Britain's Avro 730 supersonic bomber concept was the first kit produced by Fantastic Plastic. (It was released in October 2005). After being out of production for almost two years, I've brought it back as a new, improved model. Whereas the first kit was a simple "tabletop" model, Version 2.0...

The first model I did for Fantastic Plastic back in 2004 was the British Avro 730 bomber in 1/144 scale. Last year I was asked to re-visit the model. I completely rescribed it, added cockpit, landing gear and bomb bay details, and just generally improved the hell out of it. The first time...

Attached is a plan-view of a 1959 Avro Canada supersonic transport study. (From Canadian Aircraft Since 1909 by K.M. Molson, ISBN: 0370300955.) This STAT (Supersonic Trans-Atlantic Transport) study was listed as configuration 6, a transatlantic design carrying 80 passengers. A number of online...

Over many years I have gathered together brochures and artwork (cards ads etc) for the Boeing SST So far I have artwork for the following: Airlift (photo of broken model from ebay) Alitalia (drawing in brochure) Braniff (image from Internet site) Continental (photo of model in brochure-meatball...

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 hadn't seen this posted here before and so I thought I'd post it for the benefit of anyone who hadn't seen it before. Volume I Volume II Volume III Volume IV Not having the benefit of an education in aerospace, what is the meaning of the V Limit Design and V Max Design lines on the first...

Hi Hesham, I don't think that can be called a project, as it says 'possible layout' in the picture. It's just some informed speculation on the part of the author. Starviking

Hi, The Japanese company NAMC YS-12 was developed from YS-11 but powered by two Rolls Royce dart RDa 10s ,YS-31 was with two RDa 7s and the YS-12-4 was with four RDa 10 engines. http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1959/1959%20-%203097.html?search=ys-12

<...A study was conducted to determinehhe impact of integrated flight, inlet, and engine control system architectures on system effectiveness (safety, mission reliability, maintainability, dispatchability, and availability) and life cycle cost (LCC). The aircraft is a modified Lockheed YF-12...

"Clearly, ATF was going to be superstealth and not a cousin of YF-12 or SR-71," explains Osborne. "I stopped the YF-12 derivative effort, and we started working on an F-117 derivative for ATF." The design submitted in the Lockheed proposal looked like a larger and elongated F-117 with some...

Hi, I spoke before about ER.134T contenders; in ER.134T for Mach 2 research aircraft,the contenders were AW.166, Boulton Paul P.128,Bristol-188,English-Electric P.6 ,Hawker P.1096 and P.1097,Saro P.163 and Vickers-Supermarine-553...

If someone happy to have hi-res version of these North American Rockwell PR drawings (NA-73-400, Rev 9-83), I would be very obliged for sharing them with me. Thank you.

Just wondering if anyone knows what the tested maximum altitude and speed of the A-12/SR71 was? I contacted the USAF recently and they simply stuck to the published figures saying it flew at 85,000ft and could reach Mach 3.3. This doesn't seem to make sense as variants of the F-4, F-104 and...

Hi, in ER.110D Spec. for variable wing-sweep research aircraft,the contenders were Armstrong Whitworth AW.59,Blackburn B-90,Boulton Paul P.121,Bristol-183 and Saunders P.149. The Balckburn B-90 was single seat VG aircraft project powered by one Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire turbojet and it had...

Browsing in the NASA technical reports I found a score of wind-tunnel tests regarding a supersonic cruise bomber that seems linked to some unknown B-70 follow on specification from late '50s (report is from 1961). Some photographic reproductions of the models are practically unviewable, but...
