Den Northrop JB-1 "Bat" var et amerikansk jord-til-jord krydsermissil, der var en prototype jetdrevet flyvende vinge. United States Army Air Forces MX-543-program blev indledt i september 1942 for at bruge licensbyggede versioner af Frank Whittles jetmotor (General Electric J31). Northrop Corporation blev kontraheret i slutningen af 1943, og kun 10 JB-1 flystel blev bygget. En bemandet version blev bugseret til den 1. flyvning den 27. august 1943 fra Rogers Dry Lake og en svæveflyversion blev opsendt fra en raketdrevet slæde og styrtede ned i december 1944. En ubemandet JB-1 drevet af en improviseret General Electric B-1 turbojet med et vingefang på 8,64 m foretog sin 1. flyvning fra Eglin Field's Santa Rosa Island, Florida, den 7. december 1944 og styrtede ned 400 meter fra jernbaneaffyringsrampen.

Den Radiofly BTT, kendt som RP-71 af virksomheden, som WS-426/2 af United States Navy, og som WS-462/2 af US Air Force, er en familie af måldroner produceret af Radioplane Company (senere en division af Northrop).
MQM-57 Falconer: A variant of the BTT designated the RP-71, also known as the SD-1 Observer and later redesignated MQM-57 Falconer, was built for battlefield reconnaissance, with first flight in 1955. The Falconer was similar in appearance to the Shelduck, but had a slightly longer and stockier fuselage. It had an autopilot system with radio-control backup, and could carry cameras, as well as illumination flares for night reconnaissance. Equipment was loaded through a hump in the back between the wings. Although it only had an endurance of a little more than a half-hour, making it of limited use, about 1,500 Falconers were built and the type was used internationally with several different military forces, remaining in service into the 1970s. Over 73,000 BTT targets were built in all, and the type was used by at least 18 nations. Some may still be lingering in service.

Intelligent hval, en eksperimentel håndsvinget ubåd, blev bygget efter design af Scovel Sturgis Merriam i 1863 af Augustus Price og Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. I 1864 blev American Submarine Company dannet, som overtog Bushnell og Prices interesser, og der fulgte flere års retssager om ejerskabet af fartøjet. Da ejendomsretten blev fastslået af en domstol, blev ubåden solgt den 29. oktober 1869 gennem en kontrakt indgået af ejeren Oliver Halstead og marineminister George M. Robeson til United States Navy Department, hvor det meste af prisen skulle betales efter vellykkede forsøg. I september 1872 blev den første retssag afholdt, og den var forgæves, hvorefter ministeriet afviste yderligere betalinger og opgav projektet.

Den Aichi D3A Type 99 Carrier Bomber (Allied reporting name “Val”) is a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber. It was the primary dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and was involved in almost all IJN actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in the war, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Force Base. Vals sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraf.

Den Convair F2Y Hav dart was an American seaplane fighter aircraft that rode on twin hydro-skis during takeoff and landing. It flew only as a prototype, and never entered mass production. It is the only seaplane to have exceeded the speed of sound. It was created in the 1950s, to overcome the problems with supersonic planes taking off and landing on aircraft carriers. The program was canceled after a series of unsatisfactory results and a tragic accident on 4 November 1954, when test pilot Charles E. Richbourg was killed when the Sea Dart he was piloting disintegrated in midair. The four surviving planes were retired in 1957, but some were kept in reserve until 1962.

Den Fokker D.XXI fighter was designed in 1935 by Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker in response to requirements laid out by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force (Militaire Luchtvaart van het Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger, ML-KNIL). The D.XXI was designed as an inexpensive, rugged, and compact fighter aircraft that would possess respectable performance for its era. Entering operational use in the early years of the Second World War, it provided yeoman service for both the Luchtvaartafdeling (Dutch Army Aviation Group) and the Finnish Air Force. Additionally, a few examples were constructed by the El Carmolí factory before it fell into rebel hands during the Spanish Civil War. Following the invasion and occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940, several captured Dutch D.XXIs were subsequently placed into service with the Luftwaffe.

USS Albacore (AGSS-569) was a unique research submarine that pioneered the American version of the teardrop hull form (sometimes referred to as an “Albacore hull”) of modern submarines. The revolutionary design was derived from extensive hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing, with an emphasis on underwater speed and maneuverability. She was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the albacore. Her keel was laid down on 15 March 1952 by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard of Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 1 August 1953, sponsored by Mrs. J. E. Jowers, the widow of Chief Motor Machinist’s Mate Arthur L. Stanton, lost with the second Albacore (SS-218), and commissioned on 6 December 1953 with Lieutenant Commander Kenneth C. Gummerson in command
