Kind of like NYC’s Taxi of the Future design contest, NASA asked aviation titans Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Boeing to create concepts for aircrafts that fly cleaner, higher, and close to the speed of sound. And so they did. Basically, by the year 2025, we’ll be flying on stealth bombers. More fun pictures here.
Lockheed Martin charges that the MTA should pay up to $137 million in damages for canceling their contract to install a “post-9/11 surveillance system,” in their latest court filing. Of course the MTA, which Lockheed accuses of barring them from working in necessary areas, is firing back, demanding $90 million for unfinished work on the mostly broken subway surveillance camera network. |NYP|
The MTA announced the firing of Lockheed Martin for botching the anti-terror surveillance system they were contracted to install for $250 million. Only 1,400 of 1,700 surveillance cameras are in position and few even work. However, in April, Lockheed sued the MTA for not allowing them to work in critical areas and not providing the network access needed to make the system work. |NYP|
