In this episode, we’re soaring into the thrilling world of military aircraft and fighter jets!
Imagine jets racing through the sky, reaching mind-blowing speeds and performing breathtaking manoeuvres. These aircraft are marvels of modern engineering, designed for agility, speed, and precision. But what makes them so incredible? It’s the dedicated engineers who bring these machines to life.
Hosts Lloydie and Becky take us on an exhilarating journey through the history and innovation of British military jets. They start by highlighting iconic aircraft like the Gloster Meteor, the Harrier Jump Jet, and the Blackburn Buccaneer, each showcasing remarkable advancements in aerospace engineering.
We learn about the English Electric Lightning, a jet that could reach over Mach 2 – that’s more than 1,500 miles per hour! Becky and Lloydie also discuss modern marvels like the F35 Lightning and the Eurofighter Typhoon, which utilise cutting-edge technology to perform multiple roles from air combat to reconnaissance.
But it’s not just about the jets themselves; it’s about the people behind them. The episode features an inspiring interview with Krystina Pearson-Rampeearee from BAE Systems. She shares her journey into aerospace engineering and provides a glimpse into future innovations in the field.
Whether you’re an aspiring engineer or just fascinated by aviation, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Lloydie and Becky remind us that engineering offers endless opportunities, no matter your background or interests.
