Prototypes/Theorhetical/shit that barely looks like it can fly.
>>65378054If I had to fight in that thing I would be praying to get shot down to save myself from embarrassment.
>>65378054That's entirely fictional
>>65378054"Jean, what if vertical landing , but with baguette engineering?""Pierre, you are le genius, let us do it."Bloated hon hon hon aircraft ensues.
>>65378054>posts a completely fictional thing when he could post ANY of the Blohm & Voss projects
>>65379034The French imitate nobody, and the Americans imitate the French.*distant honhons*
>>65378054Asymmetric aircraft are the best, but sadly most designers are too smoothbrained for them.
Just a reminder that Microsoft are porting Crimson Skies to PC. That is all.
>>65379110Technically, tons of single engine propeller planes have asymmetrical tails to counteract the torque.
>>65378054>We Muad'Dib now...and it was only 1916.Strangely enough, this thing actually fly.. of sort. For couple of seconds and crashed, but still it went of the ground
>>65379183That's minor.Do any of them have their center of thrust as far above their center of mass as the A-10? I don't think so.
>>65378054
>>65379186Can they make it with carbon fiber or something?
>>65379200Most flying boats do.
I present to you Heliblade, a French solar-powered, high altitude pseudo satellite rotocraft.
>>65379227I have hard time processing the angles and perspective here
>>65378054Exactly how much acid were German aircraft designers taking in WW2?
>>65379489This is neat.
>>65379489Are the connectors between the main body and the blades solid or something flexible?!
>>65379550I dont blame you
>>65380063Pretty sure they are basically just cables.
>>65378939The USP Talon sucks. Get the time-travel Stalker with the SDF Main Gun instead. Hell, the SuperCarrot has better ryzz.
>>65379110You'd like Burt Rutan
>>65380890A reminder that Richard Vogt, B&V's chief designer, moved to America after the war and Burt Rutan was getting educated and starting his career while he was still active not far from where Vogt lived and later retiredThere is a very real chance these men met
>>65380890Movie prop. Had Arnie in it. Something th day.
>>65380893
>>65380898VTOL supersonic prototype, could taxi at a push.
>>65379186It's basically what, an ornithopter?
>>65380924The Sixth Day. Very mediocre movie, very nice prop.
>>65379643meth not acid
>>65378939I love this fucking thing like you wouldn't believe. I wish it was real.
>>65379034>>65379092My ancestor.>never made a successful flight
>>65379643It's mostly Bloehm and Voss.
>>65380944>>65381031Oh shit, I didn't realize someone had already posted the XFV-12. It's a shame it never worked, because it's a very cool-looking design. Wish it would get some fictional love so more people knew about it.
>>65381031Why does this plane have a prolapsed anus?
>>65381052I feel like it'd be at home in some Crimson Skies thing set in the jet era, as heretical as that sentence is.
>Angry tea sounds
A weird plane thread without FRANCE? We have to fix this!
>>65381444Other countries considered dogfighting to be a joust but the French decided it would be fencing.
>>65380864I want you to know you reached 100% of the audience of /k/ users who have played Tyrian 2000, so well done.
DFW Floh, unsuccessful WW1 prototype, mainly because the pilot couldn't see shit while landing.
>>65382092at first glance I thought this was gonna be the Christmas Bullet
>>65381444>>65379034 and >>65379186 and >>65379489 and >>65380389 are all France
>>65380948>It's basically what, an ornithopter? Yup.
>>65382230theres even more weird shit about cold war french if you look into it
>>65381039Man that looks sexy.
Peak kino design
>>65382316>Okay mister Lippish we need you to make a plane>No problem, I think I have just what you n->It needs to be jet powered>Oh! Cool I've always wanted to use one of those Jum->But none of the jet engines we have right now, you'll have to design one>But...?>Oh and it can't use avgas>Thank god for kerosene!>No kerosene either, figure something out!>What sort of weapons do you want on it?>We cannot spare any>2 months later>COAL PELLET POWERED RAMJET DORITO PLANE DESIGNED TO RAM INTO AIRCRAFT TO DESTROY THEM
>>65382316>cockpit canopy does not seem to have any opening mechanismHow the poor bastard slash pilot get inside?...and, taking into account who, when and where designed that... apparatus, I guess the question of how the occupant can escape that contraption in case of some troubles while in air is kinda silly one, right?
>>65382316>>65382354Carp streamer.
>>65382261I very much enjoy how erotic the Griffon becomes once you cant the cockpit and nose along the vertical.
>>65380890This was planned as an A10 light. It had a 25mm gatling cannon on the right hand side of the fuselage. Thats why it was built asymmetrical in the first place - the shield of the fuselage prevents the turbine from ingesting the propellant gases of the cannon and stalling out, which was and is a major headache in the A-10 Thunderbolt.
>>65382316I didn't even notice the cockpit was at the back because I kept looking for it at the front. It would be pretty weird to see your entire "jet" from the cockpit.
>>65382397Most planes fear FOD and bird strikes. That fucker sought them out.
>>65382397
>>65378054>this is my Veeblefitzer, it fitzes veebles
>>65380890 Looks better in black.
>>65382397:^O
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>65381039>Ordinary German Engineer: "OK, so this is what an aircraft looks like">Blohm snorts a line while Voss slams another syringe, before they both say in unison: "Yeah . . . but that's no fun!"
>>65381064>NAVY

>communism will win when submarines fly
>>65387679THERE ARE HALF DOZEN OF USHALF DOZEN!
>>65387970
>>65381039>what if 109 but bigGenius design
>>65388295I fully support any aircraft developments that usher us into the Ace Combat timeline.
>>65385844Who has the TDP for that? Imagine dronified Thunderscreeches 24/7/365 over Russian lines, creeping slowly but certainly towards Moscow and Petersburg, bringing the war home to the Ruskies.
