Tupolev Tu-91 "Boot"  Russian carrier bomber. That "jet engine" is the 23mm tail gun.

Post by: Furball on October 06, 2008, 05:00:13 AM
Tu-91 it is!

I was reading about turboprop powered combat aircraft and there was a thing about the Tu-91, it was like an IL2 and armoured like a tank.  Would have been interesting in the 'Skyraider' close air support role!

Kruschev didn't like it and wanted missiles instead.

The Tu-91 wasn't a copy of a US plane.  The 2nd picture of the A-2D Skyshark was based on the A-1 Skyraider, a US plane.

I knew armor long before your mommy gave you

"Baby's First Pop-Up Book of Big Scary Machines".

The thread was about German WWII armor. If you wanted to expand it to modern armor, you should have started your own thread. (Good luck with that, since a thread started by "glock89" is pretty much guaranteed little to no visits. You'd probably illicit a more favorable response by changing your name to "syphilis")

After dealing with your juvenile antics and endless spamming, many if not most of us have completely dismissed you. There are some very intelligent people on this forum, and you could learn quite a bit if you would just get a clue and lay off the posts until after your voice changes.

Now, unless you'd like to mow my lawn, I'm done with you.

It's a poem written to identify a 109F from a 109E from a book published in 1941 or '42 called 'The Magnificent Royal Airforce' or something similar.  I can't remember if the poem was written for pilots or ground observers. The book is currently AWOL in one of my boxes of books from when i moved house last year.

To be more specific it's an Australian F-111C. I can tell you a funny story about one of the four we modified into F-111C Recons back in 1978.

Ok.

 My first job right out of school with General Dynamics was sizing structural members for the F-111C Recon camera installation. Basically, we removed the weapons bay doors and replaced them with the recon package and a smaller access door using the existing hinge components.

Anyway, the Aussie's sent us one plane at a time to mod. Once it was complete, they'd return it to service and send another one until all four were done. Well they were REAL protective of their planes and it showed. I'd never seen cleaner, more pampered military aircraft. These things were pristine. Compared to the beat to crap B-52D's we had a Carswell AFB here, with their dents, dings and big rough ugly  fiberglass patches on the wing tips, these F-111C's were beautiful. The Aussie maintenance guys who were on hand really didn't want us touching their planes, considering our guys to be inferior techs.

Well the last of the four planes to be modded was almost complete. It was out in one of the hangers up on the jacks while the hydraulics (or it may have been electrical, it's been a long time)  undergo maintenance. Now the F-111 has a rather weird main landing gear system. It's located in the center of the fuselage, just aft of the wing pivot. The two main gear arms fold together then swing up and forward to stow. There's a HUGE main door that swings down out of the way so the gear can stow. The big door also functions as a speed brake, so structurally it's very stout. When the gear is down, this big door partially closes for clearance when on the ground.

Well anyway, the plane is up on the jacks with the gear retracted and the plane is being powered externally. Work is almost done and the plan is to return to Australia the next day. There's an Aussie tech in the cockpit. Bear in mind that they don't want us touching their airplane anymore than we have to. So the guy in the cockpit goes to cycle the landing gear down and we immediately hear this awful groaning sound. We can see the big main gear door bulging downward. Obviously the sequence is messed up and the gear is trying to lower before the door opens. Now remember this door is also a speed brake; it's Hell for stout and determined to put up a good fight. :lol The groaning gets louder and LOUDER until we hear a loud BOOM followed by a ripping noise. (of course we heard this as we were running away :O) We look back, and can see that the main landing gear had ripped right thru the door, but not before the tires blew. We were all stunned, but the final insult, and what left us all in stitches, was when the remains of the big gear door then swung down beautifully like it should have 10 seconds earlier. :rofl :rofl :rofl

The Aussie's, who had constantly bad-mouthed our maintenance guys, had nothing to say. :D

