Can someone identify this US UAV concept?

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...

In this Lockheed advertisment the AH-56 is shown with an additional outline, giving a deeper fuselage and it is advertised to be the basis for a transport for up to 30 passengers or as a ASW helicopter. Are there any other pictures, drawings or photos of mock-ups of these versions ?

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

Another interesting Hughes AAH picture - in packed form. Original specifications also called for using of ejector seats and carrying additional antitank missiles internaly, so the helicopter should be re-armed during short landing. Mi-24 crews do it sometimes.

In 1955, the US Army issued a requirement for the development of a next generation gas turbine-powered medivac helicopter The winner of this competition would be awarded to Bell with their Model 204, then designated as the XH-40, and later again in 1962 it was changed to UH-1 Iroquois. I have...
