Hughes Aircraft Company XAAM-N-11 model with "Marine" markings found on ebay. To my eye this looks different than the production AIM-54 Phoenix. Thoughts? Seller's description: Source...

I was somewhat surprised to see no thread on the Iron Dome system, particularly after its success against the recent Hamas rockets fired against Israel. Does anybody have any information on the system?

One of the joys of this site is the quantity of info available on unbuilt aircraft projects. Particularly tantalising are the various projects in the 70s and 80s for a supersonic VSTOL to replace the Harrier. The Bae 1216 has been the best covered thanks to Michael Pryce. Various US designs...

The next PTP I am writing, on Harrier Projects, is about 50% written. It will feature some things already known about, but tell their full story, such as: as well as revealing wholly new stories, such as the full saga of the Harrier III, the proposed Sea Harrier FRS.3 and some weird and...

Hello everybody,J look to archive to find cutaway of this magnificent aircraft,does somebody have cutaway of any version,Thanks in advance

SecDef Gates and the MC Commandant (some say under orders) recommended in budget hearings last month that the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) program be cancelled in favor of a cheaper alternative. That may not be the end of the story as General Dynamics is lobbying hard that it would...

Today it is 50 years since the first Hawker P.1127 hovered, on 21st of October 1960. Despite the recent news that the UK is retiring its fleet the US Marine Corps, Spanish Navy, Italian Navy and Indian Navy continue to operate it, and it is likely that the Harrier will still be in service for...

Leaks reported on SDSR were accurate. Harrier and current carriers to be retired, in 2011 for Harrier. 1 CVF to get cats and traps and F-35C from 2020. Other CVF to be mothballed. Nimrod MRA.4 cancelled, new 'low cost frigates' to join escort force numbering 19. Reduced Tornado fleet retained...

Fun. I liek the C-5A for scale. Clearly we need a folding wing C-5C to fit below decks. ;D

The submerged tank landing ship (LSST) was sketched in 1955 by the United States Navy's Bureau of Ships (BuShips) for its "dream book." Powered by an S5W nuclear reactor, it would have attained 16 knots in landing trim and 12 knots submerged. It would have carried 500 troops and 500 tons of...

Help! I am confused! What is the difference between the different "Blocks" of MV-22 and CV-22? Are there any visible differences on thew outside of the aircraft? And are Block A, B and C (MV-22) just other names for Block 10, 20, 25, 30 (CV-22)? Anybody who could help` Thanks a lot!

The Garrett Systems STAMP. Does anybody have any information about it?

I came across this neat OSS briefing film referenced in the Wikipedia article on the M29 Weasel. The 10 minute video--worth the wait, I promise--includes some discussion of the various alternative approaches to travel across ice and snow that were evaluated as well as a lot of footage of the...
