Neverending contest (military aviation knowledge)

some Agusta A129 variant?

^^^ Nope.

The aircraft type is not a question, if I'm correct, but the detailed variant is what you need :)

I'm think is ether a Chinese Z-10, Kawasaki OH-1 or a South African Rooivalk

Chinese Z-10...:book: don't tell me, don't tell me, I just got distracted listening to Flea playing bass, hold on :D

It is none of those mentioned above :)

MD 500, any variant..

No.

Nah, can't believe it nobody know it :D It must be some Mi-8/17 variant, I've simply never seen those LCDs, which are the key.

Nope it`s not Mi-8/17 :)

It is the Ansat-2RC cockpit.

^^^ :D true of course

Edit: Guys, i`m gonna start searching for some inhumanly difficult riddles as my last ones are answered too quickly. ;)

What is it and which aircraft was equipped with this device?

P.S. This is a riddle for relaxation purpose before topol-m will show us the best he can.

Wow, it doesn`t look like relaxation to me :)

Edit: Anyone? Any clue about that strange spooky thing that looks like an alien cryogenic sleep chamber?

I knew what this was when I saw it this morning and am surprised it's still open.

B-58A Escape Capsule

http://www.ejectionsite.com/eb58caps.htm

Bailout at Mach 2 (about 1400 miles per hour) can be hazardous to your health. The windblast can tear your helmet off and send your arms and legs flailing helplessly. At high altitudes ( above 40,000 ft ) the air is too thin to support life. It's cold too, nearly 55 below. So what do you do?

 

America's first supersonic bomber, the B-58A Hustler built by Convair in Fort Worth, Texas, posed just this problem for the three-man crews that flew her. Early production and test airplanes were equipped with conventional upward ejection seats, one for each of the tandem seated crew members.

Side-mounted headrest panels helped hold the crewman's head steady so windblasts would not toss the head about too wildly. Straps attached to hands and feet automatically tighened on ejection to minimize arm and leg flailing. Those measures helped, but were not really much protection at Mach 2. More was needed.

You are up Hajduk Veljko

How about this airplane:

^^^ It is military right?

Edit: Umm dude, the name of the aircraft can be seen in the name of the file. :(

Hajduk, you linked directly to the photo and it has the name in the link. Here is the original article

http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/02/26/323070/picture-serbias-lasta-95-trainer-makes-first-flight.html

Try reposting a photo to a service like Photobucket and changing the name.

To Hajduk:

Noch einmal, bitte ;)

So easy, yet nobody guessed the name yet? :smilewink: Just kidding ...

Ohh, well ... I am obviously not good in hiding "secret" airplanes names. :pilotfly:

Lasta-95 :P :D

Here's one for you: Name the engine in this airplane or guess the nationality of the student :)

Ikarus Aero 2 with Walter Minor 6-III engine?

Edit: Yugoslavian/Romanian/Gipsy/Indian student?

:surrender: how did you manage to guess the engine without guessing the correct airplane :doh: It's actually a Zlin-526. Very rare with that engine..

Here's a clue about the student (you win anyway, but just for fun): one of the airplanes on the previous page was sold to this country :)
