I couldn't find anything already posted about this, but there's an auction on eBay for a pic of this 4 seater buckeye prototype. Can't really tell much, but see for yourselves...

From www.army.mil PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. -- During a firefight, the last thing a machine gunner wants to do is stop fighting to change barrels, but that's how it has always been done with standard, single steel-barrel machine guns. The reason for the barrel change is that at high temperatures...

To reply no. 55 by Aerofranz, I misidentified the illustration's top sensor carrier as the Bell SeaPig. It's actually the SeaKat, still from Bell Aerospace. I apologize for the error. Attached are a couple views of a SeaKat factory model. I would be grateful for any info about this little-known...

I have finished some simple drawings of US destroyer designs from the 1960s and 1970s. The drawings are based on sketches and artist renderings found in Norman Friedman's book "US Destroyers An Illustrated Design History". I find the nuclear frigate design (Typhoon) very interesting. Fishjay

I was reading up on the Sperry M1 Messenger, which naturally led to the Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk, and this intriguing reference: I have to ask...does anyone have any more info on or images of Design 124? Cheers, Matthew

This specification called for a penetration/escort fighter. Here is a list of designs which I believe were submitted to OS-112, a specification that produced no actual aircraft. Perhaps Paul can confirm the following from Jared's book, which I do not have (I would appreciate details as to the...

Hi folks, Does anyone have a good quality drawing of the EA-18G Growler? Regards, Greg

I figured people would enjoy these pictures, since it was mentioned in another thread that the USN never really released anything on nuclear surface ship machinery. You can clearly see a Nimitz with both reactors and a number of turbines installed. I’m pretty certain its CVN-77 based on all the...
