Does anyone know of any thrust vector designs BAe worked on after the P1226 I believe Marconi worked on the X32 whilst BAe aupported the X35 - is this correct? I'm trying to work out when BAe abandoned the pegasus thanks

Hi, the BAe SSBJ of 1986 was designed for the future as business jet supersonic aircraft project http://www.flightglobal.com/PDFArchive/View/1986/1986 - 2306.html

Hi, please see the Flightglobal; http://www.flightglobal.com/PDFArchive/View/1987/1987%20-%200980.html

A picture from an 80's military advertisement lead to these other two images. Interesting similiarities between the 25 year old ANS test vehicle and Taiwan's recent supersonic cruise missile. ;) (The ad is aerospatiale.)

I read in numerous sources that their were proposals for a Big Wing version of Jaguar, but have never seen any details or any images. Anyone help? Regards.

If anyone has original pictures of EAP from Paris or Farnborough airshows, or elsewhere, please get in touch.

Looking up about BAC's MUSTARD project has reminded me of Project Greenglow (its in the JBIS Space Chronicle edition looking at UK Spaceplanes). What are people's views on Greenglow?

Over the years the STOVL ability of the Harrier has led to various proposals for ships for it to operate from. First was the VT Harrier Carrier concept of the mid-1970s. 8,000 tons, c. 400ft length at WL, 420 ft flight deck with ski-jump. Electric propulsion powered by 9x5000 hp gas turbine...

The preferred UK AEW for the RAF was always the Nimrod as it was big and in production. In 1966 studies looked at various radar options, but lack of money delayed it. All of the above comes from 'Airborne Early Warning, design, development and operations' by Mike Hirst, Osprey, 1983.

Sea Dart is stored vertically on the Type 42's as it was on the Type 82 in rotating drums (presumably 11 Sea Dart per drum on the Type 42 if the figures on magazine capacity are correct). Does anyone know why when they had the missle in the 'correct' orientation it was decided to throw that...

According to Key Publishing (I just hate this forum, so don't ask me why I browse there!) there had been studies for an improved concorde. - No reheat - another stage compressor on the engines - 25% more range - leading edge slats - more fuel Of course, this went to nothing because of the...

Hi folks, Does anyone have detailed information upon the AVPRO Proteus Modular ulti-Role (MMR) standoff weapon? Any detailed information on other AVPRO proposals would be appreciated as well. Regards, Greg

Thanks to Evan, heres a nice PDF of a British Aerospace Harrier II Plus brochure showing it in RN colours.

[Moderator note - added in some older posts of earlier STOVL designs from Northrop, McDonnell-Douglas from the "US VTOL Projects" topic. I think these are interesting to consider in the light of the combined JAST design] I want to add the Northrop-Grumman ALF. Pictures from Air&Cosmos Nº1482...
