>>65635881Has anyone else seen this thing in person? It's fucking gigantic.
Rockwell HiMAT
Vietnam-era F-14
X-3 Stilletto
>We need a fighter jet that isn't a real life design but will be recognizable as a fighter.

>>65636345
>>65635883AHEM
>>65635912The Reich wanted to make turbo prop racers?
>>65635881It just needed pusher props.
>>65635883gem.
>>65636153Huge Matsumoto vibes here.>>65636165If there were Arclight craters in the background, there would be heavy Macross vibes.>>65636167Espadon from Blake & Mortimer
>>65636369Man the area 88 manga gets retarded.Call me a pleb but this is why I prefer the OVA.That and the ending
>>65636343Autism - the aircraft
Thank Gerry Anderson's influence on Japanese mechanical designers for making British cold war aircraft retroactively look like some principality of zeon shit
Maybe more wings of the honneamise here
>>65636160
Vic Viper.
>>65637040seen one of these in the Fleet Air Arm Museum at HMAS Albatross (Naval base in NSW Australia). Its even bigger and uglier than the image conveys.
>>65637175Hey, it's the cool kind of ugly like Danny Devito. It's distinctive.Not so much the AEW though, pregnant Danny Devito is too much
>>65637195>pregnant Danny Devitoim having visions of a Junior sequal
>>65637254Now this looks like some Principality of Zion shit
>>65637523It's more like the Fighter Mafia's wet dream, really.
>>65635881
>>65635912neat, but never existed irlBlohm und Voss ftw
>>65638169was gonna post the TSR.2 but forgot about the E.E.surprised the Gloster Javelin hasn't been posted
>>65635912I love that they just straight-up copied that thing for Crimson Skies.
Not to be rude to his fan but the Harrier is like anime-artists wondering"how the fuck do you depict a fighter that take off vertically?""dude just do outlet that point down""I don't know, they look so tiney it's silly""just make the wing point down, it will look like a up arrow and hide them""dang, where do I put the landing gear now? I only have room for one underside""add more on the wing then, baka!"
>Osamu Tezuka designing a future air fighter
>anime parody>no one would ever do that anyway
"cut me some slack, it got wing doesn't it? then its an plane"
"look, I even made one for the supervillain!"
"so silly you'd only see those in a video game"
"the engines are angled because that's cooler, and it land on water because I'm a genius, it can land everywhere"
>>65638303
>>65638303How do you make a TSR2 that can take off vertically.Pic is a model of a real (paper) design for a really,really short roll version.Go to Britmodeller for the rest.
>>65638319Every other goddamn game features the elevator, but imagine the river level in HL2, but you're riding one of these babies instead of the boat.
>>65638360Is that's seriously a VTOL transporter to accelerate another aircraft?...maybe we should just add retractable reactor inside don't you think? just move those air-intake elsewhere.
>>65638360Tf england invented the giant robot boogie board too?
>>65638361Me I'll take the avrocar
>>65638361That's one from Akira, right?
>fuck it, just throw ALL the greebles on itThe AP-2H, one of the most obscure strike aircraft of the Vietnam War. A P-2 Neptune converted to a gunship for use over the Ho Chih Minh Trail. FLIR and LLLTV sensors, two 20mm tail guns, two forward-firing miniguns, waist gunner positions, bombs and downward-firing grenade launchers of some sort (I'm assuming Mk 19s or similar?).Oh, and like all the late-model P-2s, powered by two Wright Duplex Cyclone radials and two Westinghouse J34 jets.
>>65638466talking about integrating the engines inside the structure...The French tried VTOL supersonic beforeI can only imagine how hard it was to pilot without electronic and flight computer.
>>65638303I'm still pissed I didn't win one from pepsi
>>65638626They could have at least done the old mate a solid and gave him a Pepsi MiG
>>65635912Major villain aircraft vibes. This also
>>65636343I'm fucking shocked the XF-85 isn't in a studio Ghibli movie yet. Was expecting to see it at the end of Porco Rosso
>>65637816>tfw you'll never heroically sacrifice yourself so your friends can run away from Tina Turner in one of these.
>>65638516I'm pretty sure that just a Raspi or Arduino with a few attitude sensors would make that thing stable.
This thing. The new Godzilla movie couldn't resist turning it into a jet.
>>65635881>>65636136Is this the one they shipped back to Germany for restoration after decades and the German techs freaked because the explosive charges to jettison the rear for ejection where still intact and armed?
>>65635883I love this cute little fucker.>>65635907RIP, my beloved.
The Italian Barrel
Fokker had some wild designs.
seriously, what were the dudes at B&V taking during the war
>>65639284
>>65639452My fellow flying boats, unless if we let in landplanes our oceanic routes will never survive
>>65638601>We wamt the metal slug miniboss market
flying wings are basically cheating
>>65639464
>>65638626
>>65638663no bet, the answer is always: just let a computer manage controls
>>65638640Like Avanti's evil sibling.
>>65637034Nah that's Feddie stuff, Zeon would never create an aircraft that looks like it can fly.
>>65640015It's the intakes mostly, and the swoopy kind of insectoid look.Makes me think of things like the Gaw.Feddie stuff is usually more angular.Though I do agree it looks far more sane than zeek aircraft usually arw
>>65637034>Thank Gerry Anderson's influence on Japanese mechanical designersCitation required
>>65640122NTA, but Go Nagai was a fan of Gerry Anderson, which is the whole reason why he made X Bomber. That is the best I have.
>>65638466
>>65640122Gerry Anderson shows were imported to Japan basically from the start and were extremely popular. Kawamori, Anno and Izubuchi to name a few that have cited Gerry Anderson works as influential to them
>>65637285I swear to God this looks exactly like the bad guy plane from Iron Eagle 3
>>65638640>>65639980>evilboth these planes are really loud
>>65639284You know what and I know what. We all know what they were taking.Cocaine. Lots and lots of cocaine. Maybe some pervitin too as the cocaine stocks wound down towards the end of the war, although I think by that point everyone was getting in on the pervitin including the Luftwaffe, which would explain why they signed a contract with B&V for 3 prototype models of the P215 in MARCH of 19-fucking-45.
>>65639556>>65639557
>>65635881It's more that old school military otaku were really into kitbashing and experimental aircraft. You don't get something like Royal Space Force or Sky Crawlers. You have the causality backwards; they made anime planes like this because they loved kitbashing and prototype WW2 kits.
>>65641345
>>65636343parasite fighters never took off
>>65641595>t.
>>65638640I've flown in one of these as a kid, I was stoked but it was surprisingly loud in the cabin, wouldn't think that would be the case with the props behind you.
>>65641350HIGH VOLTAGE
Bump for planes
im a defense procurement noob. why are some x planes given multiple iterations up to final sign-off but then dumped for something less cool? why aren't deficiencies and such not recognized in earlier stages of development and canceled at that point?
>>65647549Can you give an example or two of what you mean?
>>65639284They understood the ultimate purpose of military equipment: scale model kits.
>>65635907In the arms of the angels.
Luftkreuzer: Air Cruiser
