exhausted Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the participation people. Just a couple of notes, I made clear that the similarities must not include developments (MiG-15 and MiG-17, F-86 and FJ-2, MiG-21 and J-7 [licensed, not copied]). Also, this isn't a thread to point fingers at who plagiarized who. It is to point out how the different designers made things that were similar, but different. I encourage ordinance participation too! It's all in the eye of the beholder, so if you're on a high horse about nit picky things then get off it. NOTICE: I am officially enacting the no posting a reply without a picture comparison. S.73 Ju-52 Edited May 5, 2012 by exhausted Quote
Viggen Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Two more look alike attack helicopters: Eurocopter Tiger and CAIC WZ-10 Quote
+Gepard Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 The J-7 was never a licence of the MiG-21. The J-6 was the licence of the MiG-19 thats true, but the J-7 was a pure copy. Quote
Atreides Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Looking at teh Mil and then the Aphace, the Aphace looks quite fragile in terms of armour. Quote
exhausted Posted May 7, 2012 Author Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Looking at teh Mil and then the Aphace, the Aphace looks quite fragile in terms of armour. Seems like it's time for a new chopper in the Army. But try to tell the Marines that about their Cobras and they'll laugh... Pulqui II La-15 Edited May 7, 2012 by exhausted Quote

MAKO69 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 One other: Had it the plane at the bottom of my post is a head on T-50 used that to show the likeness of the T-50 to the Falcon. Quote
+MigBuster Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Had it the plane at the bottom of my post is a head on T-50 used that to show the likeness of the T-50 to the Falcon. The greyness threw me - thought it was the JF-17 Thunder so another one: Quote

Atreides Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Seems like it's time for a new chopper in the Army. But try to tell the Marines that about their Cobras and they'll laugh... I didn't mean to offend, apologise if I came across as that, far from it, as I said it looks as it might or is a bit weaker in terms of armour as it (Apache) is older than the latest Mil-28 flavour. EDIT: Doubt that there is an aircraft that comes even close to my all time favourite, the superb SR-71 ! Edited May 10, 2012 by Atreides Quote
exhausted Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 There was never any offense taken! :) I think the M-21 looks similar! Here's a couple new ones: Buran: Quote
+Gepard Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Its the question who developed the design of the shuttle first. Here a picture of a windtunnelmodell of the Buran (kosmolet) with the first soviet cosmonauts (Gagarin, Bykovski, Nikolayev etc). Must be taken before Gagarin died, around 1966. At this time the american shuttle projects had a different shape. I think this design layout is the best for reusable spacecrafts. The european Hermes had had nearly the same outfit.

+SayethWhaaaa Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 DC-8 Boeing 707 and Convair 880 On a side note Hgbn, what's the story with that G-222 with the Aussie flag and K-roo? Quote
+Spillone104 Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 I think the Aussie flag on the G.222 was applied during the operation at Timor Est in 1999 since they operated from Darwin. Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Cheers Spill. I was thinking maybe Italy had tried to sell us the G-222 early in our Caribou replacement program or something. Quote
Caesar Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Fun fact: we still use a Douglas DC-8 to transport personnel to and from Thule AB. It likes to "break" in Florida during the winter months (earning the name "DC-Late")...strange it never broke on island. 1 Quote
exhausted Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 Interesting. We are all alike in that way. Nothing ever broke in Yuma! lol Isn't Rome where they had Woodstock? Quote
Caesar Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Yep, held at a former SAC base! (at least for W2000, it was a former SAC base). Still have the AFRL directorate there, though. Quote

Funny enough, they look alike but have vastly different mission profiles, equipment and flying characteristics. Quote
Toryu Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Fiat had built the F-86 under licence in Italy. Thus, they used a similar general design-layout on the G.91. The mission-profiles are vastly different, but the general performance is about similar (talking about the plain-vanilla F-86, not the afterburnerized Dog Sabre). Quote
