>we need a spaceship

>Listen here, I know you're a new hire and all, but that plane was futuristic 15 years ago, give me something new
>Found your new plane, Sir!

>implying both of these planes aren't some absolutely scifi shit
The visor on the helmet of the f35 is linked to cameras positioned all over the aircraft so the pilot is able to see through the airframe as he's flying.

*in theory*

It looks insane in flight.

It's been issued for a while, but the pilots do say they don't really use it much.

It hasn't seen much action yet man. I'd imagine when the Korean Peninsula heats up within the next 12 months, they'll use the helmet plenty.

>we need a modern aircraft that doesn't look like boring shit
>say no more

that cessna is fucking boring. Be an adult and pick a jet fighter you pussy hole

>fuck that guy, boss. What about this?

Russia is the only country making decent looking jets

Jets are overpriced and have shit loiter time

Is this the epitome of aerospace engineering?

copypasta inbound
also, check'd

>say no more f a m

When will we be able to purge normalfags?

>copypasta inbound
Tell me more

>literally defending the use of prop planes over fighter jets in 2017

It's already been replaced and none of us are allowed to know about it. If you think we didn't replace the SR-71 with a faster moving higher flying motherfucker you're out of your mind.

>being this unaware of the resurgence of turboprop planes in CAS roles
>unironically preferring the boring and samey look of nearly all modern jet aircraft to the objectively more aesthetic look all propeller craft have

I'm a 2 star general and I can tell you that you're way off base, soldier.

>getting all worked up about a niche role only useful for counter-insurgency against arabs cruising around the desert in toyotas and black ops against South American commie militias

wew lad

Try using super tucanos as CAS in any conventional war

>giving a fuck about the aesthetics and not the efficiency of killing machines

improvement in spy satettlie tech made the sr-71 obsolete

tucanos are hideous anyway. I guarantee that dude just lives in a poor as fuck country that can't afford anything more

If that were true, we wouldn't still be using U2's Satelites have 100% predictable orbits where you can prepare for their passing.

Satellites have replaced them. Lockheed is looking to make a new one though

>The visor on the helmet of the f35 is linked to cameras positioned all over the aircraft so the pilot is able to see through the airframe as he's flying.

Absolutely pointless since the human brain can't even process so much information fast enough.

One of my history professors in college was a former NSA analyst and one of the things he said that always stood out, besides that he would lie to girls about what went on in the NSA to get laid, is that bleeding edge military tech has a mandatory classification of at least 25 years, so the "new toys" they roll out are usually a generation or two behind the stuff that they're rolling out.
Remember all the aurora stealth plane sightings in the 90's?

>Try using super tucanos as CAS in any conventional war

That's not the point though, the idea is for less wealthy countries to have an option when all they need is to fuck up narcos in some jungle or drop bombs on Arabs in Toyotas.

>we need aerial transportation for a big guy
>way ahead of you senpai

>we're gonna need a bigger plane

There were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this plane. Intense, maybe. Even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest guys out there, at least for a moment.

That thing is just a pilotable rocket.
The Dodge Viper of jets.

My grandpa flew these at Area 51

cool story, bro

pretty sexy desu

It was replaced with these things called satellites.
There is absolutely no reason for a higher flying faster jet. A human probably wouldn't be able to fly it. Also the SR71 was too expensive to fly, which is why the U2 outlived it.

The TU-160 would have been the epitome of aerospace engineering if the Russians had followed through on their plans for it. Originally interceptor/escort and electronic warfare variants were planned, the idea was that in the event of a nuclear war full squadrons of White Swans including the nuclear armed core with protection provided by the escort fighters and electronic warfare aircraft could plunge as far as possible over the Berlin Wall and into the West.

Lobbying screwed us out of this beauty!

Why does it look like a seagull in the thumbnail?

Why would they even need it against a bunch of norks?

