seems to have been a number of german short range SAM programmes in the late 1990's Perhaps for our german memebrs - BGT version of HFK/KV a two stage missile, with boster and coast to target second stage at mach-3 to a range of 12km. Photo below (JSWS-issue 30) others were DASA HKK/L2 missile...

Hi, When I got a variants to Beoing C-135, I think it was not interesting, but when I read it I find many variants were little known. C-135A cargo/troop transport aircraft for US Military Air Transport Service with J57-59W engines. EC-135A conversions of KC-135A as flying command post and...

The preferred UK AEW for the RAF was always the Nimrod as it was big and in production. In 1966 studies looked at various radar options, but lack of money delayed it. All of the above comes from 'Airborne Early Warning, design, development and operations' by Mike Hirst, Osprey, 1983.

The US Mauler system for point defence was also intended for the British forces, both in its land and sea versions. It is interesting to speculate what the system would have looked like in UK service. Even more fascinating is the BAC PT428 missile system, similar to Mauler, but cancelled in...

Blackbird: Beyond the Secret Missions A classic book, full of fascinating details about the design and operations of the A-12, YF-12 and SR-71, with good material on peripheral matters like Soviet MiG-25 and MiG-31 and Swedish JA-37 interceptions. <a...

Who could post a picture of the 1957 Heinkel He 012 ( or 021 ? ) fighter project ? Thanks a lot for the help ! Richard

Hi Folks, I am interested in information on the cancelled British CVA-01 carrier design. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thankyou in advance. Regards, Greg

Hi again, about P1154 I find this pic.

(I wasn't sure if this should be included under the Horizon thread, as there were at least 8 projects between Type 42 and Type 45 in the UK alone, let alone any other nations, and Horizon was just one of those) (Note that the image is resized by the forum code and is actually 994 * 582...

Air Enthusiast, September 1971

Hallo, it is good field to start serearch about new projects. in 1954 NATO issue a competition for lightweight strike fighter,all the members submitted a proposals,such as: Italy Fiat G-91 France Breguet BR-1001 Taon Germany Messerschmitt P.1225 can you complete ?.

In AJ Jackson's book Avro Aircraft since 1908 reference is made to a predecessor design to the CF-105 Arrow that would have used two stacked turbojet engines (like the EE Lightning), a swept delta wing and conventional tailplane. This is the first I've heard of such a proposal and am wondering...

In the late 1980's I remember the West Germans talking about their plans for their next gen of MBT that was going to replace the Leopard 1. It was called the Leopard 3. Does anyone have anything in the way of how far this project got - i.e prototype? is there any art work or drawings or...

This was an air defense system based on the M1 chassis. ISTR it had two 25mm guns and ADATS missiles but I can't find anything on it.

Nice pics of an MBT-70 prototype http://tanxheaven.com/mbo/MBT-70/MBT-70.htm
