Boeing B-52 Stratofortress

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a tactical bomber long-range subsonic operated by U.S. Air Force (USAF) since 1955.

The contract for its development was signed on June 5, 1946. The Boeing B-52 went through several stages of design, from a six-engine turboprop aircraft until the final prototype YB-52, with eight turbojet engines. The aircraft made its first flight on April 15 1952 with Tex Johnston as pilot.

Built to carry nuclear weapons during the Cold War, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. Although a veteran of several wars, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress used only conventional munitions in actual combat. With the wider range of weapons of any contemporary bomber, the B-52 supports up to 32,000 kg in armaments.

The USAF maintains the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress in active service since 1955, initially with the Tactical Air Command (SAC), with all aircraft absorbed by Air Combat Command (ACC) in 1992. Its superior performance at high subsonic speeds and low operating costs helped the B-52 to remain in service despite proposals to replace it by the Bombers XB-70 Valkyrie, B-1B Lancer and stealthy B-2 Spirit. In January 2005, the B-52 became the second aircraft, after the British Canberra to celebrate 50 years of continual service. Only five aircrafts completed 50 years of continual service: the Boeing B-52, Canberra, the Tupolev Tu-95, C-130 Hercules and KC-135 Stratotanker.

Nike

Nike logo

The Nike brand has become a myth of fashion and modern industry, once produced shoes and today produces shoes, desires and sense of victory. In the 60s, the former athlete Phil Knight, in his project of MBA at Stanford University, had the idea of importing shoes produced in Japan with cheap labor in an attempt to gain market share dominated by German brand adidas.
The first models of running shoes were produced by "Tiger" and sold by the company "Blue Ribbon Sports" Bill Bowerman, Phil Knight coach, had the idea to modify the model by injecting a padded inside and a stronger rubber on the sole, which created a new project of sneakers that fell like the athletes.

In 1971, the graphic designer Carolyn Davidson designed the company logo for $ 35, the name "Nike" was suggested by former player Jeff Johnson, referring to the Greek goddess of victory.
