maybe because in vertical mode it have "pull propeller", and in horizontal: "push propeller". Also I don't think that "big circles" are good ide in attack plane: imagine two big target rings, all that damage due small arms, and machine guns, ricoshetes all over plane...

Wow... Some really great ideas in this gallery. The Mistels are fantastic, the Yak-130/Ka-50 combo is excellent too. The various Curtisses (particularly the Soviet ones) are extremely pleasant.

Re: Profiling by JP Vieira - YaKa-50 Helicopter Hunter

still,I think it would sound better KA-YA,a matter of taste.
Yes, a matter of taste: in French, YaKa is more funny, because in slang "y'a qu'à..." (pronounced yaka) means "it's easy, simply doing..." (for instance: y'a qu'à inventer = it is easy, simply inventing). Good word! (for my taste)

I would personally translate "Y a qu'à..." (or in better French: "Il n'y a qu'à...") by "All it takes is...".

Althought some more thought is needed, I still think it is a good starting idea.

And keeping with VTOL why not a VTOL version of the E-2.
Here is the Grumman/ Boeing VE-12; this is a version for the Brazilian Navy, the E-4 Guardião

Hello
The USAF needed a new aircraft that was able to perform the role of tactical surveillance; that new aircraft need to be able to defend itself from both ground and aerial threats and also to perform the first strike upon the targets discovered.
The answer was the AO-10 Shrike.

Improved Bronco? With jets and bubble canopy? Nice twin-boomer! If I were general, I would buy it!

Combining the OV-10 with the A-10 is a very good idea.

That AO-10 Shrike is brilliant.
Also like the VTOL A-10, regardless wether it will work or not... just looks so cool!

And then you come back and top yourself by adding those great full-color stars-and-bars and USMC markings! Excellent!

Re: Profiling by JP Vieira - Curtiss SpitHawk
« Reply #68 on: January 09, 2012, 01:11:24 PM »
And another…
The Curtiss 77 was developed to meet specific French requirements of a Hawk 75 with a more powerful engine, more firepower and other improvements.
None were delivered before the fall of France and all were subsequently delivered to the free French forces.
They were used in many theaters of operations and were praised by its pilots for their reliability and toughness




That looks gorgeous, though the nose looks way too long unless there's a R4360 in there.  I could see an uprated Hawk 75 with P-40E wings and a R2600 or R2800 in the nose as being an eminently practical development.

And here is another colour profile of the AV-10, one of the export versions.
The New Zealand Air Force received, in 1978, 20 aircraft to form a dedicated ground attack and support unit for the ground forces (Army, Marines, etc):
