The early history of V/STOL aviation contained a great many paths not taken. With the Harrier being one of the core aircraft that inspired this challenge I felt it was only right to take one of the more unusual paths not taken, the Ryan Proposal for a V/STOL version of the F-104, featuring the spinn...
I like that sea plane tender, however that seaplane seems a bit weird. Are you sure that ICBMs fit vertical inside hull? The sea plane is very weird. It's hard to tell from a side but it's actually a catamaran. The missile is stored horizontally in the main fuselage. For launch the missile launch t...
Even though I've been around for awhile I realized I never got around to making a thread to post my personal designs. Most of the time I've only posted stuff to discord or the accursed halls of the NS thread for pixel art. Beyond challenges I never get around to posting my personal designs, (I keep ...
As part of my work on another thing I'll probably be posting at some point, I drew a USAF's "Sea Sitter" ICBM toting flying boat. General idea is you stick the ICBM on a seaplane and then it flies out to sea, lands in the open ocean and then just sorta drifts around, periodically taking off and repo...
In this episode of Corp takes a dumb cold war prototype and tries to use it in a challenge: Walking Trucks. The 1980s hyper cold war future we were promised back in the 1960s that turned into the past we were denied. https://i.imgur.com/r1MViFz.png First Deployed in 1976, the All Terrain Utility Veh...
Beyond the report happening on the opposite side of the Iron Curtian from the Bora prior to her being commissioned, another thing to keep in mind is that the discussion is about American Shipbuilding capability. The Author's assessment about lack of intermediate sized design being needed is based on...
Over the years while prowling the depths of Spergery I have encountered many "cracked" out designs over the years. Recently I came across what I think is a contender for the most "cracked" out concept I've ever seen. Rivaled only by that infamous pint sized 100 knot British Nuclear Hovercraft Aircra...
Corp, Achilles class: The best thing about this entry is that it involves Congress imposing arbitrary requirements that result in actual human waste piling up (there's no mention of a head anywhere in the description of crew facilities and I like to imagine that was a deliberate omission). Also, bo...
Since Challenge goes into 2030 and LUSVs are supposedly the upcoming new hotness according to some people, I decided to go with a LUSV for my entry. I figure the 2020-230 time frame is a bit early for a full robo ship so I decided to have it be an experimental ship which was optionally manned. In th...
