    Extractions: (photo, credit unknown) Main Role: Single-seat multi-role fighter Country of Origin: China (PRC) Current Status: In Service, Under Development The J-8 (Chinese name Jianjiji-8 (Fighter Aircraft 8) or Jian-8) was the subject of an advanced fighter programme that started in China in the late 1960s. The J-8 was the first PLAAF aircraft of domestic design. The overall configuration is a straightforward enlargement of the MiG-21/J-7 layout to accommodate two engines. Although it resembled Mikoyan’s experimental Ye-152A, contrary to some reports, it was not based on that aircraft. Production began in December 1979, with about 100 aircraft of the first configuration entering service. Design work on the improved J-8-II began in 1980, with production beginning in the late 1980s. The J-8-II has a completely new front end with much larger radar and ventral inlets, along with other less obvious improvements. The improved aircraft was comparable in aerodynamic performance to the Soviet Su-15 "Flagon".

The Tornado was originally designed to fulfill six different roles. After the Tornado went into service another role was defined; defense suppression, Italy and Germany procured the purpose built Electronic Combat Reconnaissance (ECR) version. This type is armed with the High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM). The six original roles were: 1. Interdiction Strike. 2. Counter Air Strike 3. Battlefield Interdiction 4. Close Air Support 5.

    Extractions: Passed away January 2nd 2004 Marshal of the RAF Sir John Grandy, who died on Friday January 2nd 2004 aged 90, was the only Chief of the Air Staff to have commanded a fighter squadron throughout the Battle of Britain. But as Chief, he was fated to preside over some of the most difficult transitions of the post-war period for the RAF. These included withdrawal from bases east of Suez; the cancellation of major aircraft projects; and the dismantling of the strategic nuclear bomber force which he had done so much to nurture. (The cut had been made so that the Navy's Polaris submarines could take over Britain's nuclear responsibility.) In May 1940 Grandy formed No 249 Hurricane squadron, which he trained and then led in action from Boscombe Down. One of his pilots, Flying Officer James Nicolson, was awarded Fighter Command's only Victoria Cross.

The Tomcat's primary missions are air superiority, fleet air defense and precision strike against ground targets. The sole foreign customer for the Tomcat was the Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF) at the time of the Shah of Iran . A total of 80 aircraft were ordered, but only 79 were delivered, as the last unit was embargoed and turned over to the USN. Some of the surviving Iranian F-14's are reportedly still operational today. The F-14 was developed to take the place of the aborted General Dynamics F-111B , a navalized version of the U.S. Air Force tactical strike aircraft. Intended to provide fleet air defense, the F-111B proved unmaneuverable, overweight, and, in general, poorly suited to aircraft carrier operations, leading to its cancellation in

    Extractions: Cold War fighters Both sides that participated in the Cold War also produced an amazing array of jet-powered fighter aircraft. The earliest jet fighters were adaptations of World War II aircraft: the Lockheed P- Shooting Star was the first jet used by the U.S. Air Force; the McDonnell FH-1 Phantom was the U.S. Navy’s first jet fighter; and the North American FJ- 1 Fury was the first fighter to see combat during the Korean War. The Fury inspired the F-86 Sabre, the favourite of USAF pilots confronting MiG-15s in the air over Korea. American pilots discovered the disadvantages of fighter air combat conducted far from home base (something the British had demonstrated during the Battle of Britain) when most engagements with the MiGs took place in an area near the North Korean border known as MiG Alley.

    Extractions: U Over the years, many technological influences have also been in fashion and have strongly influenced fighter aircraft design. During the early days of the cold war, speed was essential and the quest for Mach 2+ performance was strong, to the detriment of dog-fighting capability and field performance. The introduction of air-to-air missiles ousted the internal gun in several fighters but later made a come-back as a result of lessons learned during the Vietnam war, as well as a rejuvenation of classic close air combat capabilities. The sixties also saw the development of VTOL and variable wing geometry as a means to more tactical ability, but those developments might be said to have fallen out of favour towards the close of the previous century, the JSF program not forgotten. The impact of the tremendous capability increase of electronic computers and associated equipment, particularly fly-by-wire (FBW) control systems, have offered new roads to performance and handling qualities enhancements. Requirements for reduction of radar, IR, visible and audio signals from the aircraft, thus avoiding premature discovery by the enemy, have been strongly felt by the aerodynamicists, as well as the propulsion specialists.

There is provision for in-flight refuelling on the starboard side of the forward fuselage but the probe needs to be fitted semi-recessed as needed. The first production aircraft was ZA319 which flew on 10 July 1979 and service entry was with the unique Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment (TTTE) at Cottesmore in July 1980.

Convair XF-92A ; America's first experimental delta-winged jet powered aircraft. Bell X-1 The X-1's first free flight was in the hands of company test pilot Jack Woolams on January 25th 1946 and was in the #1 aircraft. Woolams flew the aircraft a total of 10 times (all unpowered glide flights) from Pinecastle AFB, Florida. Chalmers H "Slick" Goodlin took over the test programme after Woolams tragic death on August 30th 1946 flying a race configured Bell P-39. Goodlin's first unpowered flight was on October 11th 1946 at Muroc AFB, California. After a further 3 glide flights, the first powered flight of the X-1 programme was made on December 9th 1946 in the #2 aircraft. The #1 aircraft was returned to Bell's Buffallo plant for modifications. Goodlin made another 11 flights in the #2 aircraft before flying the newly modified #1 aircraft. The modifications to the #1 aircraft included new wings (8% thickness/cord ratio as opposed to 10% thickness/cord ratio of the #2 aircraft) and a new horizontal stabilizer (6% thickness/cord ratio as opposed to 8% thickness/cord ratio of the #2 aircraft). Goodlin's first flight in the modified #1 aircraft was April 10th 1947. Before the #1 aircraft was handed over to the airforce for its accelerated programme, company test pilot Alvin "Tex" Johnston made one powered flight on May 22nd 1947.

They heard Mr Boorer talk for over an hour-and-a-half about Sir Barnes Wallis (his long-term colleague), and describe his famous "dambusting" bomb, and also some of Wallis' lesser-known projects. The talk was illustrated by some rare photographs from the speaker's own collection, video clips of tests of the "bouncing" bombs and some of the swing-wing aircraft, and rounded off with a recording of Wallis himself. Speaker Norman Boorer (centre) prior to his lecture, with (from left to right) Norman Boorer worked in aeronautics for fifty years, much of it alongside Barnes Wallis himself. Initially a craftsman, he became a draughtsman and designer on various Vickers aircraft, also working on the “dambusting” bomb and the later “earthquake” bombs during the war. From 1945 he worked on swing-wing aircraft, rising to Chief Project Engineer and eventually Executive Assistant to the Chairman of BAC. Since his retiral in 1981, he has been a voluntary consultant at the Brooklands Museum, home to a complete Wellington recovered from Loch Ness in 1985 and several examples of Wallis’s bombs. The range of Wallis' work covered in the lecture included:
