An unducted fan UHB-270.  Looks alot like a DC-10, right?  This early concept was proposed by McDonnell Douglas in the early 1980s.  The goal was to achieve significantly improved efficiency over the CF-6 engines of the day.  The challenge with the UHB engines was they were very loud and had some vibration issues.  Although development of the engine type was eventually cancelled, the concept eventually paved the way for ultra-efficient engines like the GE-90, albeit with a cowling surrounding the fans.  Check out the full story of this proposed jet and other proposed UHB aircraft on our site. --> www.Avgeekery.com 119 0
Ringing in the new year with a classic Boeing 737-200.  Not many of these left these days in the US.  Hawaii has the largest concentration of jurassic baby Boeings but Canada takes the cake.  Here's hoping that 2021 is way better than 2020 for the aviation industry.  Who is with me? 62 0
So much technical prowess and speed in just one photo. me? 358 11
Fast and slow and awesome all in one photo.  The Concorde was the only Western-built supersonic airliner.  It could travel faster than Mach 2, allowing for a businessman/woman to travel from London to NYC and back in the same day. Then you have Bob Hoover and his unmatchable flying that he did.  We miss him for sure. #avgeek #avgeekery #concorde #washingtondc #bobhoover #udvarhazyairandspacemuseum #udvarhazy 157 3

Talk about a fini flight! Our friend @vice.aviator caught this Learjet sneaking one last joy ride before meeting its maker.  What an incredible video!
