/images/notams/notams22/f19update.jpgF-19 is the designation for a hypothetical US fighter aircraft thathas never been officially acknowledged, and has engendered muchspeculation that it might refer to a type of aircraft whose existenceis still classified. Since the unification of the numbering system in 1962,U.S. fighters have been designated by consecutive numbers, beginningwith the F-1 Fury. F-13 was never assigned to a fighter due totriskaidekaphobia, though the designation had previously been used fora reconnaissance version of the B-29. After the F/A-18 Hornet, thenext announced aircraft was the YF-20 Tigershark. The USAF proposedthe F-19 designation for the fighter, but Northrop requested the"F-20" instead. The USAF finally approved the F-20 designation in1982. The truth behind this jump in numbers is Northrop pressed thedesignation "YF-20" as they wanted an even number, in order to standout from the Soviet odd-numbered designations. Despite this, thedesignations YF-17 and YF-23 were not skipped (although YF-20, YF-17and YF-23 all were prototypes and did not enter production phase). /images/notams/notams21/pizz1108/f19-2.jpgThe United States received the first Lockheed F-117 stealth fighterin 1982. During the decade many news articles discussed what theycalled the "F-19". The Testor Corporation produced a F-19 scalemodel. The company had decades of experience in producing highlydetailed models that pilots and aerospace engineers purchased, andused its sources in the United States military and defensecontractors. The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and other mediadiscussed the model after its January 1986 introduction; when the realstealth aircraft crashed in California in July 1986, news stories usedthe model to depict it. Representative Ron Wyden asked the chairman of Lockheed Corporationwhy an aircraft that Congressmen could not see was sold as modelaircraft. The publicity helped to make the model the best-sellingmodel aircraft of all time, but it did not really resemble the F-117,which no doubt pleased those working with the real, secretaircraft. The F-117 designation was publicly revealed with the actualaircraft in November 1988. /images/notams/notams21/pizz1108/f19-3.jpgFeaturesFmodFully animated 3D exterior model with gear, flaps, flight controlsWeapon bay door opening matches selected weaponFully animated 3D interior cockpit model: with stick, throttle, rudder pedals, switchesEjection seatMultiple liveries available separatelySASL plug-in driven avionics and automated systemsDefault auto flap control options can be switched off for full manual control if desiredUser flight manual4K textures1 modelNav light selectionGarmin 1000Pilot automaticEngine systemsComplete NAV systemOptimized for XP11 and XP12 /images/notams/notams21/pizz1108/f19-4.jpgPurchase pizzagalli.ch - Northrop Grumman F19 Stealth For X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 See other pizzagalli.ch aircraft for X-Plane

/images/notams/notams21/pizz0708/pizz0708.jpgP-30 is a new project different from what currently exists. The plane hasthe wings reversed in the direction of advance, a technique very difficult tocarry out, because of the enormous stresses on the wings in supersonic mode.But today with composite materials, this has become possible. The 1980sGrumman X-29 (1984 to 1991 for the last flight) was designed to explore thispromising technique. /images/notams/notams21/pizz0708/p30-1.jpgIt's been 40 years already. The plane was a success, but I do not know the reasons for itsabandonment. The X-29 clearly inspired this P30. This is the reason why itsname is: Northrop Grumman P30. The Sukhoi SU-47 uses the same principles, but later, in 1997. thatairplane also was abandoned. For the pleasure of making and flying this P-30 aircraft, it is alsovertical takeoff, with orientable thrust vectors. /images/notams/notams21/pizz0708/p30-2.jpgFeaturesFMODFully animated 3D exterior model:GearFlapsFlight controlsThrust vectorsEasy transitions between vertical and conventional flight modesWeapon bay door opening matches selected weaponFully animated 3D interior cockpit model:Stick, throttle, rudder pedals, switchesEjection seatMultiple liveries available on the X-Plane.org freeware download managerSASL plug-in driven avionics and automated systemsDefault auto tilt, auto trim and auto flap control options can be switched off for full manual control if desiredFlight manualTexture 4K1 modelsNav light selectionGarmin 1000Pilot automaticEngine systemsComplete NAV system /images/notams/notams21/pizz0708/p30-3.jpg /images/notams/notams21/pizz0708/p30-4.jpgOptimized for X-Plane 11.
