   Originally posted by Third Temple No this happened just before WWII I believe. Howard Hughes help design the P48 mustangs or similar style.

   
   They also used propellers
   
   When was the last time you saw a prop job as a fighter

   Originally posted by A College Professor rivets are not outdated, theyre still heavily used in most aircraft. the majority of commercial and general-aviation aircraft are still built with riveted aluminum skins.
   
   

   
   They're outdated tech and only used by cheap manufacturers

   Originally posted by Third Temple but they use a compressor and more modern alloy and compositive metals for strenth and then power driven shut. the old school rivets were heated red hot then thrown into a bucket and picked up by set of tong like snippers and pushed in with a cap piece on the opposite side and then 2 guys would pick up a 80 pound rivet driver that basically was a jack hammer modified and one on each side pressing them together. but they rusted out too quickly so they changed them out over time. the point was that the head of the rivet were cut down flush to prevent wind drag which as hard as it is to believe, those little qurter inch height nubs were slowing the potential of the planes down by some 50-75mph. they went from 250 to like 325mph without engine modifications

   
   There are also ones made of ridiculous alloys that they keep cold so they're shrunken and if they don't get used quickly enough after being removed from the fridge they have to be thrown out.
   
   Which is why they're outdated...
