Hi, Alistair from the UK. Joined to be able access images and ideas as I've been 3D modelling and printing some UK never made planes. Image attached of a current work in progress the "Design with engines in nacelles" from the RAE paper, An Investigation into an Aircraft to Fly at a Mach Number of 2, Aero.2462 that led to the drawing up of the Bristol 188

Nice. Here's the same RAE design with various armament options from AVIA 06 19287 (Defence against Bombers by Mach 2 fighters). And welcome :)

Hi Sergei...welcome aboard !

I study fluid dynamics and mechanics at the moment and constructing a third vertical axis wind mill prototype.

After that I will try to build a solar powered AC.
 
Hi everybody,

I am a theoretical physicist working in defense. I am eager to learn about new technologies. I hope in a fruitful exchange in this site.
 
Hello dears,

My name is Sebastian, I live in Argentina and I'm 45 years old. I am very interested in the secret projects of the US and the USSR during the cold war, especially the planes that never were.

I hope to contribute with information on the many aeronautical projects of my country that failed to materialize
 
Greetings,
I am happy to now be a part of this group. I look forward to conversations and the sharing of ideas and gaining insights to lost projects, good or bad. I am a 20+ navy vet with a long history in weapons, tactics, and study. I am finishing up my masters in this field. You will likely be shocked to find that I am an avid building of military models and military researcher.
Again, I look forward to my experiences here.
V/R
 
Hello!

I've stumbled upon this group while looking into some post WW2 era planes. I look forward to learning about lesser known projects and its related discussions. While I don't have any past service history, I do take a lot of time studying and reading upon materials with great interest.

To put it short, I am simply an enthusiast from South Korea looking to learn more about past projects that never ended up being popular or known.

Welcome Mike! I’ve enjoyed your writing for a long time and am glad to have you aboard.

Wow. I'm glad somebody reads it. No secret projects in my writing, I'm afraid. Only obscure ones.
 
It can be. The F-4G Wild Weasels were dedicated radar killers, and all of the backseaters were EWOs. We went through a special school with no windows and a lot of study demands. Obviously, the subject matter included a lot about radars (hence my interest in Overscan's Guide). In addition to the academics, we had live low-level flight and electronic warfare simulators for the RC-135, EF-111A and B-52. Later on in the F-15E, I ended up learning a lot about the systems on the Eagle airframes, and I was able to introduce two new capabilities into the European jets.

I do. The Liberty Wing at RAF Lakenheath.

Thanks for the answer. If I may, does that mean in anything that airframe based in Europe are specifics? Or do they have specific systems, like for the theater? This is how I understood your remark.

And b/w welcome here. As you can see already, I am sure your experience will be much appreciated.
 
So I'm not sure I understand the question. The "European" Eagles are F-15C and F-15E based at the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath, also known as the Liberty Wing. They belong to the United States Air Force in Europe (USAFE), which is what we call the "air component" to European Command, or EUCOM. USAREUR (US Army Europe) is the land component to EUCOM, to complete the example.

We used to have F-15s based at Soesterberg in the Netherlands and Bitburg in Germany, but these bases were closed decades ago.

Because the England-based fighters belong to an overseas command, they are not actually managed by the same command (Air Combat Command) that has all of the US-based fighters.
 
Oops! Didn't see the New Members forum. I am 65 years old, have never piloted, but have flown as passenger on many aircraft. My father worked for Boeing as a draftsman, and started a model-aircraft club in Vancouver BC that grew and developed many competitions. When I was young, some way or another, there was aircraft talk, with balsa wood, glue, rice paper and structures in the building. Health problems precluded getting a license, so I started studying history. I was a bit of a "hangar rat" and FBO's got to recognize me at a few airfields. Oh, did I mention going to the Abbottsford Air Show seventeen years in a row? I probably have about 70 bound books, and a check right now shows 34, 467 aircraft files in 1, 855 computer folders. Just a bit.

I am most interested in non-military craft. Any timeframe if it's Canadian, and then early aircraft; from the very beginning up to 1940. Also airships; anything ya got. Gotta go. It's a start.

Happiness comes in on wings.