I did structural analysis/design support for about 21 years. I worked on F-111C Recon, F-111 Pave Tack, F-16 A-D, F-16E/XL, an cheap export version of the F-16 with a J79 engine (a buddy of mine had a patch made for his jacket that said "F-16/J79, The Trailing Edge of Technology" :rofl), testbed variants of the F8U (NASA scissor wing, very bizarre), various missiles for LTV (now Lockheed), and the International Space Station. Now I'm part of IT, supporting the guys I used to work alongside. I make sure their NASTRAN, PATRAN, ABAQUS, etc. functions properly and act as go between with the software vendors. I'm supposed to be the guru when it comes to finite element analysis, but I prefer to spend my time on the AH forum. ;)

As for your plane, it looks like it's based on the F 16... other than that I can't say.

Bosco's is obviously a 5 series aircraft, as evidenced by the obvious presence of a DB605 engine, but I'm not sure which. Without looking I'd say Re.2005.

At second look it's a G.55.

That's not an Re. 2005, the vertical fin is all wrong. It has the tail of a Macchi, but the gear does resemble that of an Re.2005 and not one of the Macchi's. I'm guessing it's an Italian "Love Child".

What was the concept behind using the composite structure?
Evolving technology. It would have been fine except that there wasn't a long established history with composites at that time, so big factors of safety were heaped onto the design requirements which made everything way too thick and heavy. No surprise that when the two that were built went to Edwards for testing that the planes had lousy acceleration compared to the basic F-16. However, they did have a smaller turn radius due to the higher lift of that big wing.

F-16XL (aka F-16E at the time, they subsequently used the "E" for another variant) was originally called "SCAMP" = "Supersonic Cruise ... Hell I forget :D. It was intended as a medium/high altitude interceptor. When the AF showed no interest in that, it was repackaged as a strike/interdiction dump truck just like the F-15E. Pretty silly when you consider that the low wing-loading made for one really bumpy ride down low. The AF was unimpressed and went with the Strike Eagle, a much better platform. If I recall correctly, the XL did have better range though because of all the fuel in that wing.

Funny story:
When the first XL was wheeled out for a photo shoot, they decided to unhook the tractor and tow bar to keep them out of the shot. Well everything about the program was behind schedule, including the radar, so the nose was empty. As soon as they unhooked the tow bar, the plane promptly sat back on it's tail. :lol Well obviously that was no way to take a picture, so eventually they had enough shop guys hanging on the front of the airplane to pull the nose back down. They hooked the tow bar back up and took the pics with it attached.

Let me guess.... Grumman? The same company that designed the plane meant to replace the failed F-111B? That... how was it called.... F-14? :D
Yep,
   Grumman was brought on-board because GD had no experience with "carrier suitability" requirements. What I'm most familiar with is the need for proper carry-thru structure to handle catapult and arresting loads. The load paths on the F-111 are a joke, not a straight line anywhere. ;) The biggest problem with the F-111B was high landing speeds, due in no small part to the extra 4000lbs+ of unnecessary flab contributed by Grumman. I know GD went thru at least two subsequent weight reduction programs on the AF 111's, called "Scrape I" & "Scrape II", and the experienced "stress hackers" I met back then had lots of choice "comments" :D about Grumman's work.
  Don't get me wrong, the F-14 was a vastly superior platform compared to the 111B, all the 111B could do was hurl Phoenix's from range, but many feel the design was undermined at the time.

EDIT

Look what I found.

Confirmation is required that the 'guess' is correct. Not everyone sits at their keyboard 24/7 or are in the same time zone.

Gianlupo should have handed off to Motherland who should post the next ID pic. If he doesn't want to post a new ID pic he should say so, preferably in his 'guess' post, and is open to the first to post a new ID pic.

Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear"

Edit: Removeing my "?".  I'm 99% sure it's a Tu-95 (maybe a Tu-95KM if I had to go for brownie points, looks like it's got recon instruments on it's chin, but not the maritine RTs version, which is more on the belly of the plane right behind it's nose/chin... could be a cruise missile variant.)

It's clearly the same bomber, but the caption doesn't say nothing clear. :P I don't have more spare time, now, I'll try later.

