2007 Fokker S.14 Machtrainer on Hollandi kahekohaline sõjalise väljaõppe reaktiivlennuk, mille Fokker on projekteerinud ja tootnud Hollandi kuninglike õhujõudude jaoks. Areng algas 1940. aastate lõpus. See oli üks esimesi reaktiivhävituslennukeid maailmas, mis tegi oma esimese lennu 19. mail 1951 ja alustas teenistust 1955. aastal.

2007 Northrop JB-1 "Nahkhiir" oli Ameerika Ühendriikide pind-maa tiibraketti, mis oli reaktiivmootoriga lendava tiiva prototüüp. Ameerika Ühendriikide armee õhujõudude MX-543 programm algatati 1942. aasta septembris, et kasutada Frank Whittle'i reaktiivmootori (General Electric J31) litsentsiga ehitatud versioone. Northrop Corporationiga sõlmiti leping 1943. aasta lõpus ja ehitati ainult 10 JB-1 lennukit. Mehitatud versioon pukseeriti 1. lennuks "27. augustil 1943" Rogers Dry Lake'ist ja purilennukiversioon lasti välja rakettmootoriga kelgust ja kukkus alla 1944. aasta detsembris. Mehitamata JB-1, mille jõuallikaks oli improviseeritud General Electric B-1 turboreaktiivlennuk, mille tiibade siruulatus oli 28 jalga 4 tolli (8,64 m), tegi 7. detsembril 1944 Floridas Eglin Fieldi Santa Rosa saarelt esimese lennu ja kukkus alla 400 meetri kaugusel raudtee kanderaketist.

2007 Raadiolennuk BTT, mida ettevõte tunneb kui RP-71, Ameerika Ühendriikide merevägi kui WS-426/2 ja USA õhujõud kui WS-462/2, on sihtdroonide perekond, mida toodab Radioplane Company (hiljem Northropi allüksus).

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.

Intelligentne vaal, eksperimentaalne käsitsi vändatav allveelaev, ehitati Scovel Sturgis Merriami kavandile 1863. aastal Augustus Price'i ja Cornelius Scranton Bushnelli poolt. 1864. aastal moodustati American Submarine Company, mis võttis üle Bushnelli ja Price'i huvid ning järgnesid aastatepikkused kohtuvaidlused veesõiduki omandiõiguse üle. Kui kohus määras omandiõiguse, müüdi allveelaev 29. oktoobril 1869 omaniku Oliver Halsteadi ja mereväe sekretäri George M. Robesoni sõlmitud lepinguga Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväeosakonnale, kusjuures suurem osa hinnast tuli maksta pärast edukaid kohtuprotsesse. 1872. aasta septembris toimus esimene kohtuprotsess, mis ebaõnnestus, misjärel osakond keeldus edasistest maksetest ja loobus projektist.

2007 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.

2007 Convair F2Y merenool 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.

2007 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

Selle võtsid vastu Ameerika Ühendriikide armee õhukorpus kui UC-61 ja ka kuninglikud õhujõud. Mudel 24 oli ise eelmiste Fairchildi mudelite edasiarendus ja sellest sai edukas tsiviil- ja sõjaline tarbelennuk.
