In Focus BANK SHOT A Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet performs a steep banking maneuver during a flight demonstration at last month’s Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom. The special effect is caused by water vapor that condenses around the aircraft during high-speed maneuvering in certain atmospheric conditions, such as when the air is humid, and the low pressure of airflow around the jet. Other Boeing aircraft making demonstration flights or on static display at the Farnborough show included the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey, F-15E Eagle, C-17 Globemaster III, AH-64D Apache, and the 737-900 and new 787 Dreamliner jetliners.
