Why is Russia's new supersonic biz-jet concept painted camouflage?

נשלח לפני
 
Russia's Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) -- think NASA's Langley Research Centre -- is working on a new supersonic business jet. We'd really just like to know why TsAGI decided to paint the concept aircraft in drab olive green, the colour of World War II-era camouflage. Maybe the "green" marketing meme has made its way into Russian design offices. Of course, associating the environmental green with anything that flies supersonic is a bit of a stretch.… (www.flightglobal.com) עוד...

How to develop a Tupolev airplane.
1) Take pictures of American airplane
2) Trace in pencil
3) Change slightly
4) Build

They used to be original.... until the Tu-204, which looks like a stolen 757 to me.

Don't forget about their version of the Space Shuttle. It was a completely original idea!

And if you believe that, I have beachfront property in Arizona I'll sell you for cheap!

The Buran was slightly more advanced in some aspects - it was able to land pilotless. Shuttle cannot do that - give the ruskies some credit, they are copycats, but some of their stuff is quite clever, they just typically don't have the same financial resources to compete with the scale of the US aerospace industry, although that's changing now - how are you going to hitch a ride to the ISS these days?

Whenever they rear their head into our airspace, Sarah Palin can keep an eye on them.

Argh this is frustrating - trying to leave a comment on that page and cannot log in.

Replying to the Angus F comment : 'Well the G650 is not painted green in that picture. The green is a protective coating on the fuselage that will be washed off when the actual paint job is applied.'

Washed off? Hope not - that's the zinc chromate primer!

It looks more like a fighter than a bizjet, and it's really camo it's just darkish green.

Looks like a plain 3D Polygon that was not textured (color added to it), then just place over a picture of sky and ground. Either way, it's Russian, so it will never make it past someone's desktop wallpaper.

Does not look like a real picture. Looks more like a computer drawing or cad concept. Looking at the picture, it feels computer generated. Maybe constructed in a program called Light Wave.

perhaps a UAV rendering probably from the Russian skunkworks...

Really,this is your burning question of the day? How about the CAD operator wanted a color to stand out against the blue sky so he clicked green from the paint bucket. I doubt it is nothing more 'sinister' than this.

Walt, Please stop using logic and common sense immediately. That is clearly uncalled for on this forum.

Nothing sinister at all. That is considered a happy colour over there...

the Russians have never actualy made anything that flies as a 'civilian' aircraft. Everything has a military design or intended use...sometime, somewhere
