Introduce Yourself

Hello All. I'm a US Navy vet. My rate was Aviation Fire Control Technician 1st Class. I worked on the A-6E TRAM/STARM Intruder and spent three years as a flight deck troubleshooter for VA-115. We were forward deployed to Japan and the only squadron in WESTPAC to include STARM Intruders. During my tour we had two successful AGM-78 MISSILE-EX launches.

I'm a researcher and author of rocket and missile scale articles and editor of my sections newsletter, Total Impulse. I found this site while researching the Bendix/Grumman AAM-N-10 Eagle air-to-air missile. There's great material here and appreciate the members that contributed information on it.

Hi, Alistair from the UK. Joined to be able access images and ideas as I've been 3D modelling and printing some UK never made planes. Image attached of a current work in progress the "Design with engines in nacelles" from the RAE paper, An Investigation into an Aircraft to Fly at a Mach Number of 2, Aero.2462 that led to the drawing up of the Bristol 188

Nice. Here's the same RAE design with various armament options from AVIA 06 19287 (Defence against Bombers by Mach 2 fighters). And welcome :)

Why Russia’s latest cargo airship project is not just hot air

A Russian engineer has designed a next-generation, safe, environmentally-friendly cargo airship to rival current lighter-than-air (LTA) commercial aircraft

Hi Sergei...welcome aboard !

I study fluid dynamics and mechanics at the moment and constructing a third vertical axis wind mill prototype.

After that I will try to build a solar powered AC.
 
Hi everybody,

I am a theoretical physicist working in defense. I am eager to learn about new technologies. I hope in a fruitful exchange in this site.
 
Hello dears,

My name is Sebastian, I live in Argentina and I'm 45 years old. I am very interested in the secret projects of the US and the USSR during the cold war, especially the planes that never were.

I hope to contribute with information on the many aeronautical projects of my country that failed to materialize
 
Greetings,
I am happy to now be a part of this group. I look forward to conversations and the sharing of ideas and gaining insights to lost projects, good or bad. I am a 20+ navy vet with a long history in weapons, tactics, and study. I am finishing up my masters in this field. You will likely be shocked to find that I am an avid building of military models and military researcher.
Again, I look forward to my experiences here.

Hello!

I've stumbled upon this group while looking into some post WW2 era planes. I look forward to learning about lesser known projects and its related discussions. While I don't have any past service history, I do take a lot of time studying and reading upon materials with great interest.

To put it short, I am simply an enthusiast from South Korea looking to learn more about past projects that never ended up being popular or known.

Welcome Mike! I’ve enjoyed your writing for a long time and am glad to have you aboard.

Wow. I'm glad somebody reads it. No secret projects in my writing, I'm afraid. Only obscure ones.
 
It can be. The F-4G Wild Weasels were dedicated radar killers, and all of the backseaters were EWOs. We went through a special school with no windows and a lot of study demands. Obviously, the subject matter included a lot about radars (hence my interest in Overscan's Guide). In addition to the academics, we had live low-level flight and electronic warfare simulators for the RC-135, EF-111A and B-52. Later on in the F-15E, I ended up learning a lot about the systems on the Eagle airframes, and I was able to introduce two new capabilities into the European jets.
