This plane was the first to fly around the world without stopping or refueling, doing so in 1986.
This airliner was to be the plane of the future by putting more people on board and thus reduce the number of planes in their overall fleets. Today they are mostly used by heavily subsidized airlines by Emirates and Etihad because of their huge expense.
This aircraft has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft since 1976 as well as the record for fastest transcontinental flight, crossing the US in just a little over an hour.
This plane was the first successful operational jet powered fighter, making its debut at the end of WWII. It had very little effect on its nation's war aims since most of its air defenses had been destroyed by that point.
Bell Boeing V22, one of the first planes to have vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, is also known by this avian name.
This aircraft, meant to be the Russian competitor to the Concorde, was the first Supersonic Transport plane to fly, doing so two months before Concorde. It too was grounded after a crash killed several passengers.
