hesham, the main theme in this article is the ray gun. Don't know, why the artist had chosen
that aircraft to be shot down, but it's probably not very useful to point to similarities to actual
projects. A more humorous artist could have used a typical aircraft from a Donald-Duck comic,
or maybe even Tweety Bird. A typical engineer probably would have given a table with ray
temperatures in relation to distance, but that's not the style of such magazines.
So the just drew aircraft, carriers or what else just was in the artist's mind, without actual
connection to "real projects".
