...with an openend brake-chute but I lacked time to find it... The article that gave me most satisfaction was a research about the Zero-Length Launch mania with F-84, F-100 and even F-104 thrown in the air with huge solid propellent rockets! As related matter, there is also a pic of the...

Then i suppose that D4Y5 could be an other special attack version if was produced.

When the Japanese Government acquired the production licence of the in-line Daimler-Benz DB 601A engine in 1940, the main manufacturers of fighters made plans to create an interceptor that was faster and had higher ceiling. The IJN was not initially interested in the possibilities offered by the...

...airborne away from enemy targeted areas (namely civilian and military airfields) was developed in the mid-1950s as the mobile Zero-Length Launch (ZELL) technique. Deployed openly or within hardened shelters near likely targets, the aircraft with its load of conventional or nuclear weapons...

Was the Delta-1 developed as a Tailsitter?

- Fake Tail Sitter On January 8, 1941, an engineer of the Bell Aircraft Corporation named Arthur Young applied for a patent of a tail sitter VTOL airplane. It was propelled by one radial engine located behind the pilot driving two big contra-rotating propellers by means a geared drive shaft...

American Flying Saucers Between 1932 and 1935 the NACA-Langley aerodynamicist Charles H. Zimmerman wind-tunnel tested low aspect ratio wings (with semicircular wingtips and Clark Y airfoils) searching a solution to the Air Flivver problem of stall/spin accidents. The development of a...

FMA IA-60 a early Pampa concept The IA-60 FMA was a blueprint for an advanced training and tactical attack aircraft, developed at the former Military Aircraft Factory (today FADEA) by a team of approximately 18 engineers led by the Head of the Engineering Department of the FMA, at that time...

The original Navy air-to-air missile program began near the end of World War II when BuAer advanced the concept of a beam-riding 5-in (13-cm) high-velocity aircraft rocket (HVAR). With this type of guidance system the launching aircraft illuminated the target with radar and the missile simply...

Kawanishi Baika Would Japan have not surrendered after the atomic attacks over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, the Allies would have been forced to land on the Japanese home islands. There were plans to carry out the invasion in two phases. The first step, known as ‘Operation Olympic’...

That's fair, I was making an assumption based on the usual Olympus main turbine and Tyne cruising turbine setup. Notionally a four Olympus TM1A set-up would give you 60,000shp, though the Invincibles with four TM3B made 94,000shp. Type 42 had two TM3B for 50,000shp and two Tyne RM1C for 9,700shp...

Horten Ho X Series During the two last years of the war, an ultra secret research program was developed in Germany under the name Hochstgeschwindigkeit (HG) Programm with the objective o finding aerodynamic solutions to the problem of the compressibility buffeting. The Messerschmitt firm...

How about a HASTOL - PROFAC - LUNOX alliance ? for trafficking of liquid oxygen ? ... Three natural sizes of tether systems in low Earth orbit have been determined. First is a hanging, swinging tether with a length of 25 to 50 km, that can impart a delta V of up to 0.1 km/s. The medium tether...

Throwing more stuff into that big hole. I really - but really - enjoyed writting that little bit. --------- It was a scene straight out of a (future) TV show called Space: 1999, and reminiscent of its Eagle lander. An S-IVB was descending toward the lunar surface, braking heavily under thrust...

In September 1931, taking advantage of a period of political weakness in China, Japan declared the independence on Manchuria and proclaimed it the new protectorate of Manchukuo. At the beginning of 1932, Mitsubishi B1M-3 bombers from IJN carrier Kaga, escorted by Nakajima A1N-2 (239 kph)...
