Boberro Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Omg :surprise: LOOL :D Long time ago I saw French "plane", it looks so funny, one big tube with wings ;) Edited September 18, 2008 by Boberro Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 How about An-124. I happened to be inside of the fuselage of the An-124, inspecting some mining equipment cargo in the town of Udachny, province of Yakutia. That airplane is enormously large as well! http://www.airliners.net/photo/Antonov-Design-Bureau/Antonov-An-124-100-Ruslan/0612942/L/ Thermaltake Kandalf LCS | Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R | Etasis ET750 (850W Max) | i7-920 OC to 4.0 GHz | Gigabyte HD5850 | OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 2000 | 2 X 30GB OCZ Vertex SSD in RAID 0 | ASUS VW266H 25.5" | LG Blue Ray 10X burner | TIR 5 | Saitek X-52 Pro | Logitech G930 | Saitek Pro flight rudder pedals | Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
ED Team Groove Posted September 18, 2008 ED Team Posted September 18, 2008 I can't even comprehend this one.:pilotfly: Can this thing supercruise ? Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en
nscode Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 If by supercruise you mean 'fly' - no. :D 1 Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Namenlos Ein Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 On the 11th flight, during a speed test, the port tailboom vibrated, fractured, jammed the elevator and caused the giant aircraft to plough into the ground, killing 15.

SuperKungFu Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 lol hey i also saw this on digg. Cool to see other lock on users on digg. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cosmonaut Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 RCS of this one ? .. even at one quarter scale it would still be the size of a 737 .. :noexpression: . Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. CDDS Tutorial Version 3. | Main Screen Mods.
GTengineer Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 RCS of this one ? about the same as this ..... :D Q6600 @ 3.8GHz, 8GB DDR2-1000, 8800GT 512MB, Vista x64, TrackIR4
Namenlos Ein Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 about the same as this ..... Don't be so sure. K-7 design is almost flying wing. By the way, look on this Convair B-36 Peacemaker 'Tornado Twins' variant.

Namenlos Ein Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) Not big but pure ownage anyway. This is the Caproni Ca.60 Noviplano. It (or she?) crashed in the its maiden flight in 1921. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproni — list of Caproni's aircrafts, some of them looks completely weird, like this Stipa-Caproni. It was not monstrous by the size, it just looks monstrous. http://www.airbornegrafix.com/HistoricAircraft/ThingsWings/StipaCaproni.htm Edited September 19, 2008 by Namenlos Ein

GTengineer Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) Don't be so sure. K-7 design is almost flying wing. You think that makes up for the rest of the airplane? You know like ...... the 6 massive prop engines, the massive struts, and enormous and unretractable landing gears? Forget about B2, we should have used this! That's comedy :laugh: BTW, if you turn the Sears Tower on its side ... it looks almost like a diamond airfoil wing too :megalol: Edited September 19, 2008 by GTengineer Q6600 @ 3.8GHz, 8GB DDR2-1000, 8800GT 512MB, Vista x64, TrackIR4
Cola Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Aviation was so much cooler before they started involving science. :D "Well, ya know, she's not pretty like an A129, but more like an AH-64, you get an instant hard-on when you see her."

But for 1933 K-7's RCS was not so bad, isn't it? Dornier Do.X 12 (!) engines. Edited September 22, 2008 by Namenlos Ein

Namenlos Ein Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_large_aircraft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helistat The PA-97 was built under a 1980 U.S. Navy contract for the Forest Service to demonstrate a heavy vertical air lifter for harvesting timber from inaccessible terrain. The single demonstrator used a Navy ZPG-2W blimp and four H-34J helicopters. The combination of a large blimp with powered lift made the 343 feet (104.57 m) long helistat the largest dynamic lift aircraft in the world.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2668113119001888697 — Helistat disaster.
