On the topic of cancelled projects, any has a pic of the proposed ‘Super 7’ or ‘Peace Pearl’ which has been touted to be the predecessor of the JF-17/FC-1? I recall seeing several artist’s impressions of it in the trade journals in the late 80’s and in a weekly aviation supplement called ‘Take Off’.

Novi Avion – 4th gen fighter jet being designed by Yugoslavia, cancelled when country broke up. Looked exactly like a single engined Rafale.[/QUOTE]

A page on the Novi Avion which is dubbed as ‘Mini Rafale’ (in simplified Mandarin fonts) is available at http://www.afwing.com/intro/novi.htm

Swiss Piranha – don’t know anything about this.[/QUOTE]

Would like to know more about this too but apparently there is a Polish project by some institute called Piranha too. See http://www.powiat.mielec.pl/poser/samoloty/pozostale2/pirania.htm

Kobra 2000 – fighter jet being designed by Poland in the early 90’s, cancelled in early stage of development. Looked like an F-16 except with a big wide intake on top. If anyone knows more about this please share.[/QUOTE]

A pic of the Kobra 2000 can be seen at http://www.powiat.mielec.pl/poser/samoloty/pozostale2/kobra.htm
Personally, I prefer the PZL-230 Skorpion.

Always enjoy these posts on project or paper ‘aircraft’. Should we start a sub-form on this. Deino and Erez, your comments please.

Hmmm 😉

aerospacetech,

did the pics of the J-10 VG Project come from Air International Magazine or did it come from some specialist publication?

Thanks
