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.

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...

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.

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 !

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.

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. :dntknw:

Yep, held at a former SAC base! (at least for W2000, it was a former SAC base). Still have the AFRL directorate there, though.

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).
