Radioplane BTT
País	Eua
Papel	Drone alvo
Primeira mosca	Desconhecido
Construído	7300+

O Avião de rádio BTT, conhecido como RP-71 pela empresa, como WS-426/2 pela Marinha dos Estados Unidos, e como WS-462/2 pela Força Aérea dos EUA, é uma família de drones-alvo produzidos pela Radioplane Company (mais tarde uma divisão da 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 Whale
País	Eua
Papel	submarino
Previsto	1863
Construído	1

Baleia Inteligente, um submarino experimental de manivela, foi construído com base no projeto do Scovel Sturgis Merriam em 1863 por Augustus Price e Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. Em 1864, a American Submarine Company foi formada, assumindo os interesses de Bushnell e Price e seguiram-se anos de litígio sobre a propriedade da embarcação. Quando o título foi estabelecido por um tribunal, o submarino foi vendido em 29 de outubro de 1869 por meio de um contrato feito pelo proprietário Oliver Halstead e pelo secretário da Marinha George M. Robeson ao Departamento da Marinha dos Estados Unidos, com a maior parte do preço a ser pago após testes bem-sucedidos. Em setembro de 1872, o primeiro julgamento foi realizado e não teve sucesso, após o que o Departamento recusou novos pagamentos e abandonou o projeto.

Convair F2Y Sea Dart
País	Eua
Papel	Caça hidroavião
Primeiro voo	14 de janeiro de 1953
Construído	5

O Dardo marítimo Convair F2Y 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.

Fokker D. XXI
País	Holandês
Papel	Lutador
Primeiro voo	27 de março de 1936
Construído	146

O 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.

Papel	Submarino de pesquisa
Lançado	1 de agosto de 1953
Descomissionado	9 de dezembro de 1972

USS Albacora (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

FFVS J 22
País	Suécia
classe	Lutador
Primeiro voo	setembro de 1942
Construído	198

O FFVS J 22 is a Swedish single-engine fighter aircraft developed for the Swedish Air Force during World War II. At the onset of World War II, the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) was equipped with largely obsolete Gloster Gladiator (J 8) biplane fighters. To augment this, Sweden ordered 120 Seversky P-35 (J 9) and 144 P-66 Vanguard (J 10) aircraft from the United States. However, on 18 June 1940 after the German occupation of Norway, the United States declared an embargo against exporting weapons to any nation other than Great Britain.

de Havilland DH.60 Moth
País	Reino unido
classe	Treinador
Primeiro voo	22 de fevereiro de 1925
Construído	Desconhecido

O de Havilland DH.60 Mariposa is a 1920s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into a series of aircraft by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. The DH.60 was developed from the larger DH.51 biplane. The first flight of the Cirrus powered prototype DH.60 Moth (registration G-EBKT) was carried out by Geoffrey de Havilland at the works airfield at Stag Lane on 22 February 1925. The Moth was a two-seat biplane of wooden construction, it had a plywood covered fuselage and fabric covered surfaces, a standard tailplane with a single tailplane and fin. A useful feature of the design was its folding wings which allowed owners to hangar the aircraft in much smaller spaces. The then Secretary of State for Air Sir Samuel Hoare became interested in the aircraft and the Air Ministry subsidised five flying clubs and equipped them with Moths.