Then why did you claim they hadn't answered you when they obviously had? Nobody's being an bellybutton to you, you're doing quite a convincing job of making an bellybutton out of yourself. If you don't believe me, go look at the typical response to most of your posts.

Now stop complaining about images being posted before the previous one is identified (something you just did yourself with that pic of the ponies) and tell me what this is?

Good job, Cthulhu!

Glock, that's a German Mistel, with a Bf-109 as guide plane and a Ju-88 as gliding bomb.

Rich, I don't know if that's what you mean, but the C-27A/J Spartan is a derivation of the Italian G-222, a transport airplane. The first examples should have been delivered in September.

EDIT: Geez, Cthulhu, stop living on that keyboard and go to work! :D

No. I didnt even know we were taking on a new Euro plane. I was remembering, oh bout '79, coming out to the flightline overseas and seeing the strangest looking airplane I ever saw. It had USAF markings, and I guess it had come in overnight. Anyway I beat feet, "Love aircraft", to ask some gear-heads what the heck it was. They told me it was a B-57 Canberra and one of the last still serving. At the time Iran was hot as a firecracker and we had all kinds of spyplanes around. I was told the B-57 was tricked out for ocean reco. Anyhoo I was able to see one of the last, if not the last, Canberra on active duty. I believe the Canberra flew in anger in the Falklands and for sure the Indo/Pako wars. It also flew in anger in Vietnam.

Later in life I found out it was one of two foreign designed airplanes we have flown. Along with the Harrier.  :salute

Was a difficult one, i have a book called Last Talons of the Eagle where it talks about all the German crazy planes - i think it was mentioned in there.  Not many had the Argus engine, so it narrowed it down for me.  The only other one i could think of was the Fieseler FI 103R - piloted suicide bomb, and it looks too engineered to be that.  Good one though  :aok

No idea...  Miles M4 Merlin?

I am thinking it may be a Miles or Percival... But the tail doesn't look right for one of those, so i am probably very wrong. :confused:
Title: Re: What aircraft is this?
Post by: Charge on October 21, 2008, 03:17:55 AM
Indeed. Maybe some early Miles Falcon prototype? The cockpit style is certainly the same as in Merlin and Falcon but the tails are different in both of those.

However the proportions suggest it is quite a small airplane (note the hump in the cowling).

-C+

Ed. Then again, the tail looks French....

Unless it was captured and used as a squadron hack.  The RAF used many German aircraft during the war.

I do suspect it is French from wmaker's hint above tho ;)

Glock, FYI France was the major aircraft producer in the early days of aviation.  At the outbreak of WWI in 1914 IIRC less than 100 Americans actually held a pilots license, whereas it was very popular in europe and especially France.

France is not a "minor" aircraft producer which Gian hinted at, not now, not when that picture was taken.

Actually what sealed it was the rounded vertical tail and the elongated nose. Once I stared long enough at the rudder and realized there was a triangular portion forward of the hinge line, it got easier.

Yeh, thought about that too, btw...also thought that the fact that horizontal stab is white and the rudder is deflected it might make things more difficult. looking at it straight from the side that tail looks VERY British! :)

"looking at it straight from the side that tail looks VERY British!"

Indeed. No Russian plane had such rounded leading edge. Suppose it wasn't their style.

But the engine compartment shape got me thinking. Nice one!  :aok

The contours of the cowling are pretty similar with the company's later fighter aircraft.

I dont know of any fighter aircraft that have a cowling like that... The cowling does resemble that of the Ju-52, but for some reason to me this bird looks like an Arado...

Sounds like you have Ar 196 on the brain. Build too many Bismark models as a kid? :)

Here's a weird coincidence. The captain of HMS Seal, a British mine-laying sub, surrendered his sub to an Ar 196 during the war. The captain had the unhappy distinction of being the only British commander to surrender his ship to the enemy in the entire war.

To me it looks like a Focke Wulf... :) and without checking (I'll do it later), I'd say this is the biplane fighter FW presented at the selection won by the Messerschmitt Bf-109...

