Coxial Rotors



The Kamov Ka-50 Hokum is one of the first aircraft to have an unusual design in its rotor mechanics. It   has 2 sets of rotors spinning in opposite directions, giving it more lift than the apache. Now note it should not be related to the apache, as its payload is heavier and more hard hitting. Armour on this craft is alittle less than the armour on the apache but that doesnt stop its performance.

Why must this line be so long?!

Ah. Typical traffic at Atlanta's airport. That airport is possibly the busiest in the country. See all these plane's right here? The one's in the very back probably have to wait 2 HOURS to get off the ground!! I can tell already these people in the very front are happy to be next in line.
The underside of this Sukhoi Su-30 carries standard Air to Air missiles as well as what seem to be rocket pods and a couple of bombs. Either way this carrier-based aircraft's role is for air-to-ground purposes.

Incoming!!

Even though it's cool to watch a 747 landing just feet above your head, this is technically a health hazard, especially since the plane's thrust can push people into the water, with some hilarious effects.

I believe every other plane than the one at the bottom to exist. I mean, a plane like that won't even make it into the air.
