Reworking HS 125

The Big Gimper · « **Reply #1 on:** October 16, 2013, 12:23:57 AM »

I like the four engine design. Scale-o-rama with a 1/144 airliner.

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #2 on:** October 16, 2013, 01:16:10 AM »

The jet engine pods from the Italeri/Testors AC-119 kit would work very well for such a modification project in 1:72nd scale :)

What about something such as a Learjet with the twin small engines replace by something such as a P&W F100 in the tail fed by a single over fuselage intake (with either ramp or shock cone). One supersonic business jet!

Need a thinner and re-profiled wing, too. Current Learjet wing gets severe "Mach tuck" at Mach=.85 which creates a severe nose-down pitching moment that can very easily lead to a great smoking hole in the ground.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #5 on:** March 16, 2018, 04:19:45 AM »

New wing is a definite.

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #6 on:** March 17, 2018, 04:38:59 AM »

Like this?

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #7 on:** March 17, 2018, 08:40:18 PM »

Yep that would work. A variable intake might be useful to get the best performance though

Sweet!

Brit concepts.

Blackburn

Originally a concept for a VTOL military liaison aircraft, considered for exec role, centre fan lift.

Two SR.177 based concepts.

Thanks for posting.

elmayerle · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2018, 10:38:04 AM »

B.114 looks like an expansion on the Miles Student jet trainer. Some interesting concepts there and the ones with lift fans remind me of some studies Ryan did of mating lift fans with an early-model Learjet.

What about Contingency Fighter's aka Emergency Fighter adoption of business jets for military roles eg: Interceptor / Ground Attack? Or has this already been done in other forums? (if so, I apologise, and please disregard)

There were studies of interceptor versions of the Learjet 35/36 with a radar on the top of the vertical tail and three missiles, 2x AMFAAM and 1x IRAAM, under each wing. You could also adapt the Learjet wing to carry ground attack munitions and add suitable sensor designator elements either on the fuselage or at the front end of the tip tanks.

The Royal Navy used one or two (actually this is number 4) for Fleet Support in Scran Land:

The US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) use Cessna Citation 550s equipped with AN/APG 66 radar and other sensors on intercept duties. See here: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/FS_2015_C-550%20Citation.pdf

Dime-a-dozen in Whif-verse, and not uncommon in the “real world”, and all far
more boring than the reverse: bizjets/exec aircraft based on military aircraft.

Well the original Lear was based on a fighter / ground attack aircraft and the Mystere business jets were evolved from the like Nb armed fighters.

Yep, the Learjet, especially the Model 23, uses the wings, tail surfaces, and tip tanks of the FFA P-16. The wings on the Models 23/24/25, 28/29, 35/36, 55, 60 all share this ancestry. Only the comparatively recent Model 45 has a new wing.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #19 on:** April 21, 2018, 01:52:09 AM »

It would be interesting to see some other fighters developed into business jets:

Mirage III/2000?
Mirage F.1
F-4 Phantom II
F-104
F-14
F-16

Speaking of which, here is a theoretical F-111 Executive jet I did ages ago:

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2018, 01:55:20 AM »

And there was the real world MiG-25 proposal:

elmayerle · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2018, 02:31:07 AM »

Then there's Cessna's Model 407/407A derivatives of the T-37 as well as the "executive transport" version of the F-106 that Convair proposed (really want to model that one in 1/48). For that matter, there's the TU-116, a more direct conversion of a TU-95 airframe for a special personnel transport than the TU-114 airliner.

Another conversion:

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #25 on:** April 21, 2018, 08:44:45 AM »

I think that Vampire BizJet would look right at home with Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds.

jcf · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2018, 08:40:14 AM »

More SARO, two of the different configurations studied during the P195 & P202 design
process.

Four engines buried in the rear fuselage, tiltable for short takeoff.
