More I say.
We need Hi-res versión of This!
Some dates are confusing like why does the ME262 say ‘44?
What’s the lore reason for modern Euro planes being mid?
UK bias. Includes the Gnat but not the Saab 105/SK60… 🙂
And it seems that Finland doesn’t have airforce at all. Well done.
The italian G 91 shown here is actually a G 91 Y, wich entered service more than a decade after, its less of a variant and more of a completely new plane, its relation to the G 91R is similar to what the F-5 is to the F-18, yes obviously a follow up design, but very different.
Also this graph is kinda, wacky? It lists not really famous or quite good planes like the Tunnan, but lacks some of the most important planes like the italian MB 326.
Pick one, go!
The Fouga Magister should be on that list, although technically a trainer it was used as a ground attack / CAS aircraft by several countries including Finland as the number of “true” combat aircraft they could have was heavily limited by a treaty they had with Russia.
I feel like this is a bit old, isn’t it? Or are these just the European made fighters? Because Some countries have already adopted the F-35
The Blackburn Buccaneer is missing from the list.
Is scale correct? If yes, Viggen was really chonky. I suppose it is due to Boeing 727 engine.
The lightning is a personal favourite of mine both because it’s utterly abysmal endurance (because who needs fuel if you go really fast) and design.
Why so few in the 60’s (apart from the very beginning)?
No new jets in the last 20 years is not a great sign, though hopefully the two sixth gen fighter projects will come through.
Scrap metal compared to the US.
Europe does build some mean machines. Definitely a tradition to continue with FCAS and GCAP and all of their associated subsystems.
