    For the next 15 weeks (longer if the weather does not hold) THIS is the most beautiful aircraft ever as far as I'm concerned!

    It's actually 8 turbojets (good for 5 minutes as they'll run out of oil afterwards) and two turbofans.

    The RB 162s are quite interesting, though.
    Compressor-blades built out of glass-fiber (or was it carbon? Gotta have to re-check that one; we're having both, the RB 162 and the Pegasus standing at uni).


    BTW: Those Turbo-Dimonas are insane - they'd go up and check for volcanic ash in Switzerland with a Turbo-Dimona (FL 250-capable ).

    Yeah they really like to fly On takeoff the time from brake release until liftoff is ridiculously short - and they fly at a flat deck angle which takes some getting used to. As I have posted before the weirdest thing about the whole HK36 family is the massive adverse yaw (especially in the climb) - worse than any other glider I've flown. Move the stick left and the nose goes 15-20 degrees right and vice-versa.

    Did someone say aircraft porn?



    Gotcha! (I'll stop now... )

    Have to admit, though, she has some nice cannons on her!

    Abstract art can also be beautiful

    That is what happens when you let a shipyard construct an airplane.

    I think most of the planes in here are beauties. After all beauty is in the eyes of the beerholder.
    Oops, I meant beholder!!
