No don't think I've ever seen an LVTP7-AAAV kicking up that much of a wake.

Frans, the LVTP-7 (AAV-7) and the EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle) are two different beasts, the former capable of only about 6 mph in the water and the latter supposedly three times that (assuming it holds together and the occupants don't have their brains rattled out of their skulls, IIRC they're still working on that [8|] ).



danrhayes -> RE: Harpoon 3 ANW Platform Photo ID Test (3/30/2007 5:29:28 PM)

Okay, so you meant the EFV. I didn't think this one would last long but as I said its quite an interesting craft. Apparently capable of waters speeds of between 37-46km/h (20-25knots) it is certainly a zippy performer.

It does bring up some interesting possibilities, perhaps this will be how the USMC arrives on your shores some time in the future.

Too bad that they are not in uniform............[:'(]






CV32 -> RE: Harpoon 3 ANW Platform Photo ID Test (3/30/2007 9:07:08 PM)

Actually, given today's news, I think the new uniform will likely look something like this:

Apologies to Darren for hijacking the thread, but Dan started it. [:'(]

Well its gone quiet again so here is another one. Sorry about the size, its sometime hard to find big enough pics of the interesting stuff. This one shouldn't be too hard regardless.

I dont suppose it is next years McLaren-Mercedes ? Oh sorry , wrong forum, I'll go away now.

not much ground clearance for a manned plane , is it a rocket of sorts...



danrhayes -> RE: Harpoon 3 ANW Platform Photo ID Test (4/5/2007 4:46:52 AM)

Nah not a rocket, in fact its performance proved to be a little disappointing.

Dimitris -> RE: Harpoon 3 ANW Platform Photo ID Test (4/5/2007 2:24:39 PM)

That's the HAL HF-24 Marut. Good design (by Kurt Tank no less) but let down by inadequate powerplant.



danrhayes -> RE: Harpoon 3 ANW Platform Photo ID Test (4/5/2007 4:01:32 PM)

Yep thats the one.
