Jennifer Reyes+FollowThe Bomber That Never FlewEver heard of a plane built to carry a bomb the size of a small house? The Ju 290E was supposed to be Germany’s mega night bomber in WWII, able to haul a 20-ton payload. But it never left the drawing board—think of it as the ultimate "what if" gadget that never made it to the store shelf. The big shift? Sometimes, even the wildest tech ideas get grounded by reality, not rivals. #HistoryNerd #AviationGeek #WWIIFacts #TechFails #Business793Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowHow the C-17 Drops Like a Rock (On Purpose)Ever seen a cargo plane drop like a stone and land on a dime? The C-17 Globemaster III can do just that, thanks to a wild trick: it throws its engines into reverse mid-air for a super-fast, controlled descent. This lets it swoop into tough spots and deliver supplies or people faster and safer—think Amazon Prime, but for the military. That agility means missions can happen quicker, with less risk and less waiting around. #Business #Industry #AviationGeek120Share
