JohnnyJohnJohn Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Since this one is almost finished for another piece of Software I use, would the community be interested in an aircraft that behaves pretty much like a VTOL flyer, and high rates of speed and even have orbit capability? This is it: TR3B Black Triangle, Rumored NOT to exist, but do through many eyewitnesses. It can easily be converted over from the platform now to Flight Simulator I would have done a poll, but not sure how to on these boards.

adamb Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yes indeed, looks pretty cool, but is it Jan proof? ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yes indeed, looks pretty cool, but is it Jan proof? ;) Do you mean if it's water proof? :mad: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamb Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Do you mean if it's water proof? :mad: Well now, look who popped up. :rolleyes: I have a slightly used set of water wings I'll sell to you at a discount price. There as good as new, well, almost. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 That is a very interesting aircraft. Like to see some shots of it flying. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) TR3B? Yes they existed, about 1958 to 62-4 I'd say. Perky little British automobiles. Though I preferred the "small mouth" TR3. ;) It preceded the TR3A and had drum front brakes. Having said that, neither was very fast and certainly didn't "fly" except in very bad situations!! :eek::eek: Michael Edited September 7, 2020 by Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Buck Turgidson Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hey Johnny, have you uploaded this anywhere? I would love to fly something in MSFS2020 that could go from hover to very fast and up to low earth orbit (or higher). Saw one of these at about 25 meters near Ft Campbell flying about 15 knots. Lost it as it went over the trees straight over me. Made very little sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made very little sound. As I was a young man in the 60's my first thought on your comment would have been Good Shit!! ;);) (LSD, Grass, etc.) Today, since it's near Ft. Campbell, I guess I should say Good Drone. Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell, I guess I should say Good Drone. Michael Could have been something experimental. It was not any drone known today and was not a rotor wing vehicle. It was Nov 97, CAVU 0 wind, about 2200 and I was very used to the "normal" stuff flown by 160th and the low level runs with Hercs. Spotted this while traveling east out of Elkton before Daysville. Thought it was a C130 at first glance as I topped a hill and spotted it traveling 90 degrees to the road. Then I started to intercept it and stopped in the road beside a house it was over which gave a good idea of the dimensions which were about the width of the house (60 feet) and near equilateral triangle with no separately defined wing structure. So over a minute I got a look at it from about 1/2 mile and about even in elevation, down to 25 meters and directly under it. It made almost no noise until I was directly below which made me think about helium filled fuselage. I never saw it fully hover and never saw it go faster than about 20 knots. It had only one green nav light visible which indicated it was backing up. No dope, drink or hallucinations were involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to hit him up and see if there's anything he can talk about. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
