Re: Aircraft Recognition
Slightly, wont stay its a total Chinese style rip off
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Interesting question. I don't think there is great similarity, but all aircraft of a particular era with similar roles ended up looking somewhat similar because they incorporated what was thought in that era to be the best for that role...except that China came up with that design 20 years after it had been flying
Other somewhat similar aircraft are
BAC TSR-2
North American Vigilante

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Shiv sir,
while what you have said holds true for the jaguar and the above 2 aircrafts, which were designed in the same time frame, the JH-7 is much later after the jaguar, which is the youngest of above three aircrafts.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
True - but in terms of physical resemblance the Jaguar has a very characteristic side profile where the tail is seen to extend well behind the exhaust pipe. That difference is immediately noticeable in the side view of the JH-7, which is why I think the JH-7 looks much more like the other aircraft whose pics I posted.Bala Vignesh wrote:Shiv sir,

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Imho Jaguar tail layout is very similar to that of F-4 Phantom.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Chinese ACs as usual have followed Ru Ac design i.e. started with simple cylinder shape of Mig-21 (F-7s) then followed by Mig-23/27 like dabba design (rectangular X-section and box intakes with large splitter plates) as a matter of coincidence (if one may say so) JH-7 too is a fighter-bomber like Su-24/Mig-27 (looks like variable geometry wing was kind of difficult to reverse engineer in time ) and obviously the current pack is a xerox copy+photoshop of the Su-27 layout.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Of course, but if you look at the shape of the air intakes, the gun placement, the landing gear and the overwing pylon(saw a pic with such a possibility), it seems to me that it is a rip off of the Jaguar.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Well I guess the front half does have the similarities you say and I find it piskologically interesting that I choose to identify the Jaguar by its musharrafBala Vignesh wrote:Of course, but if you look at the shape of the air intakes, the gun placement, the landing gear and the overwing pylon(saw a pic with such a possibility), it seems to me that it is a rip off of the Jaguar.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Is this the first crash of the Thunder?
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Considering that they lost a man too, we should refrain from expressing emotions that maybe mis-interpreted.
While I am happy to see a dent in the marketing attempts of the JF-17, there is a sadder angle for them in this.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
i can see tailfins. mirage 2k dont have them. i think its f-5. look at the image below. its somewhat similar.
http://img.planespotters.net/photo/1280 ... 128187.jpg
hawker hunter also seems unlikely. its frontal vertical tail shape is curved whereas the one in pic looks much squarish.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
but then tailfin indeed look odd...It is F5...

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. Check the wingtips.
Re: Aircraft Recognition
at last. it's an aermachhi MB-326 made under license.
Ajit, I first thought it was a shooting star as well, because of the wing tip tanks. but brazil hasn't operated one.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Checked the Brazilian Airforce Site in wiki it says they did operate the TF33, also the TF33 site does show Brazil as one of the operators.
I too would agree that it does look like MB 326, if you look at the tail also which is a lot squarer than the TF 33. But the aircraft in picture looks a lot slimmer and the nose looks sharper, may be its my eyes.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
The Shooting Star was phased out from Brazilian AF service in the 70s. It is an ancient aircraft. The one in the pic is definitely an MB-326 (or whatever the Brazilians call it).

Re: Aircraft Recognition
The first name that came to my mind on seeing that photo was Soko Galeb of Yugoslavia. But that is wrong in any case. I am sure it is the Embraer Xavante version of the Aermacchi trainer as pointed out above. I did not know of the existence of the Xavante. Some of these trainers look very similar.Rahul M wrote:identify the aircraft flying above the AEW.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Just read about a site - http://jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?regsearch=VT-SMI
Notice the destinations - India, Italy, Australia, Switzerland, UK, France, etc.
Perhaps searching by unique plane ID.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
The one on the wingtip is the AMRAAM, and the one on the outer wing pylon seems to be a dummy weight for Sidewinder or its some kind of sensor..