>>Wideload coming thru

>we need an american helicopter
>but sir, its 1988, and the americans would never allo...
>I don't care, make it happen Yuri!

hahahahaind

>>We need a helicopter for a smug villain

We got you senpai

Catch you later

Fat plane needs to go on a diet. Can't accelerate, can't turn, can't do dogshit.

>We need a plane that's happy to be alive.

...

>EAR SHATTERING FART NOISE

It actually has better acceleration than an F-16 and can out turn an F-16. It's literally god tier, and the software limiters are still not turned fully off.

She's a nice lifting body. The F-16 is slow and heavy when she's loaded with weapons, while the F-35 is the same speed fully loaded.

SMASHED and SLAMMED

not only ear. it shreds everything into pieces

Woah, dude, are you saying that planes kinda look like birds? Mind = blown.

No, I'm saying the colors they chose for the glass makes it look like a stupid seagull

>we need the best looking, most perfectly aesthetic, man-made machine ever built
>i've got just the thing

you mean this

Sorry man, I mean this

this is happier

is it true, that they re-tested it's design by Computer Aided Design tools, and there was almost nothing computers could improve?

goddamn this takes autistic face blindness to a while nother level

Probably. It looks perfect

Nothing will ever be happier than F-8U3.

>quick we need an airplane that looks like it was folded in paper origami style, by an ancient japanese eunuch
>say no more i got just the thing

You've slipped up, glork.

>implying the VTOL capable F-35B wouldn't look the most futuristic to normies

youtube.com/watch?v=WgaSLcswQ2A

irl no military makes the F-35B lift off like a UFO because it uses too much fuel. They use that lift capability to require shorter runways so they can launch on even smaller air craft carriers.

The Nighthawk was only built out of such sharp angles because the computer modeling technology of the time couldn't handle more complex curves surfaces. If they could have made it non-angular, they would have. That thing flies like a fucking brick.

>blocks your path

>the producers agreed with licencing. We got one particular Creedence Clearwater Revival song in our movie soundtrack.
>on way...

>It's been issued for a while, but the pilots do say they don't really use it much.

No shit, dogfighting is dead. BVR Macross missile spam is the future. Within the next 20 years all the legacy aircraft will be converted into droid operated missile trucks that loiter beyond enemy range until they're fed targets by F-35's.

>dogfighting is dead
People will dismiss that because "they've been saying that forever" but you're actually right.

>calling F-35 fat when
exists
Dumbass!

Yeah, A-29s got bought by Afghanistan and some derps in Africa occasionally drop hand grenades from their Cessna 152

Meanwhile the USAF is humping the AT-6

>"epitome"
>lower payload than the significantly smaller Lancer
Ok

what are you talking about? imagine being able to look down and not see your body but what's directly under you. look up the video man it's genius and intuitive

also the main reason it's used is for vertical landings where you need it.

>The F-35A was supposed to replace the A-10 but they said "fuck that" and the A-10 currently has no planned retirement date
Best girl

I'd imagine it's still super useful for CAS though

I had to double check I was on Sup Forums.

Here user, have some VTOL.

>we need to show futuristic Chinese jets facing off against F-22s/35s in our new Top Gun movie
>our Chinese sponsors won't allow it, sir... we'll have to keep using 30yo Russian MiGs

What is some essential jet kino?

it can't just be Top Gun

I miss late night porn threads. But I guess plane threads will do, too.

...

This guy flies into your airspace and smacks your gf's radar sites, what do?

...

...

i never understood what the purpose of that cable is that attaches the hood of the cockpit to the dorsal fin int he back.

If you look deep enough, can even find plane rule 34 porn.

Do not sexualize planes.

>Chinese fucking shits!!!!
What did Marky Mark mean by this?

Only detect him faintly after the damage is done and fume with impotent rage at my inability to respond

This thing flew directly over my house as a kid and it gave me nightmares.

O-oh god

This was designed by an X-Man, Beast.

Don't ask, don't tell.

DELET THIS!!!!

...

SUPER TUCAN-o
ftw

Not a fan of the one-engine design but I guess they know what they're doing
