This is a rough TL sketch. POD is October 20, 1971. http://www.ffaa.net/projects/jaguar/jaguar_fr.htm That day, off Marseille, the Foch is flight testing Jaguar M05, that is: the navalized fifth prototype. As the aircraft is returned to the hangar for maintenance, one mechanic raise alarm...

We have a whole bunch of threads, alt-history or not. But no full blown TL so far. The POD: May 1972, common sense prevails: Convair Model 200 carries the day over Rockwell NAR-356. It becomes the XFV-12 interceptor for Zumwalt Sea Control Ship. Even after that one is canned, two prototypes are...

the Falklands war occurred in 82 Ark Royal (or another ship of the same class?) was decommissioned in 79 What if they had opted to delay the decommissioning by a few years but then the Falkland war occurred anyways Would the Ark Royal have been sent? would it have contributed differently than...

I need your Advice I working on Story were German history goes little different Here goes Aerospace industry in VTOL with Do-31 and EWR VJ 101 get into service. One of civilian application is a VTOL Business Jet I took the MBB HFB 320 Jet as template With Mass 9600 kg it need around...

In "Storia Militare" n. 196 (January 2010) Enrico Cernuschi described the unknown project of an early Italian helicopter/VTOL carrier of 60's. During 1965 the Italian Navy seriously considered the possibility to modify the proposed second "Vittorio Veneto" cruiser into a sort of small carrier...

Hi, here is some V/STOL and VATOL aircraft concepts, designed at the David W. Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center. NSRDC-79/O74 P PREDICTION OF DRAG COEFFICIENTS OF A SUPERSONIC V/STOL CONFIGURATION WITH VARIOUS STORE ARRANGEMENTS* Tsze C. Tai , Thomas H. Boyd , and Richard E...

Hi, I know we spoke about this aircraft before,but I get a new clearer PDF and I prefer to open a new topic for it,with a clearer artist drawing. http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2140.msg110711.html#msg110711

Hello everybody! I always found the various proposals for the USN "Type" A V/STOL competition fascinating and the Boeing Model 1041-133 in particular. In my opinion the Model 1041-133 with its mechanical driven lift- and cruise fans and variable pitch control system was (and still is) the most...

Good Day All - In the Vought Archives I came across a folder with the title "V/STOL Fighter/Attack Concepts (FAVX)" with copies of overhead vuegraphs from a November 1975 presentation. The effort was a direct result of the U.S. Navy's effort in that time frame for a significant V/STOL...

This YouTube video has some really good footage of Harriers, plus some other aircraft (Sea Vixens - yay!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjRdNwcWsZE I especially like the Sea Harrier in nuclear strike configuration (WE177 and tank) preparing to launch at 20:37 and the 'Captain Pugwash'...

Reading the chapter in TB's new American Secret Projects book on the contenders for the VSTOL USN fighter in the 70s I was fascinated by the lengthy narrative on the Fairchild Republic proposal. No pictures appear, but it seems to resmble a smaller updated version of the company's proposal for...

In Rebuilding the RN Brown notes 'In 1967 consideration was given to a stretched Type 82 to replace the Tiger class as helicopter ships' (DEFE 16/617 (PRO)) Were any drawings made?

Hi, Does anyone know those VTO projects to Rolls Royce ?. Source,flightglobal.
