I think there is a flying status as a goal…I am not sure whether it is a 452..but one at least.

:rolleyes:

Hmm, i thought the quote went, “The F4 Phantom is living proof that given enough power even a brick will fly”

Saab Draken J-35 was often quoted as flying Flat Iron !

This is interesting…1 hp motorplane in 1932 ?

Dave Morss told me the G4 has now over 400 pmpg.

1432 pmpg is still distant dream but doable..I am sure.

Sorry 27vet…no intention to divert from the subject.

Beech 18 and Locheed 12A were from 1936…2 years after DH89 flew.

All beautiful classics that inspire my design work.

Do you know actually which ac in this size class was the first to be pressurized ?

Pressurisation?

Yeah see aeroplanes need pressurization ovet 20 000 ft.

Sounds a bit like it was not well maintained.

I picked the accident since I have been sketching a bit similarly laid out design for 2 x 100 ULS 912 engines.

There is 10 m2 of solar panels to provide electricity to run pressurization…could that work ? Named after the 4th moon of Jupiter.

I am surprised that SR-71 was on public display in 1974. Were Soviets not allowed in 🙂

Just as much I’m surprised that F-15 and F-16 were on public display in 1976, the year they entered service.

Just seems too early considering the secrecy and heat of cold war. Those were three top aircraft of US air force.

love to see pic like that though!

thanks for posting!

I think Soviets were not allowed to travel abroad in 1976. USSR spies certainly were there…or could have been.

The F-15 was in bicentennial colors and F-16 IIRC ( seemed to have been the YF-17 ). I remember the whole bunch of us were Finnish Air Force employed people…except me…I was accompanied with my dad…I was 14.

This is what I saw; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYM4oDWrcsY

I think the Hawk trainer was in the sight of the finnish pilots then…YF-17 was just fresh proto back then.

Alpha jet was one of the candidates too…and Saab 105.
