A "B720-023" actually !

Hardly the most elegant looking of the many B707/720 theme variations aye !

It is a 720-023B. Look at the engines on the photo. They're fanjet-engines and not the older turbojet-engines. I think somebody requested this bird a while ago. I would like to see this bird with all this extensions, probes, etc. But for that wish somebody must build a new model-file for the 720B.

Cheers,

Klaus

"YEAH" .... I realise that, but, feeling absolutely exausted when I replied yesterday .... I just forgot to add the "B" suffix .... a minor detail really !

"YES" .... it has come up before .... as did another version too which tested a turboprop engine on the nose.

Personally .... I don't think it's worth labouring over a new model for what will ultimately become a lone repaint .... which is also why we've never bothered altering our existing B707-320C to reflect the SAHA AIRWAYS configuration ((a casterated tanker). This particular B720-B might have uniqueness .... but .... it's hardly sufficiently historically important.

I'd request Gary do a very rare B720-B/F freighter before I ever requisitioned the above subject.

We can justify a B720-B/F model by getting at least get 2 or 3 rare repaints done for it !

SORRY !

The red and white scheme is nice- but as for the rest of the mods- only a mother could love them.

I dunno, I got a fetish for weird oh-sevens (which explains my obsession with RC-135's). I could learn to love her; she's sexy in a guilty pleasure kind of way.

Oh the horror of the long links!

Hey Bob, at the top of all of those pictures is a thing that says "Link to this picture:" and then a URL - please edit your post to use those. These are what you're supposed to use to link to A.NET photos.

changed as per instructions, thanks a lot easier, don't know a lot of terms for adding things on to websites but am learning,

No problem Bob. The PW test bird is definitely a unique aircraft. Question is - if Gary was to model it, which configuration would he do it in? At one time it had a massive 8-bladed turboprop in that massive nosecone. If FS allowed you to "cut and paste" modules, it might work since you could have the model itself with all of the mounting surfaces and then click on what equipment you want attached and the flight model would automatically be adjusted for it...

Oh well, dreaming again...

Here's a couple of pics with the big turboprop (6-bladed, not 8 as I remembered) -

And one with the largest engine they can install on the side of the fuselage -

www.airliners.net/open.file/0116014/M/

BTW, that last engine (the PW305) was at one time proposed as a possibility for installation on older Hawkers to make them CAT IV noise compliant. Would have been interesting since the PW305 is what powers the Hawker 1000, an aircraft almost 1/3 larger than the original Hawkers.

Mmm... maybe 3 models with 3 configs....
1: Huge prop on front pylon
2: V2500 on right inner
3: Small engine on nose pylon

But does anyone know where the hatch-like structure on the roof is for? Can they lift an engine out of the fuselage or something (just like the Tu-16 engine testbed where they lowered the test subject from the bomb bay)

I think it's the weather radar, because they need the space for the testings of the turbo-prop engines.

He's talking about the bare-metal backbone. I think it's some sort of cooling panel, not a hatch. They have a lot of equipment inside, so it could be a heat-exchanger underneath that section of skin, so it's unpainted because of the heat produced.
Posted by Gary Carlson - HJG on 11 Apr, 2007, 11:23pm
I think if I did this it would end up having no additional motors, especially the turbo prop. I'm just thinking there is no way to make it all work (or appear to work) correctly.
