Convair MX-2223 (provisional)

This aircraft family is lesser-known to many. While it was on service a long time ago, it would have a lot of potential, but the turboprop version was for the Canadian military, not for civilian air travel because of the emergence of aircraft like the Fokker F-27, the YS-11, the Hawker Siddeley...

I just restored this bad boy from my storage (was made months ago but in the 2014 style) Fun fact: this is only the second 58-9 on Roblox. The first one was a CSG model made by someone else just before this one.

We have a whole bunch of threads, alt-history or not. But no full blown TL so far. The POD: May 1972, common sense prevails: Convair Model 200 carries the day over Rockwell NAR-356. It becomes the XFV-12 interceptor for Zumwalt Sea Control Ship. Even after that one is canned, two prototypes are...

I read that Convair proposed the Model 6 heavy-lift transport as a derivative of the Advanced C-99 project with the backswept wings and tail surfaces from the YB-60 competitor to the B-52, and I wanted to ask what the course of US heavy-lift capability during the early Cold War would have been...

I'm looking for General Dynamics' entry into the Navy's VFX program, I found info on the 303, 225, and the 507 but I can't seem to find anything on General Dynamics. From what I've read on the internet it seems to be a smaller version of the failed F-111B with a large folding vertical...

Hi everyone, IRL the US and UK jointly embarked on a complete Harrier redesign as the AV-8B as the US had no V/STOL alternative at the moment. But had the US chosen to finish development of the Convair Model 200 instead of the XVF-12A, and had this worked well enough to enter service, there...

Interesting model. Also has pics of other models that look will be up for auction soon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RESIN-BOOST-GLYDE-VEHICLE-and-metal-MINUTEMAN-3-BOOSTERS-/201483158527?hash=item2ee95503ff:g:nikAAOSwnH1Wauuj

This is a new one to me. I've searched the forum and could not find much if anything on it, so I am posting a new topic dedicated to the Convair 660, a short-haul twin-jet. (Please remove or combine with another appropriate topic, if it already exists). The model photos (and artistic rendering)...

I spotted the photographs below in the 'Seaplane Jetfighters' thread and was wondering if anyone has any more information on the submarine design shown below. The pictures depict a 10th scale model of a 'Fleet Submarine' which was to be used to suport seaplane combat aircraft. The testing took...

In a Italian magazine of 1939,"Panorama",i have read an article about Americans flying boats. Was said that a method at the study for land takeoff of flying boats ( in runways near sea aerodromes) was put the flying boat piggy-back on a sort of not flying launch vehicle for reach speed for...

There seem to be several posts on this aircraft scattered amongst half a dozen threads, but no dedicated thread, so. . .

Quite interesting video about the B-36! B) View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9CWQNZRF8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9CWQNZRF8

The July 1946 issue of Air Trails magazine has an article on large-scale flying models used for aerodynamic research. There are several images of a four-engine flying boat -- obviously if CVAC went to the expense of doing this, then it expected to build something. The legend on the nose reads...

Hi, I found this strange drawing to F 102,may be,they meant Convair F-102, but please look to its air intakes !,I think this a French imagine to F-102 before it appeared...
