A picture from an 80's military advertisement lead to these other two images. Interesting similiarities between the 25 year old ANS test vehicle and Taiwan's recent supersonic cruise missile. ;) (The ad is aerospatiale.)

I read in numerous sources that their were proposals for a Big Wing version of Jaguar, but have never seen any details or any images. Anyone help? Regards.

A few years ago I saw a poster(?) of the West German space shuttle (or lifting body proposal?) ERNO (= Entwicklungsring Nord) LB 21 Bumerang inside the Peenemünde museum. After this 'meeting' I never saw it again, neither in books nor in magazines. Who can help with details (illustrations...

My dear Jemiba, can I ask you if there was a project to Hawker called HS-810 VTOL transport aircraft or not ?.

Obviously, this concept by French company DCN is aimed to rival the Zumwaalt class of future destroyers that are being developped ( not without problems, so it seems) by the US Navy. Trimaran design, a proposed armament of a single three gun turret ( 155mm). One single launch module for 48...

Only a question, I just came along : There were, planned or actually built, twin seat versions of the Ouragan, the Mystere, Mystere II and IV, the Breguet 1003 Taon and, of course, of the Mirage series, III to 2000, some intended as trainers, others as night/all-weather fighters. But still...
