>URSS could produce a western equivalent that has 80% of the capability for half the price
Yeah, they were terrible for that...
Such marvellous engineers and manufacturers...
Fully focus on operationality, lowest logistic as possible, rough design able to withstand difficult condition such as barely corrrect dirt/grass leveled runways and so more...
Plus the sheer amount of units that could be produced...

>Schneider Cup
>Let's use Jets this time
Well, we'll have to determine a maximum size then... Because as we were speaking about the URSS, they had quite a speedy amphibious low level jet aircraft too lol...
See Picrel ^^'
Sry for overexagerating though ^^'
Let's say I choosed the one with no weapons aboard for racing fair play lol ^^'
But he's really fast though...

Joke aside an amphibious jet for a reknewed Schneider's Cup could be flabergasting... !
And your Sea Dart, thanks for posting it,was a great adventure in design ! I remember watching test run vids ...
