vtol

Hi there, during my 20 year long research on secret Luftwaffe developments 1944/45 in several archives around the world, I never came across the following VTOL development sketches by von Ohain: It is describing a plane by the company of Heinkel-Hirth-Motoren GmbH, Dr. von Ohain, in 1944...

i have been looking at a lot of old US vtol project that had promises but it got cancelled and it got me thinking. what would happend if some of those projets succeed, and what would happenend if thay did .

What if some one developed a strap-on VTOL kit for airplanes. This question was s motivated by the recurring rumours of VTOL replacements for all the C-130 military transports currently in service. VTOL is so heavy and expensive that it detracts from range. You do not a thrust-to-weight ratio...

This month Dan Sharp is releasing his latest bookazine in his "Luftwaffe Secret Projects" series. I created the cover for it, featuring what must be the craziest airplane I ever made in 3D - and I've made some weird things the past 25 years! It's the Heinkel Lerche III VTOL nightfighter. This...

I represent you Republic AP-100 3D model made in blender and texture in substance painter do you think 6 engine thrust vectoring are practical ? :p the wing is only for roll

Anybody know what this is? It's on display at a little museum near me, and they say they purchased it from a museum near Austin, Texas. It's got to be a figment of someones imagination, maybe for movie use? http://www.russellmilitarymuseum.com/hind.html thanks

Convair submitted the Model 49 as its proposal for the Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS) competition. From Modeling Madness: Sources: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread72972/pg1 http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/viet/us/army/model49.htm

We have a whole bunch of threads, alt-history or not. But no full blown TL so far. The POD: May 1972, common sense prevails: Convair Model 200 carries the day over Rockwell NAR-356. It becomes the XFV-12 interceptor for Zumwalt Sea Control Ship. Even after that one is canned, two prototypes are...

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...

Operational test of Jetpacks has resurfaced fuelled by Startups with no real market and a full trail of blazing innovation. I think it's time we have a thread to discuss gently and keep each other updated on the subject. Here is an illustration of a discutable experiment: View...

Hi, I know we spoke about this aircraft before,but I get a new clearer PDF and I prefer to open a new topic for it,with a clearer artist drawing. http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2140.msg110711.html#msg110711

By the way, the Focke Wulf Triebflugel was called FW.354.

Looking quite notional, but it's the only picture I've seen so far of the Aerophysics contender for the flying jeep: (from Aviation Week August 1957)
