The Air Force’s B-52 Bomber is a legendary aircraft, having been around since the 1950s and is easily one of the most recognizable planes in the world.
Incredibly, a B-52 Bomber can carry 70,000 pounds of weapons, is 40 feet tall, 156 feet in length, and features a wingspan of 185 feet.
Not only can a B-52 hold 9 weapons on each wing and 27 inside its weapons bay, the bomber can also carry 8 nukes inside of its massive body.
Here’s a video showing just how many weapons a B-52 Bomber can hold:
Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source allowed researchers to observe the formation of new metal alloys during 3D printing, offering a closer look at the processes that shape next-generation materials. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory NIST researchers have developed a new laser-based method that could make 3D-printed metal alloys easier to produce, opening a possible route to s
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft has flown faster than the speed of sound for the first time, marking a major milestone for the agency’s Quesst mission. The aircraft reached supersonic speed on Friday, June 5, 2026, during an 81-minute test flight that began and ended at Edwards Air Force Base in California. NASA test pilot Jim “Clue” Less flew the X-59 to Mach 1.1, or about 713 m

The U.S. is using government finance, defense funding, and stockpiling to rebuild tungsten supply chains and reduce reliance on China, according to Fastmarkets. Tungsten is used in armor-piercing munitions, aerospace alloys, and advanced manufacturing, but U.S. domestic mining has faded over several decades. Washington’s strategy combines support from the Export-Import Bank of the United States
