Fighter of the Day

We're talking a half century year difference in time here people. This is just silly

[TheBlackOut 7]

 

That can easily own a F-12.

[Luk3us 63]

Pff, the oldest and by far the most superior plane ever created...

it real, its just that the chinese governments doesnt say it exists yet

 

Ohhhh I see. Just like American 'Black Projects' right?

 

yeh the Aurora being one of them anyone have any pics of the Aurora?

[BWare 0]

Since its very existence is questioned, and all information about it- especially pictures- is highly, highly classified, no. No we don't have pictures of the freaking Aurora project.

[Alphabear 11]

this one?

although the photo could be of any number of planes

[Cygnus X-1 12]

/ 1st one is forrbiden access

 

this plane will pwn all

 

[TheBlackOut 7]

We're building auroras? :|

[Cygnus X-1 12]

/ something of that nature yes. Nothing like the Generals ones though

[Masked Shah 5]

Pff, the oldest and by far the most superior plane ever created...

 

 

 

Air raid sirens blare as the small plane takes flight. Shodirkadirka men, women, and childern run for cover... rebel soliders brace for impact.

 

The bomb shelters are crammed with people, many run to the tunnels nearby. RPGs rocket and zoom nearly hitting the paper device of their doom. The plane slowly glides into the sand and rebels aproach the small white sheet...

 

A large mushroom blasts eminates in the city of the city... sending rebels flying...

 

Minutes pass before people reemerge from shelters and caves, continuing their daily lives...

i dont see why they couldnt turn it into a bomber it would save many a pilot's lives on bombing missions since it couldnt be shot down cause no one culd see it or track it as it wuld be moving to damn fast

[Alphabear 11]

actually the schematics i posted there are supposedly ment to be for a bomber varient NASA was looking into

[Mario 0]

why would nasa be looking at it? they deal with space exploration not warfare thats the job of the U.S Military

[Cygnus X-1 12]

any bomber that travereses through space to get to its target and save on fuel (contemporary aurora) NASA would have a small stake in.

 

As it is, simply making an aurora "invincible" is harder said than done. The F-22 is versatile enough as it is, a strike bomber variant is prob the next step. In the meantime, B2 and B1 will cover nicely. As for an aurora type bomber, Im thinking technology testing platform more than actual strike bomber, but it wouldnt be bad thing to have.

Which is basicly what the JSF is.

nasa means national air and space administration :roll: how many noobs want to deal with a marine (me) who's mom is a physics teacher

 

edit: astronomy and physics

[Alphabear 11]

your point is?

[(ha) crazy 0]

mpi i know this stuff i didn't get a masters degree in aeronautical engineering for nuthin u know

 

 

damn keyyyboard

[Cygnus X-1 12]

oh hmm...dumb keyboard eh...LEARN HOW TO TYPE !! :wink: jk

 

JSF = STOL variant of F-22, not as invincible in combat. F-35A is the USAF and Export verion, F-35B is the VTOL version, this is the one with horrible problems pertaining to engines and budget, F-35C is the carrier launched version.

[Mario 0]

i thought nasa was north american space something and the aurora uses a propulsion called pulse wave detonation i didnt know that had anything to do with space

yeah i know that now but i didnt before

[(ha) crazy 0]

yeah i know that now but i didnt before

 

well now you do jsf c is the v/stol version the b is the carrier version

[Alphabear 11]

No B is the STOVL version

 

 

X-35A CTOL concept demonstrator for the USAF. Configuration 220A.

 

X-35B STOVL concept demonstrator for the USMC and Royal Navy. Configuration 220B.

 

X-35C CV/CTOL concept demonstrator for the US Navy. Converted from X-35A. Configuration 220C.

 

Model 235 Lockheed Martin designation for PWSC production version.

 

CTOL PWSC Baseline production version, for USAF.

 

STOVL PWSC USMC production version with lift fan in bulged area aft of cockpit, shorter cockpit canopy and no bulging of weapons bay doors.

 

CV PWSC US Navy production version, featuring much larger wing and tail surfaces and strengthened landing gear with twin wheel noseleg.

 

(PWSC stands for Prefered Weapons Systems Concept for those who dont know.)
