interceptor

Hi everyone , Looking out for more information and a drawing , of the ( Two-seat ) version of the Nakajima Navy Exp.18-Shi " Tenrai " ( J5N1 ) otsu ( B ) type interceptor fighter. Source : Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War ( R.J.Francillon ) Thank's in advance Swallow.

Hi folks, I recently came across Adrian Mann's (rather fine) "Illustration of a Vickers Type 432 firing an Artemis air-to-air missile", at: https://www.strata.com/showcase_detail.asp?id=2051&category=67 (I take it the target is an Me-264.) Does anyone know if the Vickers 432 was ever...

Last month's DTI carried a blurb on the Mig-31 BM . the last line talked about the Mig-31 BM's ability to counter stealth cruise missiles and Hypersonics. In this context I propose to start a discussion as to how the Mig-31 BM may indeed accomplish the same.

Got this while touring WPAFB restoration facility looking for YF-23. Was told it is only example existant.

Thanks guys - just got lucky in receiving these. That wav file made the dogs in the neighborhood howl in pain ;D How about the XF-91 this time... Enjoy the Day! Mark

Found this on the buran.ru website: http://www.buran.ru/htm/bors.htm#bor-7 Please note that it explicitly says the image with the Su-27 on a rocket has no relation to the real appearance of the proposed interceptor. I would guess the actual design might resemble a Spiral / Bor-4 - or then not...

Does anyone have a drawing(s) of the F-12B interceptor as it would have appeared in its final form? KJ_Lesnick

The Boeing Xf8b-1 Fighter: Last of the Line by Jared A. Zichek Schiffer Publishing Folks, This makes for an excellent read! The book is very nicely done and is packed to the gills with information about this big Boeing beastie. Yeah, they only made three aircraft and the thing was never...

<...A study was conducted to determinehhe impact of integrated flight, inlet, and engine control system architectures on system effectiveness (safety, mission reliability, maintainability, dispatchability, and availability) and life cycle cost (LCC). The aircraft is a modified Lockheed YF-12...

Hi, In 1985 the Northrop designed a new project called F-5S (by that time),it was proposed as a version of F-5G (F-20) for Sweden, with 30 percent larger wing,do you know it ?.

Hi, The Kyushu J7W2 single seat jet interceptor project.

Ditto but this time with GD TFX. No laughing. A simple chuckle will suffice.

Just wondering if anyone knows what the tested maximum altitude and speed of the A-12/SR71 was? I contacted the USAF recently and they simply stuck to the published figures saying it flew at 85,000ft and could reach Mach 3.3. This doesn't seem to make sense as variants of the F-4, F-104 and...

Lockheed SR-71/YF-12 Blackbirds Excellent volume in the Warbird Tech series, good solid information from a good author. Recommended. ****

Blackbird: Beyond the Secret Missions A classic book, full of fascinating details about the design and operations of the A-12, YF-12 and SR-71, with good material on peripheral matters like Soviet MiG-25 and MiG-31 and Swedish JA-37 interceptions. <a...

I found this on another Forum sight In late 1962 or early 1963, Republic proposed the F-105H, with a new wing of 448 square feet, two seats, new landing gear, vertical fin, stabilator, new nose, etc. This was really a new design, and the USAF did not go for it. They are looking for pictures...

To my shame, this is the first time when I see La-250 in flight.

In AJ Jackson's book Avro Aircraft since 1908 reference is made to a predecessor design to the CF-105 Arrow that would have used two stacked turbojet engines (like the EE Lightning), a swept delta wing and conventional tailplane. This is the first I've heard of such a proposal and am wondering...
