Book Description
The aircraft included here are claimed to be some of the most sophisticated military aircraft in the world and should be taken very seriously by any adversary. I am listing the aircraft in numerical order and include the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) designation if there is one. I don't know if all the aircraft are real or wishful thinking. What I do know is that just because a person has a set of blueprints to make an exact replica of a particular aircraft doesn't mean that the aircraft will function in the same manner. Today's aircraft are just as reliant on the software that operates the fly-by-wire controls as they are on the skill of the pilot. Even if a person has the right materials (metallurgy being very important) and can machine the parts properly, they still have to assemble and test the final product. The aircraft covered include: H6N, H-20, J-7, JH-7, J-8, J-10, J-11, J-14, J-15, J-18, J-20, J-26, J-31, Su-27, Su-30, Su-35, SA342L, Z-8, Z-9, Z-18, Ka-28, Mi-17, Chinese Osprey, WZ-8, GJ-11 and CH-7.
