Avro Vulcan
The majestic Avro Vulcan ruled the skies for more than two decades as a major component of the Free World's Cold War nuclear forces. This enormous delta-wing jet was one of the most graceful and beautiful flying machines ever committed to the grim reality of nuclear deterrence. But the Vulcan as lo excelled as a conventional bomber, tanker and reconnaissance platform. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

Bell-P59-Airacomet
The first US jet aircraft, the Bell P-59 Airacomet, made its maiden flight on October 1,1942. Although it was originally intended to be a fighter, its combat performance proved inferior to that of piston-engined contemporaries so it served mainly as a trainer. THIS MODEL IS BEING WORKED ON AND IS NOT AVAILABLE (NA)

Caproni Campini N.1
In 1939 inventor Secondo Campini convinced the Caproni company to build an airframe to test his new power unit, which he believed would replace the propeller. The Italian aircraft industry had decided that a gas turbine engine was impractical (even as German and British scientists were testing theirs). The Caproni Campini N.1 flew in 1940 and has sometimes been touted as the world's first jet aircraft. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

Coanda 1910 Jet
One of the first things you'd notice about this slim biplane was its lack of propeller. Designed by 24-year-old Romanian Henri Coanda, the airplane made its official debut at the October 1910 Salon de l'Aeronautique in Paris, where it wowed the crowd. That's not only because the biplane had a complete wooden cover, and its struts and bracing wires were kept to a bare minimum, but also because its tractor-mounted engine drove a centrifugal compressor through a series of gears.

DeHavilland-Comet
The DeHavilland DH.106 Comet was the world's first commercial jet airliner to be produced. Developed and manufactured by DeHavilland, the Comet first flew in 1949 and was a revolutionary in aeronautical design. The DeHavilland Comet had an extremely aerodynamically clean design with its four DeHavilland Ghost turbojet engines placed into the wings, a light-noise pressurized cabin, and huge windows. The Comet was extremely comfortable and showed promise of being a major success shortly after launching.

Douglas X-3 Stiletto
The primary purpose of the X-3 was to test the aerodynamics that were to be incorporated in the design of a radical new interceptor conceived by Lockheed in 1951, at a time when the lessons of the Korean War were bringing about profound changes in the design of combat aircraft. That aircraft, the F-104 Starfighter, eventually flew in February 1954, only 11 months after a contract had been placed for two XF-104 prototypes. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

Grumman Cougar
Based on the earlier Grumman F9F Panther, the Cougar replaced the Panther's straight wing with a more modern swept wing. The Navy considered the Cougar an updated version of the Panther, despite having a different official name, and thus Cougars started off from F9F-6 upwards.

Hawker-Hunter
The Hawker Hunter is generally acknowledged to be the best single-seat fighter of the mid-1950s. But the birth of this beautiful baby was not an easy one. The first test flight, on 21 July 1951 made it obvious that a few problems needed to fixed. Eventually the Hunter went on to become, arguably, the best loved airplane of its age.
Prolific designer Rob Carleen created this fine Hawker Hunter cardmodel. The folder comes with two sizes of Hunter and no fewer than FIVE versions.

Messerschmitt ME-263
The Messerschmitt Me 263 was a rocket-powered fighter aircraft developed from the Messerschmitt Me 163 towards the end of World War II.

Messerschmitt-Me262
Sleek and deadly..The Messerschmitt Me 262. During WWII's final two years this gas turbine-powered M2-262 was the great white hope of the Luftwaffe's Fighter Force. Far faster than any allied fighter type, with its powerful armament, it promised to be a potent bomber destroyer. Yet in combat, the revolutionary jet made little impact in any role. 1/12-15 1/20-16

Vought Cutlass
The Vought F7U Cutlass was a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber of the early Cold War era. It was a highly unusual, semi-tailless design, allegedly based on aerodynamic data and plans captured from the Arado company at the end of World War II, though Vought designers denied any link to the German research at the time. It was one of the first combat aircraft to feature a head-up display (HUD), an inertial navigation system (INS), and a turbofan engine.

Vought-A7 Corsair
In 1962, the US Navy began preliminary work on the A7 Corair, a replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk only with greater range and payload. Typical of US Government DOD thriftyness, particular emphasis was placed on accurate delivery of weapons to 'reduce the cost per target.' War is OK. Trashed environment OK too. A few million killed or displaced even ok. As long as it's cost effective !! Incoming Shoe
