mikoyan Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 this is the russian eurofighter or ...the eurifighter is acopy
Mustang Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 looks a bit like the 1.42 http://www.globalaircraft.org/planes/mig-142.pl
GGTharos Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 That's like asking wether the Mig-29 is an F-18 copy. ;) C'mon ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
coldcrew Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 somehow you managed to find a really crappy picture of the mig 1.44 http://www.samolet.co.uk/5gen.html
Pilotasso Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 The image on the fist post is very different form the 1.44 .
Dmut Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 it's an experimantal plane, based on Mig-21. you can read about it here - http://www.airwar.ru/enc/xplane/e8.html , Russian language. "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

Kula66 Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Looks quite similar to the Chinese J-10 ... did the Russians sell the plans? Or is it a case of similar problems lead to similar solutions?
hitman Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 anyone remember "Firefox" starring clint eastwood? That plane looks remarkably similar...:icon_axe:
Guest IguanaKing Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Yup. I remember that movie. The one in the picture doesn't have that nice "compression lift" droop to the wingtips though. ;) Firefox kind of reminded me of a scaled-down version of the XB-70.
Starlight Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Looks quite similar to the Chinese J-10 ... did the Russians sell the plans? Or is it a case of similar problems lead to similar solutions? Chinese and Taiwanese aircraft are almost copies and mixes of existing A/C designs. The Taiwanese Ching Kuo is almost a mix of F-20, F-17, F-18, while the Chinese J-10 seems a cut-and-paste of F-16, Eurofighter, Gripen and F-20 (the Gripen itself is also similar to the F-20). That is pretty common, especially where R&D is mainly carried out by agents and not scientists ;)
