Springfield Armory came out with their Hellcat micro-compact pistol in 2019. The Hellcat helped establish the entirely new genre of micro-compact concealed carry pistols.

In the past six years, the Hellcat has evolved…

In October 1962, the C.I.A. and the U.S.A.F. requested that Lockheed study a high-speed, high-altitude drone concept for reconnaissance flights over particularly hostile territories to avoid endangering aircrews. Created during the height of the Cold War and following the shootdown of a U-2 spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers, the Lockheed D-21, initially designated as the Q-12, utilized technology derived from the A-12 Oxcart and SR-71 Blackbird programs.
