there are looot of proyects about space planes, do you think that will be a real market in the future???

one of the most difficult problem (if it isnt the most) is the space (and weight) of fuel, maybe the answer is new fuels with better weight/power ratio, but also the chemicals have their limits

btw, is true that rumor of the space bomber uses for the space shuttle???what you think guys the shuttle was an failure???

If a flying disc had advantages, the skies would be full of them.

hmmmm, well that isnt so true, sometimes the aerodynamics shape-concepts must wait complementary tech (like fbw ,unstable concepts, composites etc…)

jejeje..i have already reached my first 500 messages!!!! a memorable day:D

also we must consider that are designs based on the mig25 or foxbat aero works (like in some famous chinese f16-22 windtunel tests)

yes Mpjay my conection isnt so good :p

well, what about the EF or Rafale??

the russians supplied the migs to china and NK, those 340 are from russian stadistics not are russians piloted planes losses (at the begining of the war the NK air force didnt have any mig15, and the chineses migs grow in an impressive number).

During the war the USAF pilots claimed over 800 enemy planes. Postwar research revised that figure downward to 379, closely matching the admitted Russian losses of 345

i must to explain that serius post war reasearch down the 800 claims to 370, and later with russians estadistics to 340

which pilot claims to revise, so the contemporary numbers stand although known to be generally more than twice as high as can be documented.

is clear the overclaims…

Please do your homework first, before you do al….

Sens dont be ridicoulus…..

Anyway i think that the facts are clear, i know sens that you are an very very biased poster, so i wont waste my time in this endless discussion, you can believe what you want (that fantastic 340+340+50, later changed to NK 150, etc…)

cru, the official claims number in the USAF remain in that 700-800 migs downed (to keep that mith only for propaganda), but post-war studies -confirmed with russian sources- down that number to 340, the 184 planes are the f86s that the usaf maintained after the war in the far east theater

well, 660 planes are arround 700, not??,what you wanted??? the exactly number?? man, i like to read and discuss other things, not only aviation topics…im sure that i read that 700 data at other link/book, research by your self…tsss…

i told you from the start

i know what is the diference between total planes deployed and planes in service in an determinated moment

yes, my english is bad, but i think that was clear…
