Collimatrix Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 A video from Selex ES, showing just how far electronic warfare has come: Radar has become sophisticated enough that spitting out strips of aluminum foil doesn't fool it anymore. The big idea now is to spit out little active radio-frequency noisemakers. Thanks to the wizardry of modern electronics, these noisemakers can be made small enough to fit into chaff dispenser slots! Look out for the cameo by MiG 1.44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think it's this: An early, wrong notion of what PAK-FA would look like. They threw it in the advert because it looks cool, and it speaks to the European military aerospace community's desire to make proper stealth fighters. Which they could do if they were America.

Donward Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 And for something completely different. The world's oldest flyable metal Boeing airplane, the 83-year old 247D, made its final flight before being retired to the Museum of Flight. http://komonews.com/news/local/photos-worlds-oldest-flyable-boeing-plane-makes-final-flight Collimatrix and LostCosmonaut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm not sure. The Museum of Flight's website isn't that helpful basically saying that this plane wound up somewhere in Latin America. https://www.museumofflight.org/content/last-flight-museums-rare-1933-boeing-247d-airliner-april-26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 There was some restored airline, a Boeing type, that from my bad memory, was on a post restoration flight and had to ditch, but I don't 'remember' any other details.

Donward Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 No I don't know. I wish I had been paying attention as I would have gone down to Boeing Field to watch. But I had grown up stuff to do today and had to go down to our cold storage space in Fife to pick up a pickup truck of our salmon to prepare for market season and deliveries. But we're kind of spoiled out here with the number of airplane museums in the Seattle area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Shamelessly reposting my own post from a different section. Also, speaking of aircraft and such earlier, I figured I'd mention something, I said something about a J-10C the other day, which is basically a J-10B with some minor and major improvements alike, but, most notably external conformal fuel tanks and an upgraded engine variant that's more fuel efficient yet has better overall performance dubbed the WS-10G, this is intended to fix the range issues the J-10 series has, it can also operate off of carriers. (though, contrary to fan photos, there's no actual reports of a 2 engine variant actually existing.) artist depiction of what it may look like when finished. Rumored first prototype "201" Note the stripped areas of the paint surface, where the tanks would be intended to go, it also has extra antennas under the nose and on the rear the J-10B doesn't have, the purpose of these is unknown at the moment.

LostCosmonaut Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 This wasn't the one that had to land in a lake or something was it? I think that was a Boeing 307. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think that was a Boeing 307. Yes it was, here's the snippet from Wiki The only surviving Boeing 307 Stratoliner (NC19903) is preserved in flying condition at the Smithsonian Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. On March 28, 2002, this aircraft crashed into Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington, on what was to be its last flight before heading to the Smithsonian.[28] Despite the incident, it was again restored, flown to the Smithsonian, and is now on display.[29] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Double duck attack! Su-34 and Ka-52. What are the Russian nicknames for these aircraft? My sources say that Russian pilots mostly use NATO codenames, unless they think the codenames are too stupid (they weren't big fans of "frogfoot"). But this is a quite old book.

LoooSeR Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 IDK, but i never heard that Russian pilots use NATO names. I heard Su-34 was refered as a Duck (Utyonok). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
