Is there any plane remotely as cool as a biplane, or really any old school WWI plane? No wonder Snoopy was obsessed with his Sopwith Camel, those planes just kicked ass. Waco Classic Aircraft hopes to revive those glory days of aviation with two new open-cockpit biplanes that have all the looks of the classic […]

Honda entered the American market on the strength of its lightweight motorcycles, an invasion that almost heralded doom for Harley Davidson (and did sound the eventual death knell for most British manufacturers like BSA, Norton and Triumph). Then in the 1960s they introduced their first small cars into the Land of the Muscle Car and […]

Remember that Terrafugia Flying Car we talked about last summer? They promised it was more than wistful ambitions and barely functioning proof of concepts, hoping to enter production as early as this year. Well apparently they’re one step closer, finally releasing the production version of their Transition Flying Car, which they’ve given a significant facelift. […]

So NASA granted MIT a $2.1 million research contract to develop environmental and performance concepts that lead aviation into the next […]

How do you show off the power of a 563 hp, 6.3-liter V8 supercar with 479 lb-ft of torque? Well if you’re Mercedes Benz and you want to show off your new 2011 SLS AMG you hire Michael Schumacher to drive it through a tunnel…upside down. Why not? The Gullwing SLS AMG sprints from 0 […]

The Red Baron came out in Europe in 2008 but never saw stateside release. Not surprising — no this wasn’t WWII and they weren’t Nazis of course, but something tells me Cletus in Alabama might have a hard time shelling out $10 to see a German hero shoot down Brits. Then again, I doubt Cletus […]
