  1. The Focke-Wulf 190 was the Raise-the-Stakes Plane for the Luftwaffe . Set everyone else on their Heels for a while . Very Small and Tough . Very Agile and Well Armed . And Very Very Fast . At ALL altitudes .

  2.  @rogernicholls2079  . Umm . Roger , the BF-109 existed LONG BEFORE the Spitfire . The Hawker Hurricane was contemporary with it . And the 309 looks NOTHING like a Spitfire either . Spitfire was ALWAYS , start to finish , a Tail-dragger .

  3. You can see the SAABs in this design . Looks very similar to the Current Grippen .

  4. Very handsome Aircraft for the time . That which inspired the P-38 with Twice the Power .

  5.  @tomas7158  . I know . This DOES look more like the Current Grippen nonetheless .

  9. Short sighted Air ministry . Potentially a better aircraft than the Supermarine Legend . Specified an Engine that didn't EXIST YET . For Fuck Sake !

  10. Considering the SHEER Complexity of a Helicopter's Rotor Hub , and these days , robust construction , I think there is nothing unsolvable to make this WORK . And an Emergency Default setting could probably allow it to GLIDE if needed . Potentially VERY Safe .

  11. The Concept of " Stealth " and " Mach 6 " together is a Non-sequitur . Sonic Profile as big as Mt Everest . Conversation would go thusly , " NORAD , I am currently tracking a Supersonic Bumble-Bee on the following Vector . Uploading now , Over . " " NORAD here . Thank you Big Ear . We'll take it from here . Please continue tracking in case an update is required , Over ." " Roger that NORAD . Wilco . Over " . 🤣.

  12. Another Victim of Unrealistic Expectations and Political Expediency . It FINALLY got the Griffon Engine it was design for , as per Specification from the Air Ministry . That was before the Griffon ACTUALLY EXISTED . martin/Baker got Torpedoed by the British Empire . And Baker payed with his LIFE !

  13. And the Heavy Attack version , The Brasco .

  14. Definitely a Worthy Aircraft to restore and produce a Flying example , or two , of . A CLEAR precursor to the D/H Mosquito AND the B-25 Mitchell .

  15. DIESEL-Punk . And Just Gorgeous . Barely Airworthy , but beautiful nonetheless .

  16. I thought right from the start of that F-16 used Stock OR Saab Gripen new stock . Sweden also being another NEUTRAL nation . Also Saab are VERY amenable to assisting with set-up of infrastructure . Gripen is CHEAP to run and maintain AKA Swedish needs Also specifically designed for Short and Shitty Runways . And for widely distributed Single Plane and back-up crew . You can spread them WIDE and alone . Still within easy range of each other though . Mach-2 capable and well armed . Just a point of view , my Celtic Brothers .

  17. Fugly indeed . Doesn't look like it should Fly at all .

  18. F-15 and 18 are comparable to each other . F-16 not . F-20 was the nearest rival . Designed to lower Spec deliberately . Northrup gets Screwed again .

  19. Very Odd layout for sure , but clearly , from the shown Footage , it was REALLY quite good .
