China: Bird Battles Relentless Winds in Beijing

This is the bizarre moment that a bird fluttering its wings vigorously yet remaining motionless in the air against strong winds. On April 11, 2025, in Beijing, China, the video, taken by a local resident, vividly depicted the bird as it struggled to advance despite its frantic wing movements. The scene was recorded in the midst of an unusually windy day, underlining the strength of the gusts which prevented the bird from moving forward. The video concludes without showing whether the bird was able to eventually overcome the wind, leaving viewers in suspense about the outcome of this struggle against nature.

US Navy Shoots Down Its Own F/A-18 In Red Sea Fight

Handout photo dated November 1, 2023 shows F/A-18 Super Hornets from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 taxi the flight deck of the world’s largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN) 78 in the Mediterranean Sea. A U.S. Navy cruiser shot down a Navy F/A-18 fighter jet over the Red Sea early Sunday morning, U.S. Central Command said. The F/A-18 was shot by weapons from the guided-missile cruiser the USS Gettysburg after taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier on Dec. 22. Both Navy aviators were able to eject from the fighter jet and were recovered safely. One of the two sustained minor injuries, according to CENTCOM. The USS Gettysburg “mistakenly fired on” the F/A-18, CENTCOM said. The shoot down happened amid a weekend of military action against the Houthis, a militant Yemeni nationalist group that controls much of Yemen, including the capital. American and British aircraft have been bombing targets in Sana’a since Saturday. The incident is under investigation. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communicat

XB-1 Supersonic Prototype Makes Second Flight

Handout photo shows Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstrator aircraft completing his second test flight on August 26, 2024 in Mojave Air and Spaceport, California, USA. The flight, led by Chief Test Pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg, focused on critical evaluations of the aircraft’s systems. This included testing the retraction and extension of the landing gear, as well as assessing a digital stability augmentation system known as a roll damper to enhance in-flight stability. Additionally, tufting, a technique used to visualize airflow, was applied to the right wing to ensure aerodynamic performance. The XB-1 took to the skies for the first time on March 22, 2024, safely achieving an altitude of 7,120 feet (2,100 meters) and speeds up to 238 knots (273 mph). The XB-1 serves as a demonstrator for Boom’s upcoming Overture airliner. The supersonic passenger jet is poised to seat between 64 and 80 passengers and fly up to 4,250 nautical miles (7,867 kilometers) at a cruising speed of Mach 1.7. The production of the
