What if the Arial Target had been developed quicker, was available for some of the last Zeppelin raids on the UK and successfully brought one or more down, would that have any longer term effects?

Hello again everyone, I am not sure how rare this is, yet I stumbled across the following link while looking for inspiration: https://www.panzer-modell.de/berichte/brencarrier/bren.php At first, I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek story invented for a model, similar to the likes of Luft46...

In some sources, a Romanian remote-controlled demolition vehicle - supposedly, a version of Sd.Kfz 302/303 "Goliath" tracked mine - is mentioned. According to a few available data, though, this machine was much larger, about 2 tons, and supposedly radio-controlled. It was tested in 1944...

Hardly a week doesn't go by when I haven't read or heard of one of the U.S. armed services developing and/or deploying some sort of autonomous unmanned vehicle for future armed conflicts. As much as I like reading about all the technological developments that the U.S. and/or other militaries are...

Hello folks, Hope this is not old news or wrongly placed – if so, many apologies: for all that the illustration below is an artist's impression, I decided to try this in 'Early Aircraft' (as opposed to ‘Theoretical and Speculative’) because there were at least scale-model versions of this idea...

I came across the Saro P.200 brochure at Kew and a file of related correspondence. The P.200 was designed in 1957 to meet an Admiralty requirement. The hull was a normal planing bow with a tunnel aft to carry a Pentane A/S homing torpedo. The hydrofoils and rudders were separated to allow the...

I've only found three of the progress reports so far; Seventh, Eighth and Ninth: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/b816042.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/b816034.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/b816035.pdf Some background on the project can be found here and here.

I dont think it is going to matter how confident the aerospace community becomes with UAVs. Jo Public will never accept and thus we will never see a pilot less airliner...
