Gloster Javelin Ideas

(1/8) > >>

Maverick:
G'day Gang,

Apparently there's no thread for this type, so I thought I'd start it off with a few ideas after reading about planned ground-attack & recce variants.

upnorth:
There's an aircraft with all kinds of "Could have been" to it!

I've often been tempted to do up a Javelin with some refinements that were tossed about in the real world, like thin wings. I'd also be inclined to replace all those little vortex generators with a wing fence or two.

I've also read that the horizontal stabiliser was completely superfluous and that it was there due to a poor understanding of delta wing operations and the aircraft could have flown without it, so I'd probably do away with that and put on a thinner vertical fin.

I was also thinking about Mirage type intakes with variable centre bodies and perhaps a bit of area ruling on the fuselage.

More powerful engines go without saying.

Cool concepts.   8)
With a couple Javelin kits in stash, maybe get to a Javelin bash one day.

For some reason, I have always seen Javelins in Taiwanese markings...why, I just don't know.
