    Aircraft equipped with in-flight thrust reverser

    I am researching STOL aircraft equipped with thrust reversers, and I'm trying to remember which had such system installed. I know the F-15 S/MTD was supposed to use it, and i think there was at least one airliner that was certified to use them on approach. Can you think of any?

    Unknown aircraft concept

    Here's a sketch of an unknown aircraft recently found on eBay. Any ideas on what I bought? My guess is that it's a proposed VTOL or extreme STOL aircraft intended for COIN applications. The signature is dated 1974 (I think) which would be right for the SEA-type camouflage. If the A3... number...

    Siebel Si 201 pusher aircraft

    Not being much of a German aircraft specialist, I find myself stuck trying to identify this strange little pusher bird... It may well be a Focke-Wulf project, but that's my only clue. I'm sure someone will be able to identify it soon and put me to shame! Thanks in advance for your help.

    F 4 Phantom fails in the early 60s- 1154s or Lightnings?

    The F4 Phantom might have failed to materialise as the wonderful plane which the RAF and RN used to fill various gaps from the 60s onwards. In a Phantomless world would P1154 have been developed as planned in 1963 for both RAF and RN or would the Lightning have been developed in its swing wing...
