>Nope, it was the actual design the brits wanted to go for, a completely enclosed system with a bunch of cameras that let the pilot have a 360 degrees view in all three axis
Wow... Really over the edge for their time...
It's actually a thing regarding supersonic passengers aircrafts...
Plus it is exactly what the F-35's developper tried to implement with their special helmet !
Can't beat the old Brit... ^^'

>Surprised you don't know about it since it was anglo-french venture, AFVG, pic related
Well, in all honesty, I didn't knew about it at all... So thanks again very much for sharing it with me ! I'll defly dive into it deeper !
Especially with the upcoming Salon du Bourget next week ;)

> mostly due to the notorious "missile paper" of the early 50s which decried aircraft as obsolete, that's why they only had the Harrier till the war with Argentina
It may even be related to the cannonless 1st gen F4's in Nam... "missile paper thing..."
As for the Harrier... Yeah the Falklands war, after that it wasn't really pushed into warzones... unless sporadically...

But speaking about the Harrier, having in mind our discussion about the URSS...
Let me greet you with one of my fav VTOL URSS Aircraft ;)

>t. flown a Yak_52 ;)
