airliner

Hi, The Japanese companies had many SST projects,some of it in; http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1998/1998%20-%203450.pdf I have many other Japanese SST projects,but I will try to send it.

Hi, The Japanese company NAMC YS-12 was developed from YS-11 but powered by two Rolls Royce dart RDa 10s ,YS-31 was with two RDa 7s and the YS-12-4 was with four RDa 10 engines. http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1959/1959 - 3097.html?search=ys-12

Hi, there was the SAAB-1071 a four engined high wing STOL transport and could carried 40-passengers. http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1968/1968%20-%200762.pdf

Mentioned, but not shown Bell V-22 derivates. Smaller is Model 626* and bigger is CQTR (Civil Quad Tilt-Rotor). [*Mistake fixed on 262 > 626]

Ok, in 1940 the war as just started or was about to start (for Italy and Japan) and things were going fairly well. In Germany and Italy airlines and governments started to plan for the expected post-war increase in air traffic, expecially on the Atlantic routes (sound familiar?). Diffrently...

In view of the material already presented in the forum this topic will surely motivate enough crossposting but I believe that the topic deserves to take their own place. -A 90's proposal of GE for a Super-AWACS. A wind tunnel model existed but I have not gotten pictures of the same one...

here is anther projects I don't know them, SNCASO E-1910;SO-1340 and SO-1350.

I'm interested in Sonic Cruiser iterations 3-views, if any were published (AFAIK, design was very touchy security question for a long). I have all images from Cruiser-related 3 or so Boeing's patents, but want something more accurate. Thanks.

Has anyone seen this site: http://www.obliqueflyingwing.com? Does anyone know anything about this or about previous oblique flying wings -- built or not?

American studies into a supersonic transport go back to the 1950s when various versions were proposed by Convair based on the B-58 Hustler. Things remained paper studies until John F. Kennedy moved plans ahead in July of 1961 with the formation of a presidential committee made up of members of...

Hi folks, Here are some Boeing Flying Wing concepts from the mid 1930s. They are all variations of the same theme and come under the Model 306 designation: First the Heavy Bomber: Regards, Greg

Trying to come up with all there is- we're all familiar with these derivatives: Lockheed Orion (Electra) Illyushin Il-38 (Il-18) BAe Nimrod (Comet) Boeing P-8A (737NG) What I'm looking for is a listing with pics if possible of unbuilt ASW/maritime patrol versions of commercial airliners- what...

Some very interesting VSTOL projects were designed in Germany. MBB BO-140 A tiltwing transport, with civil (Z) and military (M) versions. 4 x GE1-S1-1T turboshaft engines each developing 11,400shp and driving 8.24m diameter blades. BO-140Z could carry 80 passengers at 84cm seat pitch...

Boeing Pelican wingship

A thread for the Tupolev Tu-2000 aerospaceplane and also other VKS contenders. The Tu-2000A (first two pictures) was to be a 70-90 tonnes demonstrator of the actual SSTO spacecraft. The third pic shows a model that was displayed at the 1992 Mosaeroshow. I'm still not certain whether it's meant...

Why to spend money in a development from zero if military designs can adapt? Proposals for a SST based on the North American XB-70 Valkyrie (I cannot avoid to imagine to the boys of Green Peace in a MIG-31 with the colors of the rainbow trying him to give hunt to one of these apparatuses) ;D
