    Infinite Flight

    Has anyone heard of this flight sim for iOS, Android, and Kindle? Most recently, the Airbus A318, A319, and A320 were added. The A321 was also reworked. The models look really detailed for a mobile game, but the instruments still don't function. It probably has more than 50 planes now...

    Thought this might also be interesting. The early days of the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino (now).
  6. APX-1 IFF info request

    I recently purchased RT-22 AN/APX-1 IFF Transponder Set; used in Navy aircraft F4F, F6F-5, FM-2, F4U How was it used and what Army Air Corps planes was it used in? what else goes with the system in the aircraft?
  7. A complete hook up

    Why do Navy Planes Have Tailhooks? Unbelievably, people don't realize that after a tough day of flying on and off of an aircraft carrier the planes are always washed, and then they use the hooks to hang the planes over the side to drip dry.

    Mauser MG 213

    Okay, let's say we discard the concept of a revolving auto-cannon and imagine Germany attempts to make revolving cannon based off of the Gatling gun design. Do you think they could have pulled it off? Also would would one cannon producing a volley of bullets be more effective than multiple...

    More Gloster VTOL Projects

    I looked farther into the Gloster VTOL project in my last thread and found there were a few more. Enjoy Gloster Aircraft Company experimental VTOL designs 1958-1961 - Album on Imgur My thoughts on it: The 1958 entry is really an outlier 497, 504, 505, and 507 are all fighters using Rolls-Royce...

    What Are These things?

    I noticed it on planes, and my friend told me these things were important, but he couldn't remember what these were called and what their function was. Can someone tell me what these are, and what they do?

    Control surface area

    Why were the control surfaces on the Messerschmitt planes so small (as it is with most other german planes also) compared to their allied counterparts?
  17. 2015 Winter Airshow

    What determined the number of prop blades?

    Looking at many of the WWII fighter planes you see many different styles of prop blades, but the one thing that's always puzzled me is how they determine the number of prop blades. The Germans seemed to believe 3 blades was the way to go, as hardly any of their fighters had more than 3 blades...
