G.I.JOE CLASICO, SUS MEJORES MAQUINAS DE GUERRA

Lo único que me gustaba de G.I.Joe eran sus máquinas de guerra, versiones "extendidas" de aviones como el F-14, el A-10 o el Blackbird. la serie me parecioda aburrida y lesa, sin una trama clara ni personajes tan carismáticos como los de Transformers, Robotech o Thundercats. El comandante Cobra era choro, pero nada más. Por eso la pelí me entusiasma poco y nada, pero igual éste es mi tributo generacional al G.I.Joe con el que todos crecimos, algo así como mis aviones Joe favoritos.

RECONSTRUYEN EL "STEALTH" DE HITLER

En un especial de NatGeo, acá lo debiéramos ver en septiembre. Info aquí.

Top stealth-plane experts have re-created a radical, nearly forgotten Nazi aircraft: the Horten 2-29, a retro-futuristic fighter that arrived too late in World War II to make it into mass production.

The engineers' goal was to determine whether the so-called stealth fighter was truly radar resistant. In the process, they've uncovered new clues to just how close Nazi engineers were to unleashing a jet that some say could have changed the course of the war. To replicate the Ho 2-29 late last year for a documentary premiering Sunday, a team from the Northrop Grumman defense-contracting corporation used original Nazi blueprints (see re-created blueprints of Hitler's stealth fighter) and the only surviving Ho 2-29, which has been stored in a U.S. government facility for more than 50 years. The all-wing Ho 2-29 looked more like today's U.S. B-2 bomber (B-2 bomber picture)—or something from a Star Wars prequel—than like any other World War II aircraft. Made primarily of wood and powered by jet engines, the plane was designed for speeds of up to 600 miles an hour (970 kilometers an hour). Armed with four 30mm cannons and two 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) bombs, the planned production model was also meant to pack a punch. A Ho 2-29 prototype made a successful test flight just before Christmas 1944. But by then time was running out for the Nazis, and they were never able to perfect the design or produce more than a handful of prototype planes. Determining the Horten's stealth capabilities could help reveal what might have happened if the Ho 2-29 had been unleashed in force.
