I've cut and pasted this from another site
SR.177 is a mixed powerplant interceptor and quite a flexible design to boot.
Japan had a look at it too, and at one point examined weather to buy the SR.53's. and the production jigs.
Had it entered service, its most likely the RAF and RN would...
Following on from UK75's Post on a VTOL Lutwaffe 1975 i was wondering if anybody had the dimensions for the VJ-101 D ?. I can find stuff on-line for the B, C and E but not for the D >:(
(I wasn't sure if this should be included under the Horizon thread, as there were at least 8 projects between Type 42 and Type 45 in the UK alone, let alone any other nations, and Horizon was just one of those)

In "Encyclopedia of Tanks" by Crow and Icks, there are brief details of a series of AFVs on a common chassis. The picture is clearly of the small turret 20mm cannon version, though it is captioned by the arrow as having a 90mm recoilless rifle. Has anyone a picture of the 90mm variant, please...
Sorry for the delay, I was busy with non-aviation things :( . Here are the P xxxx numbers of unbuilt Messerschmitt/MBB projects (mainly source is “Willy Messerschmitt – Pionier der Luftfahrt und des Leichtbaues” by Ebert, Kaiser and Peters/ISBN 3-7637-6103-9):

There is little detail about the MBT-80 a British and german effort to find a replacement MBT, evetually they went their own ways. Any better photos than this out there?
This was a project of the (then) West German Army during the late '80s/early'90s. It was designed for anti-tank and anti-helicopter warfare roles and was based on the hull of the Leopard 1 chassis converted by removing the turret and fitting an elevating arm with weapons/sensors that could reach...
In the late 1980's I remember the West Germans talking about their plans for their next gen of MBT that was going to replace the Leopard 1.
It was called the Leopard 3.
Does anyone have anything in the way of how far this project got - i.e prototype?
is there any art work or drawings or...

Hi Everyone!
I'm very interested in the Grob G850 Strato 2C, (a research aircraft), and I was wondering if anyone had any three-views of this aircraft and if so, could you possibly post them on this website.
I'd like to do some illustrations of this aircraft and possibly a scratch-built model...
Have you ever heard about the Zeppelin/SNCASO ZSO 523?
I´ve been trying to find info about it, but it was very hard, all I have is it was a big aircraft with six engines.
Raravia
A joint US-German VSTOL fighter project. Here we have a 3 view of an early configuration and an isometric cutaway of a later version with modified air intakes.
I forgot Colani designs. So here they are:
1. Cygnus - was projected gigantic passanger plane for soviet airlines Aeroflot from 80s. It was designed for extreme climatic and geographic conditions. It was powered by two bolt - like ducted fans.
2. This is hypersonic Mach 5 passanger plane from...
