Sturgeon Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Among extremely high performance manned aircraft, it's actually pretty medium-sized. Compare it to an Orbiter or XB-70, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm imagining that flock of KA-52s taking to the air like pigeons in a John Woo film after the protagonist's brother is shot. Speaking of which, I didn't realize that Russia had that many KA-52s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Interesting. Very YF-23 vibe, especially the nozzle design. Looks unmanned though! How is the boundary layer management supposed to be done, I wonder? I have long thought that the F-23 would have been better with dorsal air intakes. Supposedly people are working on dorsal intakes that work at high AOA. Speaking of which... LostCosmonaut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priory_of_Sion Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Swing Wing F-4 Phantom From hushkit.net "The US Navy’s F-111B project was looking distinctly shaky in the mid-1960s. It was too heavy and too sluggish, so the Navy looked around for alternatives, a search which would eventually led to the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. The McDonnell company offered an unsolicited solution, a variable geometry wing variant of the hugely successful F-4 Phantom II. An assessment of this proposal, given the provisional designation F-4 (FV)S, revealed that this it was lacking in several key areas, notably combat effectiveness: the AN / AWG-10 radar and AIM-7F missiles would be a significant downgrade from the desired AN /AWG-9/AIM-54 combination. Scorned by the Navy, McDonnell offered the aircraft to Britain as a cheaper alternative to the Anglo-French AFVG then under consideration. This aircraft would have been powered by the British Rolls-Royce RB-168-27R and given the designation F-4M (FVS). This promising project never left the drawing board."