Ok, bad guess... it's not the FW 159.... :cry

Heh, nothing comes to mind right now that couldn't be found out in 5 minutes using Google. :) I remember reading something about the Finnish Air Force's pilots' experiences with the type but nothing exact comes to mind.

Well here's something...

Why is the following bit (at least in my opinion) slightly misleading?

"Only three of a planned total of 25 from the original French order were sent to Finland, and these were not taken into service until the Winter War 1939-40 with the Soviet Union was over. Deliveries to the Armee de I'Air started in February 1940,..."

The pic is of the one and only prototype of that model that was abandoned after a few tests near the ground.  The one and only FI 184 prototype caught fire in 1936.  They were meant to be used by the German Navy for recon and anti-submarine capabilities.

Are you referring to the fact that it was built in Finland by Valtion Lentokonetehdas at Tampere, using many components from Yugoslavia? Because from any other point of view, it is a Blenheim....
Title: Re: What aircraft is this?

As originally built, it was called something else than a Blenheim...

And if the airframe in the picture is really the original BL-200, is even more complicated issue.

Well, I couldn't find a different designation... and all around the web they say it is a BL-200... so, share with us, what's the rest of the story? :)

Cthulhu.... I must have a talk with your wife.... you think too much about weird airplanes! :devil
Title: Re: What aircraft is this?
Post by: gripen on November 07, 2008, 04:46:02 AM
These long nosed airframes were originally built by Ikarus as the Ikarus B-4. Some information here:

http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/2008/05/20/ikarus-blenheim-b-4-in-finland/

But the story is even more complicated than that; Ikarus had obtained license only for the Mk. I and produced these. Once information about the Mk.IV became available, they asked the license for that variant but initially England refused. But that did not stop Ikarus, they started to design their own Mk. IV look alike based on available knowledge (photographs etc.) and later England also sold the real plans for the Mk. IV. These airframes, which were almost completed 1941 when Germany attacked, were designated as the Ikarus B-4 and have some features of Mk. I, some Yugoslav origin features and something from real Mk. IV as well. When finished in Finland these got some features from Finland like wooden propellers etc.

The identity of the BL-200 in the FAF museum is also still somewhat unclear. It is known that at least two Blenheims were replaced (BL-106 and BL-197) with completely new airframes during the service after the war to avoid the license fees. The strange thing in the history of the BL-200 is that after the war it was stored long time and then taken to the overhauls. After the overhauls it entered service as a zero flight time airframe. So the question here is what happened in the overhauls; it's possible that large part of the original airframe were replaced with new parts but so far definite documentation has not been found.

I havent read this whole thread so this one might have been posted. I found this while googleing.


(http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/24/1013733/aplane.jpg)

On the Bell Aerocuda - it has design features I want. Like - NO FAULT TOLERANCE.

"The Airacuda was also saddled with a complex and temperamental electrical system and was the only aircraft ever built to rely on an independent auxiliary power unit (APU) to power both engine fuel pumps, as well as all aircraft electrical systems.[7] Systems usually powered by an aircraft's engines were instead powered by the single generator. The generator, with its own supercharger, was located in the belly of the aircraft. In the event of a failure (and they occurred frequently), the crew was instructed to begin immediate emergency restart procedures as the aircraft basically shut down. When the APU failed, the pilot had "NO fuel pressure, NO vacuum, NO hydraulic pressure, NO gear, NO flaps and NO ENGINES"

Kinda reminds me of the Diamond Twin Star with the dual FADEC. Low voltage on 1 bus, Sinara to the FADEC - and goodbye to BOTH engines.

Also known as the Goodyear Inflatoplane:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_Inflatoplane


Although it seemed an improbable project, the finished aircraft proved to be capable of meeting its design objectives although its sponsor, the United States Army ultimately cancelled the project when it could not find a "valid military use for an aircraft that could be brought down by a well-aimed bow and arrow."

