Hey Flyby, just dropping in before sleep. Yea I'm pretty busy with both my occupation and my private businees. I'm a hardware engineer responsible for developing drivers for brushless DC motors. Applications vary depending on clients. I take private orders off work, building just about anything I'm capable of. It won't be much trouble for me to find the info, just need some time to translate.

no problem sir

 

Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, get some sleep man. If you work any harder you'll wind up being Premier. or worse yet, filthy rich!!:lol: I'm already working on my 7th millions $$$ (because the first six millions never happened). Just so long as you can find some PLA gunship links before Black Shark gets published, I'm good.:music_whistling:

Hey Flyby. I've done some search for the WZ-10 and so far there's no material information regarding this confidential project. I do read about some speculations which are not reliable at all. It is said that WZ-10 is modeld after the European 'Tiger', and it's under development at Harbin Aircraft Manufacture Factory (try these coordinates: 45.599011, 126.658292 with google map). Since it's confidential, there isn't much to say about it. Sorry about this bro.

Thanks Alex,

I saw similar info. I guess we'll have to wait and see what developes. I did see where your country has some interesting new fighters; the F10, I think. It's looks are very modern, but I know little about it. Seen a video or two though.

You welcome dude. I've got a couple of friends working at HAMF. Those are Brazilians from Embraer working on regional jet liners (ERJ-145). I met them four years ago when I was a sophomore. Of course they wouldn't have the clearance for the WZ-10 sector, but as long as those choppers go trail flight, they should be close enough to see. Maybe I can get some not-so-confidential news from them. It won't matter much for the security issues.

 

Which USAF aircraft do you like the most?

Posted

Hmmm... Which USAF aircraft is my favorite...? Well, if we're talking BVR, I have to go with the F-15. For WVR I prefer the F16. But that's just this era. If we talk the VietNam airwar era, I like the F8F Crusader. It had guns, and some agility. Plus, I remember the very cool sound they made when they flew past, turning into the pattern (I was on Okinanwa for 22 months, saw the SR-71 while it was still just rumored to be on the island). For WW2 I like the P51B & C with the Malcom hood. Both were faster than the D, and a little lighter.

I think both the Su-27 and the MiG-29 are very formidable in the close-in fight. I recall seeing a program where F-18s were practicing againt German MiG-29s and Fulcrums generally owned them close in. Such a huge thrust-to-weight advantage over the Hornet. Plus the Russian planes have had the off-bore targeting helmut for some time now while the US is just adapting it for use with some of it's planes.

I can't decide which plane is more beautiful when I think of the Flanker and the Eagle. Both just look so "right". The F-16 looks absolutely timeless. :)

In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...

In real life I fly a humble Cessna Hawx XP II with 210 HP :D
