P-39 by
Bob M.
I have read that the usefulness of the Bell P-39 was greatly decreased
by certain decisions made by the USAAF before it went into production
in the 1930s. Chief among these was the deletion of the
turbosupercharger, but the shortening of the wings also had an effect.
The question is, just how much...

Tankers - 767 or 7E7? by
Tony
I have been wondering why the Air Force doesn't look to buy tanker versions
of the 7E7, rather than 767s? From what I've read, the discounted price of
a 7E7 to the airlines will be under $100 million, possibly well under. So a
100 of them would cost less than the $10 billion being cited as the...

Shuttle over Texas by
Nolaminar
I saw the TV of the investigation and saw the result when the foam was fired at
the left leading edge. The skin around the hole appeared to be rather thin.
Perhaps a type of Carbon Fiber? Would anyone know, in simple terms, the Leading
edge construction? Does anyone know if tiles are at the...

earliest turbine powered helicopter? by
Charles Gray
When was the earliest turbine powered helicopter? I khnow that the
turbine is far more effective than an IC engine.
Also, what was the delay? Was it just a matter of nobody really got
around to it, or were there power/reliability issues with the
turbines?

This day in 1944: Bastogne resupplied by
ArtKramr
We flew 2 missions that day. The sky was black with our planes. The USAAC was
flying 11,000 missions a day. And the sky was packed with what seemed to be
hundreds of C-47's dropping thousands of cargo chutes into Bastogne loaded with
food, ammo, clothing, weapons and medicines. We later ;learned...

BOB URZ
How long does it take to deploy a new design now?
Not just approve it, Not just build a few and test them, but
get them into the field and operational squadron operations?
The F22 has been going on how many years now?
And how about the F35? When do you think we will see
operational front line...

Will EF-2000 and Rafale end up using shared systems? by
muskau
Hi,
Since apparently both EF-2000 and Rafale have had budgeting troubles, will
companies like Dassault and Bae end up developing systems for both planes
and sharing the cost of development?
This may have already started happening but I don't keep up to date with
military economics news.
Thanks,

Aircraft Id needed from newsgp experts! by

Hi! I'm trying to clear up an argument about the first military jet
aircraft to land in Gander Newfoundland.
According to "official history", it would seem that the first jet was an RAF
Canberra in 1951 (I remember going to see it as a very young boy!) However
I have come across a photo of an...

In the first scenes of the movie the pilots are training in Czechoslovakia
before the German invasion. Several of the aircraft are clearly Bucker
Jungmann types but there is another that is different. The...

Attaboy for Houston Bowl flyover by
John Carrier
My hats off to the reserves that performed the flyover for the Houston bowl
Tuesday afternoon. While the stadium design allowed only a couple seconds
of viewing, the tailgaters got a great show. Nice overlap and a solid
symmetrical diamond.
