1980s

This appears to be a fighter/Demonstrator version of their scissor wing technology from the '70s. You can see the bomber concepts in the thread link below the patent link USPAT4998689 Boeing Bombers with some pics of the Rockwell scissor wing bomber concept.

As requested by styx... The MAZ-7906 and MAZ-7907 were 16x16 and 24x24 wheeled chassis respectively, intended as TELs for the "Tselina-2" road-mobile variant of the SS-24 ICBM. The MAZ-7906 from 1984 had a diesel engine and the MAZ-7907 from 1985 a 1,200 hp gas turbine with electric...

The Vickers Valiant turret was redesigned to incorporate the L11 120mm tank gun. This design came to being in 1982. Weights did change, i have no information on the weight of this tank. In 1985, in an effort to sell tanks to Eygpt the german leopard-2 chasis was matched with the...

Royal Ordinace private venture to develop a modern chieftain 1981, significant improvements in armour - chobham, firepower 120mm L11AR gun and improved targeting, and Rolls Royce Condor 900E developing 900bhp.

1981 Bofors, Hagglund and Soner looked to develop a tank destroyer, it was not seen as a replacement for the Strv-103 or Sweden's Centurions. The concept had a 3-man crew in the front unit and 120mm Rheinmetall gun with Bofors muzzel brake. The rear unit contained ammunition, fuel and engine...

Sweden looked at a number of MBT concepts in the 1980's as a replacement for the stridsvagn-103. Key ones were UDES-11, UDES-17, UDES-19 and Stridsvagne 2000. A UDES-3 has been mentioned and appears to be a prof of concept vehcile based on the marder - with a bofors external mounted gun. not to...

Interesting front engined MBT proposal for the Swiss Army, the NKPz ended up to expensive and the auto loader was apparently problematic.

I was wondering if anyone has any more information on the version of the Tomcat II shown in the image below? It's obviously stealthier than the standard version and has inlets similar to the F-22, but I was wondering if anyone here has all three views or any renderings or pictures of models of...

The original FS-X design seems to owe a lot to the Hornet 2000 proposal, doesn't it? Particularly that fourth image- aside from the wedge intakes and shorter nose, I might have thought that was the Hornet 2000 proposal......

Thread to discuss Boeing pre-ATF and ATF studies If you have something to share, please post it here.

Lockheed 1982 Logistic Support Aircraft

Back in the day when they were coming up with the configuration for the next generation Hornet which ultimately lead to the Super Hornet there was a study done which had several different basic configurations in mind. Some of these drawings made it into AvWeek. One of the designs had the...

In the 90's exoatmosferic hypersonic airliners seemed near to enter production. 15 years before nobody talks about it. All that technology has been vanished after the NASP demonstrator program was cancelled?

The SERJ could work as a ramjet and a scramjet right? (It's been awhile since I read and responded to this post -- weird though, I normally have a photographic memory) Wow, that's such a simple strategy though. Start small test, if works go bigger, if works go bigger yet, if that works and...

Hi folks, I was looking for more information on the Phalanx Corporation Dragon Four-Poster VTOL concept of the 1980s (see pic below). I am also interested in some of the other concepts that Phalanx Corporation were working on including: Phalanx Dragon family of 4 poster blended...
