The aircraft in Mr joygoswami link are
the T-38 Talon
the F-14
I believe the pictures are photo shopped as 3 seater version of the above aircraft were never made.

You may be right, the 3 seater F-14 does look a little fake. But the Twin Seater A-10 Thunderbolt is 100% real.

Some New Ones.

While this 3 seater is a fake, are you (or anyone) able to recall a few genuine 3 seater fighters/bombers?

Of the top of my head, Our beloved Canberra was one that had a 3 man crew.

Yes. Also the Breguet Alize and the B-58 Hustler.

While not a combat aircraft, another three person designed aircraft was our beloved HPT-32

(yes, it has a bench seat in the back for a third person.. some quirky ASR..

)

Yes, they actually built one of these. I'm not kidding.

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 13 Jan 2011 09:27

very interesting !
looks like a Bf109 in soviet markings without the props, with sledges to boot ! I don't see a jet engine however . possibly a modified yak-1 ?

I'll give a hint. It is a Soviet rocket plane that first flew 18 months before the Me-163 Komet.

thank you ! I thought of a rocket plane at first but foolishly got distracted by the typical propeller fighter look.

Realised for the first time. Both American and USSR/Russian militaries use a five cornered star mark
And Pakistan, Somalia, China, North Korea are one of fairly large number of countries which use this ideogram on their flags.

This pic illustrates the difference in frontal views between the Su and the MiG. Someone was asking a while back how to differentiate between the two.

China Z-10

The Z-10 attack helicopter is under development in China. It’s development began in the mid-1990s. Prototype of the Z-10 maid it’s maiden flight in 2003. It is expected to enter service with Chinese army in 2008 – 2009. It will be the first dedicated modern Chinese attack helicopter. It has been designed with extensive technical assistance from Eurocopter and Augusta. Primary mission of the Z-10 is ant-armor and battlefield interdiction. It also has some limited air-to-air combat capabilities.

http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-d ... es-op.html

Hong Kong's second largest newspaper, the Sing Tao Daily, reported earlier this week that US pressure forced the Chinese to change the aircraft's engine. Prototype models of the Z-10 in 2007 showed a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine, which somehow got diverted to a Chinese military program. The operational version of the aircraft appears to be powered by the same engine in the Z-9, which is a copy of the Eurocopter AS 365N1 Dauphin.

Doesn't the Z-10(no dout)look like a cross between an Apache and Cobra. Like a slimmer apache

Bala Vignesh · Post by **Bala Vignesh** » 08 Feb 2011 21:03

it looks more like our LCH than the apache or cobra, imo..

Yes, Vignesh Ji, even I think so. If you do a image search on google for LCH you will see this pic. Even I was confused I thought was an early mock up of our LCH then again the star on its musharaf was confusing me further.

I found this little guy flying around HAL airport a few days back. He was pretty acrobatic. Could anybody please identify this bird for me.

TIA

nachiket · Post by **nachiket** » 16 Feb 2011 06:15

^^Looks like the Rustom-1 UAV

Indranil · Post by **Indranil** » 16 Feb 2011 06:58

No it is NAL's all-composite Light Canard Research Aircraft (LCRA) (VT-XIU), a Long-EZ design, was built in the 80s for research purposes.

This is from 1995

It is the predecessor to Rustom1.

I am generally no good at civil aircraft recognition. I joined up 3 photos from aero India to make a long composite photo. I have numbered 6 airraft in orange numerals. Could someone please identify them. Click on thumbnail to enlarge

1) The Raytheon Hawker 4000 (I think)
2) Dunno.. Something from Hawker Beechcraft range I suppose
3) Piaggio Avanti (a superb plane. Just what our Saras should have been like ideally and a direct competitor)

4) Pilatus PC-12 . If you want to buy one, let me know. I know someone who can finance that.

5 & 6 again from Hawker Beechcraft I would guess.
