May I know "Useful" for what? Do we have a need for long range SAR duties that can be done by more useful and "Less maintenance needed" land based Naval planes like Orions, or Friendships supported by fast inshore patrol vesels produced by KSEW????

We can not just shop around for anyhing new coming up on radar.
 
oh my god you people are Ignorent

You just looked at the fae of xample

You know what is the qulaity of 6th Generation Jet

OH my God who illiterate....................

Just look at

Amphibious air crafts are the ones

who can change there wing shape during flight

You ppl just know that fighters has wings close to triangle shape to some how

COz they need spped and MANurbilty bla bla

But Strategic bombers which can fly so long has less spread and long WIngs


Now look at birds

When they travel long they change there wings to shape that of bombers

when they fly for short distance and be speedy they just make there wings delta


Oh my god where you ppl live

:rofl:

It is not like the Be-103 (or other known amphibian) has variable geometry wings or a mission adaptive wing. At best it vaguely resembles a blended wing design.

So, be carefull before you call someone ignorant.

Dear Zavis 2003

After Penguins' response ......

To add to Penguins response, Variable Geometry Winged A/c need specialized maintenance which we lack at present and would require a lot of added cost of building up specialised maintenance facility.

I think you mistook the Be 103 for what it is not.

BTW you have still not answered our question Why you feel it is usefull?
