Pretty much what was supposed I believe to be on the Project Oriol? (If I got the project correct).

Lindr2, realy welcomed project! Good work on this, will you create a twoseater? Or even the vertical takeoff MiG-23 prototype with deltawings?! I`m just asking

 

I like prototypes!

Looks fantastic, can it have also the "heavy" looking back of the MF or PFM Mig-21, I htink there is additional fuel stored, so it can use the middle weaponstation for something else than a fueltank ;)

 

Will you create the back windows too? for a rearward view?!

look behind the canopy, there are additional windows!

[+Spillone104 553]

Nice project Lindr!

[+Gepard 11,249]

MiG-21F Pilots told me, that the small windows at the rear werent really usefull. Thatswhy the czech had deleted them on their MiG-21F13. I think Lindr2s version is more realistic.

As suggestion, perhaps it would be possible to add the dogtooth at the wingroots, as it was used in MiG-27M or MiG-23MLD. Should make the bird more agile and slower at carrier approach.

Know You or not, but into MiG-23K project (1976-78) used some features from MiG 9-11 include cockpit design, but 9-12 do not have back windows. Whether back windows for an MiG-23K are necessary?. I'm not assured yet about it ....

 

9-11 prototype (1973 project)

 

 

 

about refueling probe: that MiG-23K version also exist

Mh interresting aspect, thanks forthe info lindr2, the idea was to have a variety in the versions, with or with out the window, or without the refuelprobe .. just some ideas ;)

 

Good work so far, thanks!

For the MiG-29 project 3 different design concepts were tested.

The first was a twin engine MiG-23 look a like with no swing wings and F-15 style air intakes ( the first in the row of lindrs drawings)

Then was a design which reminds on the later Yak-41 (second in row)

And finally the lifting body concept, which later became the MiG-29. project 9-11 was a MiG-29 body with MiG-23 avionics for export. Was cancelled because it was impossible to fit the MiG-23 radar in the MiG-29 body. 9-12 was full development. 9-12A was export WP, 9-12B was export rest of the world.
