Many years ago in the 70s I bought a boardgame called Red Star White Star about a hypothetical mid-70s war between US/West German units and Russian forces. The counters had neat silhouettes of M60s and Sheridans for the US and Leopards for the Germans. Seeing the thread on MBT 70 reminded me...

Sperry's Proposal for the DIVAD system: Was based off their earlier T37 VIGILANTE AA Gun, but rechambered in 35mm NATO instead of 37mm. ------ General Electric's Proposal for the DIVAD system: Utilizing their GAU-8A AVENGER cannon system.

Is this AH-1Z a newer version of the AH-1 Cobra gunship? The designation is the same, but i don't know if the helicopter is the same.

My first post, I think. Bear with me... I've tried several times now to find more info on this Abrams CATTB (Component Advanced Technology TestBed), but Google and co lead me to VERY limited information. Text in the pic tell you all I know. Does Anyone know if Jane's International Defence...

R.I.P. Comanche. :( A few pics of the cancelled EMD phase Comanche. Anyone have more info? I know for a fact that a publicly released 3-view exists but I haven't been able to find it yet. http://www.tinyurl.com/3ac5h3 http://www.tinyurl.com/ytw7dw

I have seen photos of a US Mechanised Infantry Combat Vehicle designed on the chassis of the M 107 pelf propelled gun. There seem to be two distinct versions, onw with a sharp and another with a boxy front. Does anyone have any drawings? UK 75

Does anyone have a 3-View of this experimental tank?

Ryan VTOL fighter project of the late 1950's. From Japanese Magazine "The Aviation Magazine" September 1958.

I photographed this years ago at the Paris air Show but I never found any other reference to it (like designation, specs, 3 views....) I dimmly remember a reference to the cargo bay being kept in the design and could be used as bomb or torpedo(!!!) bay .... any info ? JCC

Just some pictures. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated. (That is, beyond what's on Andreas' site ;) ) Had some computer problems. Got to reformat my C drive yesterday so it'll probably be tomorrow or the next day before I get the pics up.

Dear boxkite, after we speak about Kamov,Mil and Boeing-Vertol, can we speak about Gyrodyne; we know QH-50,DSN-1,DSN-2,DSN-3, HOG,GCA-2,GCA-5,GCA-7,GCA-41 (XRON-1) and GCA-59 (YRON-1). but there are anther nine projects to this company; GCA-3,GCA-8, GCA-9,GCA-21,GCA-24,GCA-32,GCA-33,GCA-35 and...

I am looking for the competing design of General Motors Corporation that ran against, and lost to the Chrysler Corporation's Main Battle Tank design of 1973, that would become the now famous 'M1 Abrams MBT' Pictures, drawings and technical data please if you have it Regards Pioneer

AFAIK, the only tank with an oscillating turret automatic reloading systems was French AMX-13, one of the best light tanks ever built. Much less known is that in early 1950s US Army had a numeber of tank protos built and tested. US designs were for medium and heavy tanks. I have info on three of...

Originally it was planned to be on a system like this.

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.

Was suppose to be a counter to the Russian JS III heavy tank. It weighed in at 65 tons with a 120mm gun. Although it did make it into service in small numbers it was a rarity.

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