Late WW2/early Cold War jets are peak military aviation aesthetic. Prove me wrong.

Why didn’t they just give it more jets? Why the combo ?

CANADAir CT-114 Tebuan is a pretty nifty ground attacker though.
Eli Hall
Good question, but its probably due to that aircraft being almost late ww2 tech
Hudson Foster
The Malaysian use her as ground and CAS mission against communist terrorist during 1970s-1980s aided by F-5E and Army Aloutte Gunship.
Josiah Martin
Jets for raw thrust at takeoff, props for efficient cruise. Early jet engines were super gas hogs.

HAL Marut. Nazi design for INDIA SUPERPOWER fighter. Good design, but abandoned once INDIAN found the pleasure of being poop outside.

>Mach 2 capable
>4x30mm Canon
>2000lb load
>More aerodynamically than Paki scum Sabre or F-104
Jayden Harris
Because props were just classier imo.
Sebastian Green
>While the Marut had been envisioned as a supersonic-capable combat aircraft, it would never manage to exceed Mach One. This limitation was principally due to the engines used, which in turn had been limited by various political and economic factors; multiple attempts to develop improved engines or to source alternative powerplants were fruitless. Criticism of the Marut's cost and lack of capability in comparison to contemporary aircraft were often made.

Wearing green clothig items was someting done by people with Irish ancestry. Clarence Johnson got that nickname because he was seen as a massive Irishboo.

They didn't initially have the combo, but it was added later for takeoffs and for when the bomber was over the target. The B-36 was hugefat and took forever to get to altitude, the jets really helped. The problem was that back in the late-40s/early 50's jet engines guzzled american amounts of fuel, so they'd use the props to cruise.

Basically a giant mig-21 built around a mig-25 engine. Was canceled as they couldn't get the engine to last more than a few flights back then.

I can't imagine how crazy it must have been to be a fighter pilot in that brief era when everyone was using jets, but the primary air-to-air weapons were still machine guns.

No inlet cones.
Nathan Smith
The Vixen is twin seater, the "operators" office is side by side with pilot, but deep in fluseage. Also, the cockpit position should provide better view for pilot during navy stuff.

The influential thing about the 229 is that it's the first jet powered flying wing, not the first flying wing.

Why the heck were the engines over-under rather than side-by-side like a sane engineer would do?
