I've been looking for some trialled weapons on the bo-105 helicopter and I just can't seem to find any images of the stinger pods mounted on the chopper. Any help would be appreciated.

I just found a very interesting picture on wikipedia, and i dont know where else to post it. All information i have for now is from wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt. i found it on the LRAC F1 article so maybe it was an alternative proposal for that program. In the image the rocket...

Hello everyone, I have been researching supermaneuverable aircraft recently and the Rockwell-Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm X-31 (MBB X-31 from here) has always fascinated me as it was demonstrated to be the most maneuverable modern fighter aircraft for years and still might be the most maneuverable...

In the 1980s, the German company Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) developed a 3/4 testbed for a top-secret Medium Range Missile Fighter (MRMF) code named "Lampyridae" (Firefly). Using a polyhedral airframe that eschewed right angles and curved surfaces to avoid radar detection, the "Lampyridae"...

In the early to mid 1970's the German navy was experimenting with the navalization of both the Gepard SPAA gun system and the ROLAND-II surface to air missile system. I was wondering does anyone know if these systems were ever tested successfully and ever used? I remember seeing them in a old...

Hi, I aware that my dear Boxkite mentioned this aircraft before here; http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2924.msg23631 and here is its model from 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.)

A few years ago I saw a poster(?) of the West German space shuttle (or lifting body proposal?) ERNO (= Entwicklungsring Nord) LB 21 Bumerang inside the Peenemünde museum. After this 'meeting' I never saw it again, neither in books nor in magazines. Who can help with details (illustrations...
