Title: F-26 Stalma
Post by: alyster on August 15, 2005, 12:13:40 PM
I was surfing the net and found a site for some freak plane  F-26  . Is it real and if it is then it isn't ready yet, is it?

 :o LOL!!! Good effort on the design though. If its designed as a better alternative for other relatively inexpensive mulit-role fighters, the active aural and RCS stealth is bound to blow the price through the roof! I'm not sure how they expect that stealth system to work, but just looking at it I'd expect the aircraft to light up like a Christmas tree if you spot it on radar!

It looks interesting...a merging together of different aircraft features like the forward-swept wings of a S-37 and the variable-geometry of a Tomcat or F-111. I don't know what to make of the tail section... except that its interesting...lol

Which airforce in their right mind would replace twin engine front-line fighters with single-engine fighters? Actually, I'll answer that: The RAAF is unfortunately replacing both the F/A-18 and the F-111 with the JSF :-[

No, unfortunately not. Too late now anyway.

No1 told it to me. I was just searching the web for stuff about  Indian airforce and found a pic of how F-26 would look like in Indian colours.

It looked so freak and ugly that I tought that it was fake or for some PC game, but some1 has sure had alot of time to build the site for this plane and write alot of stuff about it, so I tought I'll ask about it.

Might be an ex-experimental aircraft.

The photos sure look real, though. But i have to admit, the shape puts me off...

And i'm not sure the tail would really work... ;)

Come on please, believe me, it's fake, it's sci-fi. It's a HOAX. The whole 'company' is a hoax. Read their website for all the nonsense. It's fun though and someone or some people are having a big laugh!

By 2040, under Mr. Beskar’s leadership, Stavatti very well could be one of the world’s leading producers of military aircraft. Without Mr. Beskar, Stavatti will be no better than Dassault. In the event Mr. Beskar should pass away prior to completion of the business plan, a life insurance package naming Stavatti Corporation as the beneficiary will assist the corporation in completing SM-36 Stalma development.

Stavatti understands that occasionally customers are dissatisfied. Alternatively, sometimes a Congress orders just one too many jet fighters! In either case, sometimes a customer needs to return a product.

Stavatti maintains a Standard Return Policy whereby if a customer is not satisfied for any reason, a product in LIKE-NEW Condition may be returned to Stavatti within 30 days of initial delivery for a refund, exchange or credit to your account. Products which are returned to Stavatti that are NOT of LIKE-NEW Condition may be returned to Stavatti if done so within 30 days for an exchange or credit only.

14) Where will Stavatti be in 25 years?

In 2025 Stavatti will be the second largest domestic manufacturer of major military aircraft and the largest domestic exporter of fighter aircraft to NATO nations. Stavatti will be the fifth largest DoD prime contractor and the number one producer of manned aerospace vehicles. By 2050 Stavatti intends to have acquired major contractors including GEAE, Raytheon Systems Company, General Dynamics Armament Systems and Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Division from their respective parent companies.

It's very futuristic looking. Might be out of star wars or star trek.  :)

It might be a game, but SOMEONE sure did a LOT of work on the website

hey that picture looks like Wyvern out of Ace Combat Belkan War, but the game says its the next Euro Fighter??

in the game it has swing wings and a tail that folds down when you hit 400kmh,, its like completely flat then...

You play a lot of combat flight sims, don't you. Hm, but this thing is definitely a hoax. Look at the specs. And if you read carefully, it has a history of success alone. Even Boeing, Lockheed, Martin aircraft, etc didn't have that kind of success so soon... (ok, maybe MacDonald Douglas)

Anyway, with that kind of just-fuse everything that looks good onto a single airframe... ouch.

i know it dosent exist, but it looks like the Wyvern

and i only play Ace Combat
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Raptor on October 14, 2006, 10:26:49 AM
The Wyvern is, um... the Dragon in Ancient Empire's storyline
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Gripen on October 14, 2006, 10:28:04 AM
i dont know

its called the Wyvern in AC:BW
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Raptor on October 14, 2006, 10:42:23 AM
Hm, ok. shan't argue with you. Raptor out
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Webmaster on October 14, 2006, 03:49:27 PM
So what Wyvern are you talking about? Another make-up-doesn't-exist plane?

This is the only Wyvern I know...
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Raptor on October 14, 2006, 03:59:34 PM
Same here. The other one's probably fiction.
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Gripen on October 15, 2006, 03:50:50 AM
the Wyvern i was referring to is of a game

like i said numerous times
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Raptor on October 16, 2006, 08:52:12 AM
Ah. In AC:BW is that? Why can't they have more realistic game-play???

PLANES CANNOT CARRY 116 MISSILES

ESPECIALLY FIGHTERS
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Raptor on October 16, 2006, 09:11:58 AM
huh, you don't know the whole of it. An F/A-18 armed with A-10 weapons. And nothing else!!! Fighets don NOT carry 50 AGM-65s
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Gripen on October 16, 2006, 09:15:52 AM
all of the fighters have AA weapons

attackers have attack plane weapons

so you can get a F18 with A10

its just how it is

I still think AC 5 is WAY better

atleast it took me 3 days to finish, not 6 hours!

Get a sim you can't finish.
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma

i happen to have the sims!
Title: Re: F-26 Stalma
Post by: Raptor on November 11, 2006, 09:18:34 AM
Uh oh. I thought you didn't play any sims except combat ones. Has anyone tried the Microsoft combat flight simulator? It's pretty good, by comparicon to some. There's this flight sim that you load onto your browser too... I'll check back when i find it again. And, hey, Mr. Gripen, there's a F-18 sims by RAAF too. You might want to try it, except it stinks.
