ABSTRACT: Weight Watchers
Wight Watchers is an article that talks about coming to a stop of the mainly costly, ambitious plane project in history. A great numbers of the workers of Lockheed Martin tasked with building the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter discovered their every day routines broken by a crisis. Engineers had been building the fighter plane for months when they cast cagey eyes on the weight projections, specifically one among the three JSF variants. A team of 550 engineers were put in place to carry out the liposuction in order to solve the issue of weight. The engineers were given time to brainstorm in order to come up with ideas that would help solve the problem of weight and for every idea given, they were paid. Within eight months, the Lockheed engineers reduced a total of 2,700 pounds from the F-35. As a result, they approach used was effective in solving the issue of the excess weight of the F-35.
COMMENT: Weight Watchers
I find this article unique since I have learnt about how the issue of the excess weight was solved in the building of the F-35. Further, I find it helpful since it helps me understand how the issue of excess weight affected the building of the plane. The article is very informative since it helps one learn about planes.

ABSTRACT: Mach 20 or Bust
The article, Mach 20 or Bust, talks about the hypersonic realm that has been explored for some years without success. Ronal Reagan is the first person who in 1996 fielded the National Aero-Space Plane, the mainly ambitious hypersonic flight program. The implementation of the program has never been successful and no one has come close to achieving the hypersonic speed. The currents boom started during the summer of 2002 having explorers at the University of Queensland within Australia initiating a small hypersonic test vehicle. One of the achievements of the hypersonic tests is the X-51A scramjet demonstrator which is collaboration between Air Force and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The Australian hypersonic program has been making stable advancement for a decade and it became the world’s initial scramjet engine in flight. According to the author, HVC is the vision vehicle within the field of hypersonic.
COMMENT: Mach 20 or Bust
In my opinion, this article I very interesting since it gave me the chance to understand the subject of hypersonic. Through this article, I have understood that even though the hypersonic issue was discovered long time ago, no real implementation of the concept has been attained. The article is quite informative to any person who loves knowledge and learning. The mode of narration of the article is quite unique and thrilling to the readers. This is an article that I would recommend to any individual who likes reading.

The articles discusses about how the Boeing 747 got its hump. The initial design for the cocktail enclosure was a hemispherical hump atop the fuselage. The current Boeing 747 has a big upstairs since Trippe believed it would be a freighter given that a round hump generated too much drag. In March 2001, Boeing revealed the idea for an airplane known as the Sonic Cruiser. Europe’s Airbus has thrived by progressively advancing and refining the Boeing-type commercial liner. In 1993, Beech developed and unveiled a full-size replicate at the National Business Aircraft Association convention within Dallas.
