Italdesign Lamborghini Huracan

Italdesign Automobili Speciali, a limited edition production brand from Italdesign will be building five of the mid-engined supercar you see below.  The supercar is based on the Lamborghini Huracan and will be built almost entirely of carbon fiber.

The supercar will be powered by a 5.2-liter V10 with a top speed in excess of 205 mph and should be lighter than a run-of-the-mill Huracán.   Lamborghini and Italdesign often work closely with each other and with Lamborghini having control over Italdesign this new model will probably be the most exclusive Lamborghini Huracán.

Boeing T-X trainer

Boeing has unveiled the new T-X trainer jet design, an all-new advanced pilot training system designed specifically for the U.S. Air Force training missions.

The T-X trainer has twin canted vertical tails similar to the F-22, F-35 and F/A-18.  To keep costs down the aircraft features a single engine with stadium seating.  The trainer has an advanced cockpit with embedded training.  The system also includes state-of-the-art ground-based training and a maintenance-friendly design for long-term supportability.

The Air Force needs a replacement for its T-38 Talon trainer aircraft which were first produced by Northrop in 1959.

Boeing has already built two and is ready to build more for the Air Force training program. The Air Force hopes to buy 350 new trainer jets with initial operating capability planned for 2024.
