Deino,

This looks like it’s from a Chinese aviation magazine published in the PRC, ‘Aviation World’. I would agree with Multirole that this could be one of those J-9 variants.

From the Tintin Comics come the Carreidas 160. Wikipedia enty on the Carreidas 160 states that there were radio controlled and free flight models which were flown which demonstrated the soundness of the design. As for the marquette/model of the Carreidas 160.

How about some designs (very sci-fi) from the Anime world,starting with something from Sentou Yousei Yukikaze or Supersylph Yukikaze

and from the Gainax classic, ‘Wings of Honneamise : Royal Space Force

Finally the complete artice … but sadly I can’t read it !

Can anyone translate the part on the naval Q-5B version please ?????

Cheers, Deino 😉

Hi Deino, has been a while since I last did a translation.
The Q-5B is a dedicated torpedo attack bomber developed by the PLN. It differs from the standard Q-5A by having the nose dropped by 5 degrees and the seat raised to increase pilot visibility. In addition, it was retrofitted with a Type 317 fire control radar with terrain following and rear warning capability (doubtful!). It has 2 hardpoints for the ‘Yu-2’ rocket propelled 1000 kg anti-ship torpedo with the Type 45 aiming sight and KJ-45 autopilot. The Q-5B never entered surface because of changes in PLN’s strategy as well as teething problems which were never successfully solved. However this particular confuguration proved that a greater range could obtained by the elimination of the bomb-bay, standard on the Q-5A.

PS : Please PM me!

Elider, thanks for the posts on the Convair 200 and Lampyridae project. Cancelled projects are always welcome in my books. On the topic of cancelled post-war German projects, here’s the Dornier Rautenflugel. The literature says it’s one of the designs studied for the TKF90 project. Anyone knows anything more about this Dornier design and the TKF90 project?

Agent Smith, on the topic of the Q-6, here’s a CGI of the Q-6 from one of those Chinese language boards. Seems to look more like a Mig-23 whilst your pic (scale model at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Museum) seems to look more like a Sukhoi Su-22 Fitter.Any more pics or scale drawings of this exciting project?

On the topic of the J-8II, the last 2 pictures are the prototype for the proposed ‘Peace Pearl’ modifications which were returned to the manufacturer Shenyang Aircraft by Grumman after the cancellation of the project.

And lastly for Deino, a scale model of the proposed J-9 project.

Since we are on the topic of the J-8, I think we should touch upon the topic of Grumman’s Project ‘Peace Pearl’ and the ‘Super 7’. Just wondering if the J-8 would be vastly different if the project came to fruition? Any pics or concept drawings of these 2 projects to share from the trade magazines of that period? I just don’t seem to find any.
