this thread about ACTUAL planes or fantasy crap?http://www.vectorsite.net/avhe162.htmlThe He-162C and He-162D got no farther than a half-completed prototype that could be fitted with interchangeable forward-swept or back-swept wings, discovered by the Allies when they occupied the plant at Schwechat. In fact, the only advanced variant of the He-162 that was actually flown was the "He-162E", which was an He-162A fitted with the BMW-003R mixed power plant, which was a BMW-003A with an integrated BMW-718 liquid-fuel rocket engine for boost power. At least one prototype was built and flight-tested for a short time.

Look mah, it can shoot out of its front, back and arse as well!

its got two rotors, thats ugly IMO. Takes away from teh elegence of teh body design.
It can fly without its tail, beat that.SonderKommando wrote:

I actually really really liked Boeing's JSF entry. Supposedly it exceeded Lockhead Martin's design in performances as well, but was deemed to 'unconventional' by the military top and budgeteers.Boomerjinks wrote:

I love the little bird... That must be a BLAST to fly.

they chose the F-35 over the Boeing version, because the people actually making the Boeing version didn't have an efficient way of going from VTOL mode to flight mode.Lai wrote:

That thing is massive... but the An-225 is comparably awesome.
However, if youre after big aircraft, check out this heli:

I must say the "proof that with big enough engines even a brick can fly" was first dubbed upon the mighty F-4. Ugly as a fucking bowling shoe, tbh.

It's hard to beat the glide ratio of the space shuttle though, now that is a brick with wings!
I'm thinking about going for one of these:
Pick up seriously lost people in peacetime and pilots sans aircraft in wartime--sounds like a good mission.

Long fence is long?
IIRC, most jet airliners can glide rather well...burnzz wrote:

(relative to thinks like fighter jets)
Passenger jets have a glide ratio of between 10:1 and 30:1.
