Top stealth-plane experts have re-created a radical, nearly forgotten Nazi aircraft: the Horten 2-29. This retro-futuristic fighter plane is recreated as part of a documentary last year to uncover the secrets of the technological advancement of the Nazi forces. A term from the Northrop Grumman defense-contracting corporation used original Nazi blueprints and the only surviving Ho 2-29, which has been stored in a U.S. government facility for more than 50 years.
Wilson Audio is all set to impress the audiophiles with its new Maxx Series 3 speaker system, which is an update to the very famous Maxx Series 2. The MAXX Series 3, also called the MAXX Cubed, is as simple to set up and place in a room as its predecessor. What I like the most about the MAXX series speaker systems is their unique design that looks more like a robot’s leg instead of a music system. The main objective behind the creation of Series 3 was to improve MAXX’s time-domain performance.

The Yakkay Bicycle Helmet from Denmark, comes in two parts. The hard bit which protects your noggin from damage and a cute cover part which lets you style the thing to resemble a normal hat.

The optional ear warmers are a nice touch too, and we like the fact you can change covers on a whim or to match your outfit. Priced at £90/€105/$145.00 complete.
