    Designations of Swiss missiles

    I've been trying to compile a list of all the Swiss missile designations. So far, I have: There are definitely some missing, but there are 2 I'm stuck on in particular: the AIM-120C-7 and AIM-9X. Both I have only ever seen listed as Flz Lwf LL AIM-9X and Flz Lwf LL AMRAAM 120C-7 respectively...

    Alternative AAM history: AIM-4H enters service.

    For all the issues Falcon had in Vietnam, it has to be remembered that unlike Sparrow and Sidewinder, every Falcon kill was an impact kill, implying that on those occasions when things actually worked, it might have been the better missile. AIM-4H was in development to sort out Falcon's worst...

    K+W C-37

    The C-35 and the C-36 are well known, actually built, aircraft of "Eidgenössische Konstruktionswerkstätte" in Thun. The planned C-37 is rather less known. Last year I had the chance to re-work an 1978-article of "Cockpit" and I was lucky to get to see a painting of Roland Eichenberger -...

Attached below are some reference photos of the Aiguillon in the Swiss air force museum in Dübendorf. I took the photos when I went...

    Early Swiss aircraft rockets? (Pre 8 cm Oerlikon)

    So it has come to my attention that the Swiss developed some type of airborne attack rocket during WWII, however finding information, let alone pictures of it has proven impossible for me. Does anyone here happen to have more information on the subject? I do know that the Swiss had some type of...

    Postwar fighter projects from Switzerland (Schweiz / Suisse)

    Hi until very recently I had no idea the Swiss undertook the design of jet fighters in the 50's. I believe that two designs were produced i.e. FFA P-16 and the N20. Appatrently they were poor, mainly due to being underpowered (?). I wonder if anyone has any more details, refs or 3 view pics...