"The test program at Goodyear's facilities near Wingfoot Lake, Akron, Ohio showed that the inflation could be accomplished with as little as 8 psi (544 mbar), less than a car tire. The flight test program had a fatal crash when Army aviator Lt. "Pug" Wallace was killed. The aircraft was in a descending turn when one of the control cables under the wing came off the pulley and was wedged in the pulley bracket, locking the stick. The turn tightened until one of the wings folded up over the prop and was chopped up. With the wings flapping because of loss of air, one of the aluminum wing tip skids hit the pilot alongside the head (marks on his helmet proved that). Wallace was pitched out over the nose of the aircraft and fell into the shallow lake. His chute never opened. Only 12 Goodyear Inflatoplanes were built, but development continued until the project was cancelled in 1973."

Title: Re: What aircraft is this?
Post by: lowZX14 on November 25, 2008, 12:11:16 PM
Woohoo you got it.

The L-3 series were adapted from Aeronca's pre-war Tandem Trainer and Chief models. The L-3 was initially designated the O-58 at the time it was first ordered by the Air Corps. It was also known as the "Grasshopper" which would have been the first hint.

The Champ was first flown in 1945
The Super Chief in 1945
The Chief in 1938
The L-3/O-58 in 1941

The Chief would have been closer because it was adapted from the Chief and Tandem Trainer models.

I'm afraid this new twist to the game isn't gonna work, Bat, at least if we don't post well know aircraft. Specifications may vary according to sources (performance) and exact model of the plane you're posting (dimensions, engines, armament).

But think what would have happened if I had posted the specifications for the Payen, instead of a picture! And think about the oldest plane, in some case, probably, you can find only partial specifications, if any. As I told you, I'm afraid this kind of game can work only with better known planes. Anyway, post another one and let's see if we can get it! ;)

Not at all. It depends on where you take the specs. I just made an educated guess, basing to the specs in Wikipedia, that, as you can see, are different from the ones you posted:

    * Crew: one, pilot
    * Length: 9.95 m (32 ft 8 in)
    * Wingspan: 10.80 m (35 ft 5 in)
    * Height: 3.94 m (13 ft 0 in)
    * Wing area: 20 m˛ (216 ft˛)
    * Empty weight: 2,839 kg (6,259 lb)
    * Loaded weight: 3,482 kg (7,676 lb)
    * Powerplant: 1× Mitsubishi MK4U-4 Kasei 26a 14-cylinder radial engine, 1,358 kW (1,820 hp)

Performance

    * Maximum speed: 615 km/h (382 mph)
    * Range: 560 km (348 miles)
    * Service ceiling 11,250 m (36,910 ft)
    * Rate of climb: 1,170 m/min (3,838 ft/min)
    * Wing loading: 174 kg/m˛ (35 lb/ft˛)
    * Power/mass: 0.39 kW/kg (0.24 hp/lb)

Armament

    * 4 × 20 mm Type 99-2 cannon in the wings, two in each wing, approx 200 rpg.
    * 2 × 60 kg (132 lb) bombs or 2 × 200 litre drop tanks.

N1K1-J specs, for example where really similar.. the ones I found simply differed less from the ones you posted. Don't take me wrong, Bat, it's fun even in this form, but I'm afraid that it's too open to mistakes, given that specs are often discording, or not exactly matching. I still think it's better to use pictures.

EDIT: yep, what Milo said, too. Try with some more obscure plane from the '20s or the '30s and you'll see.

Don't think so.

This is a CC:

Notice it actually has a rear fuselage, not to mention a completely different tail. (Is that a headlight??)

Hint...you're wrong. :)

Villish VM-1 circa 1914-1915 somewhere around there.

It's Russian, not German.

I sort of cheated. I was thinking Otto Pusher but knew the tail was wrong. So I sent it to a squad mate who use to be the aircraft historian for Boeing. He identified it in 30 seconds.

Let's try this one if you gentlemen don't mind.

It should be fairly easy though.

Grumman AF-2A Guardian.

Technically the front one with the radar dome is an AF-2W.

No help needed on that one.
