Sorry don't know how to post an image. Would be grateful for any intervention. Thank you.
Lisa ji, You can use the img tag and paste the img URL (right click on the img -> copy address) in between the tags.
Like so

^^The plane is NOT an F-5 as I thought - it is an NF-5

^^The plane is NOT an F-5 as I thought - it is an NF-5
https://www.turkyildizlari.tsk.tr/en-us ... 5-Aircraft
NF-5 aircrafts, which have been in service at Tuaf since 1987, are preferred as the most suitable aircraft for aerobatic displays due to their avionic systems and aircraft performance. When the world aviation literature is scanned, it is seen that the F-5 aircraft design is the most suitable aircraft design for supersonic flights.
Within the scope of the project commenced in August 1993 at Eskişehir 1st Air Supply Maintanance Center Command;
The chaff/flare dispensary units and the gun barrels, which increase the aerodynamic drag, were cancelled by detachment; and structural modifications were applied to those parts.
Instrument panels were reset in order to enhance pilot vision and to make it user-friendly.
For better vision on mirrors, two side mirrors were replaced with F-4 aircraft mirrors and an extra mirror was mounted.
Tiptanks were converted into paint tanks by disconnecting the fuel lines from main fuel system and hydraulic pumps were mounted into tanks in order to transmit the paint to the nozzles, for the purpose of enabling the aircraft to emit smoke during the display.
Aircraft bodies were dressed up with red and white paint, which is their present color.
9 NF-5A and 1 NF-5B aircraft, which were assigned to Turkish Stars acroteam, were handed over in July 1994 following the completion of modifications.In year 2000, in addition to aforementioned modifications, 3-axis VTR's were mounted in order to improve the effectiveness of post-flight performance evaluations. Now, the acroteam carries out demonstrations and training activities with 10 NF-5A and 6 NF-5B aircraft.
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Nifty looking bird eh.. So what is it
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Identify this. And it's USP
Re: Aircraft Recognition
^^ first impression - looks like a tractor propeller driving the LP compressor stage of a hidden turbojet ? A predecessor to the Unducted fan /Prop fan engine ?
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Just looked it up & found that its just a plain vanilla RC engine, connected to the prop via a reduction mechanism. The boxy thing in the front is just a radiator
Nevertheless this crude concept for implementing stealth was very innovative for those days.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
The stealth is acoustic and not in the radio frequency spectrum. That is what has to be understood.Bob V wrote:Just looked it up & found that its just a plain vanilla RC engine, connected to the prop via a reduction mechanism. The boxy thing in the front is just a radiator

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Correct. Sort of a precursor to the QT-1 (Quiet Thruster) and the YO-3 "Quiet Star" which was tried out in the nights over vietnam
Reason i came across it was the continued development of the H03 Firebird surveillance plane and their sound suppression efforts to make it quieter than the drones
Do check out the video (of it's sound and the FLIR system) - here

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Yes, that's a Concorde.
Two questions
The photo claims to be an absolute unique one. Why? and What is the platform from which the photo was taken?

Re: Aircraft Recognition
It was taken from an RAF Tornado jet while the Concorde was doing Mach 2
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Wow, sir ji. You are super quick yourself.
I find the photo fascinating for another reason.
The tornado pilot with flight mask on in his cramped cockpit, could only keep up with the Concorde for a few minutes before he had to turn back. The passengers in the Concorde, comfortably seated, might have been leisurely sipping on champagne at the same time.

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Some times you just go - 'But why?'.. and the designers are like 'Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time'
So folks what is this one

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Looks like NASA colours to me!
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Hint- look at the wings.. the wing tips to be precise
Re: Aircraft Recognition
Those wingtips seem to be carrying something extraordinary.
After rubbing my eyes multiple times in sheer disbelief, a quick googal search showed this to be an experimental variant of the P51 fitted with a 106mm recoiless gun..
So basically they strapped a bazooka to a mustang.
Nuts..

Re: Aircraft Recognition
^ correct, Sir!
2 recoil-less 106mm, one on each wing-tip
As you have rather eloquently put it, "Nuts"

Thanks for that pic, Manish ji.
I'm sure if we dig in to the design docs, we might find one name that will help us make sense of this..

Re: Aircraft Recognition
Yes, looks something that Acme Corp would produce
But you have got to hand it to the Yanks.. there is method in their madness. And they have a lot of both.
