerschmitt na então Fábrica Bávara de Aviões (Bayerischen Flugzeugwerken - daí a sigla Bf) em Augsburg-Haunstetten, Alemanha. O primeiro vôo aconteceu em maio de 1935, o Bf 109 foi posto a prova pela primeira vez na Guerra Civil Espanhola. De 1937 até a Segunda Guerra Mundial, todas as unidades de caça foram equipadas com esta aeronave e muitas as mantiveram recebendo permanentes melhorias até o fim da guerra. Seu criador Willy Messerschmitt durante a guerra se separou da empresa original e fundou a própria (com a sigla da empresa sendo Me), por isso existem aqueles que defendem que a partir das versões "F" em diante tenham que ser chamadas de Me 109, embora este apelido nunca tenha sido oficial. Também outras numerosas forças aéreas adquiriram aviões deste modelo, por exemplo, Finlândia, Croácia, Romênia, Hungria e Suíça e ironicamente, o principal caça da Alemanha Nazista também serviu depois da guerra, outras forças aéreas como a Força Áerea Israelense nas primeiras guerras contra os árabes. O Bf 109 serviu também, além de sua função principal de caça, como caça-bombardeiro, caça noturno e aeronave de reconhecimento. Foi um avião muito bem sucedido, alvo de críticas e também de admiração e respeito, pilotado por alguns dos maiores ases da Alemanha como Erich Hartmann com 352 vitórias, Hans-Joachim Marseille com 158 vitórias e Werner Mölders com 115 vitórias. - Wikipedia
