The 2023 American Legend AL18 MOAC earns an AircraftForSale top pick for its purpose-engineered suspension and high-power configuration built for serious off-airport operations.
TowerNASA's X-57 Maxwell validated the aerodynamics of a radically smaller wing powered by 12 leading-edge electric motors, shaping how engineers now design the next generation of electric aircraft.
VectorThe North American XB-70 Valkyrie flew at Mach 3 and rode its own shockwave over the Mojave, but strategic politics and a fatal midair collision ensured only one would survive to reach a museum.
TaildraggerThe homebuilder campground at EAA AirVenture is where pilots who built their own aircraft camp next to their planes all week - and it's unlike anything else in aviation.
RampPete Knight flew the X-15 to Mach 6.7 on October 3, 1967 - a speed no winged aircraft has matched in nearly 59 years, and a record built on engineering that still shapes aerospace today.

VectorZenith debuted the four-seat CH 750 Super Cruzer kit at Oshkosh, expanding its lineup beyond two-seaters into the family-airplane market.
TowerHow SpaceShipOne, a homebuilt-derived experimental aircraft from Mojave, flew to space and won the Ansari X Prize in 2004.
VectorAn angle of attack (AOA) indicator measures how close your wing is to stalling directly, and the experimental fleet made it affordable for certified aircraft.
VectorDynon expanded its SkyView HDX IFR package at Oshkosh with a remote audio panel, dual com support, and a standalone engine monitor.
TowerNASA's X-57 Maxwell validated the core aerodynamics of distributed electric propulsion while revealing the systems integration challenges that will define the next decade of electric aircraft development.
VectorThe North American XB-70 Valkyrie was America's most technically advanced Cold War bomber - capable of Mach 3 at 70,000 feet but cancelled before entering service.
