http://centurychina.com/plaboard/posts/3666505.shtml posted by motif again 😀


… and for my opinion from these picture it seems to be a different engine !
Deino 🙂
Hyperwarp posted another picture of the new nozzle from a profile angle in the pictures and speculations thread. It’s a different nozzle at the very least. Could well be WS-10A.
Can You please give us a link or even upload the picture … I can’t find it ! :confused:
Thanks in advance, Deino 🙂
I wil have to search … give me some time !
Here it is !!! 🙂
… the other picture shows a concept for the improved CH-53X !
I’m not sure if this has already been posted …. found at CMF from “motif”
… maybe a WS-10 ????
Deino 😎
I think there was a picture “posted” in the German ” Der SPIEGEL”:
…. looked very much like the once proposed Sikorsky CH-53X / HTH 😎
I wil have to search … give me some time !
Deino
I saw a Tupolev VTOL project “136” that looked remarkably like those models…
A VTOL project from Tupolev ????? … any more information as I never knew that Tupolev was working on fighter projects (not thinking about the Tu-128 !!!)
Hey Deino, why dont you compile all the drawings that you regularly find into a single super-thread?
Thanks for the flowers :p … but I think there are – esp. here in this tread – some other guys who could do this much better than me ! 😉
… anyway You are right I’m already thinking about a “what-if- and project-page” a long time …. but with two young little girls, my wife and my job …. a day has only 24 hours !!! 😀

that’s just a drawing based on a J-10 picture we already saw (w/o missiles of course)
Huitong is right … but sorry ! Here it is:
Anyone know what this is exactly?
For me it looks like a Saab Gripen from behind … esp. if You take a look at the “part” behind the canopy !!
Just my thoughts, Deino 😮
GAU-12 ???? …. I thought the Mauser Mk.27 cannon was chooser ???
Any information ???
Deino 🙂
These are the latest info I have !!!!
GT003 98+33 01/08/03
GT002 98+32 23/09/03
GT004 98+34 08/10/03
GT005 98+35 14/01/04
GT006 98+36 04/03/04
GT007 98+37 22/04/04
… does anyone know anything about 98+31 ???? :confused:
Deino 🙂
The 98+xx should be renamed to 29+xx in the near future.
No … they will be renumbered as 30+xx !!!!
Regarding the 5th example at Laage :confused: … the two display aircraft at the ILA in Berlin are 98+32 & 98+33 !
Deino 😎
Thanks for sharing with us !!! 😉
Any idea what kind of engine was supposed to power this “monster” ??? … may the AF-41 ???
Deino 🙂
Here you go…the first pic is PV1 and the second TD1. The former has a whats-the-technical-term ‘slits’ on the inlets.
Thank You … but are You sure that there are any chenges !!! :confused:
Best regards, Deino 🙂
… and different inlet design.
Is there a clearer picture of that changed design anywhere ???
Deino :confused:
Sorry to arrive late on this thread, but the scanning and emailing took time. I tried to send to the concerned parties, but some came back bounced.
Dieno, the twin fin fighter is a HF73? It looks different in the diagrams given by HAL to Vayu. (Check mail, you would hve got the complete article by now).
I am attaching the 3 view diagrams that appeared in the article here.
-Jagan
Thanks a lot !!!
Very interesting concepts and studies … esp. as “Your” HF-73 looks quite different with it’s single tail and lower wing setting !!
Do You have some more “Indian concepts and studies” esp. some which led to the LCA ????
Thanks in advance, Deino 🙂
