Centre has reduced aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices by around Rs 5 per litre, providing relief to domestic airlines as global crude oil prices decline. The latest ATF price cut is expected to lower operating costs and support the aviation sector amid easing fuel prices.

Every B-52 landing deploys a 200-pound, 27-metre drag chute to slow 83 tons of bomber. Without it, brakes and tyres would fail. In rain or crosswinds, it's mandatory.

In Operation Power Flite, three B-52s circumnavigated the globe in 45 hours without landing — 24,325 miles nonstop. The mission proved America could nuke anywhere on Earth.

In 1957, three B-52 bombers flew around the entire world nonstop, in just 45 hours

The B-52's TF33 engines produce a black smoke trail that makes it visible from miles away. The new Rolls-Royce F130 engines will eliminate the signature entirely.

The B-52's upper crew ejects upward. The lower crew ejects downward through floor hatches. Below 250 feet, downward ejection was often fatal. Here's how it works.

Half B-52 crew ejects upward, the other half ejects downward through the floor! Here's why

The B-52's wingtips droop 12 feet on the ground and flex through a 32-foot arc in flight. This extreme flexibility is why the aircraft has survived 70 years.

B-52's wings flex so dramatically that tips can move upto 32 feet

The B-52 has unique swivelling landing gear that lets it land 'crabbed' sideways in crosswinds. No other aircraft in the world can do this. Here's how it works.

Why B-52 bomber lands completely sideways and looks terrifying doing it

In 1964, turbulence ripped the vertical stabilizer off a B-52H over New Mexico. Pilot Chuck Fisher flew it for five more hours and landed safely. The aircraft then served for 44 more years.

Under the one-time measure, the government will provide interest-free advances to state-owned oil marketing companies to help stabilise ATF prices for airlines operating both domestic and international flights.
