Hi all From"les avions et engins Martin" Minidocavia - Alain PELLETIER. The project MARTIN 216 . Who know more ? Thanks if you know something.

Just posted by the San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) Archives on Flickr, a 1962 General Dynamics Astronautics film detailing the ORCA Weapons System / Project Sunrise, a containerized / encapsulated ocean floor-based ballistic missile (ICBM). The only mention of the concept I was able to...

Hello, I am air-enthusiast from Russia. Sorry for my bad English! Probably B-52 is the best strategic aircraft of the XX century. I especially interested in B-52 early variants and I have questions about the oldest "Buff"`s avionics. All the books I had read (Boyne, Davis & Tornborough...

Is there anyone who can ID this plane for me? Is this a fake Picture ?! Regards, AK

Hi, here is the North American/Rockwell MMIPS,a Multimode Integrated Propulsion System, fitted with a small Mach 2.7 SSBJ aircraft. http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19810009482_1981009482.pdf

Boeing KC-135 model with winglets found on eBay. Source: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NASA-USAF-AIR-FORCE-KC-135-WINGLETS-MODEL-KC135-/251161721311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7a67b9df Seller's description:

The F4 Phantom might have failed to materialise as the wonderful plane which the RAF and RN used to fill various gaps from the 60s onwards. In a Phantomless world would P1154 have been developed as planned in 1963 for both RAF and RN or would the Lightning have been developed in its swing wing...

Silo costs 1960s. What were the Titan 2 silo costs (1960$)? What were the 1960 Blue Streak silo cost estimates? How did they compare? How did they compare with Polaris costs?

Has anyone come across any info on this project? This is what I have from the Missile Scrapbook over in designation-systems.net:

Greetings All - I recently acquired a copy of Aerofax "Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker" by Robert Hopkins III. In the book, he notes that Lockheed "won" the competition for the KC-135 though Air Research Development Command, with Lemay's concurrence, had already ordered 29 (followed by 88 more) of...

I can't find any images of this, but I've read about studies that were undertaken to bring the B-70's RCS down to that of the B-52. Plans called for 10-20 degrees of dihedral to be added to the wings, vertical tail-surfaces to be canted inward 10-20 degrees, as well as the addition of slanted...

Ideas? (I know what it is but the site I got it from is a rare treat. Just wondering if anybody else had seen it. :-) )

Whilst looking for information on studies for 156" solid rockets applied to ICBMs, I came across this presentation on ATK's large motors. Buried in there is the notion of an ICBM using a 260" solid rocket motor for the first stage of an ICBM - no mention of what the second stage is, other than...

Weapons Systems 118P called for high altitude reconnaissance aircraft proposals and was the forerunner of aircraft such as the B-70 Valkyrie and SR-71 Blackbird. Scott Lowther, a.k.a. Orionblamblam, had done a great deal of work to make the WS-118P proposals available on his blog and in his...

I'm looking for information, technical data, 3-line drawings, pictures etc about projects based on C-17 Globemaster III ( for example C-17B ).

In the late 1980s, the USAF reassessed its training missions. The aging T-37s and T-38s could not be refurbished and uphauled indefinitely, and so new specifications were to be drafted. JPATS would provide a primary trainer for future pilots; and TTTS would provide a platform for future tanker...
