It's a well crafted piece of fiction. It was doing the rounds of the russian and chinese sites last year as well.

nice work - but its a dud job.

Stavatti were also associated with a laser rifle as I recall.

Overview:
The F-26 STALMA (Short Takeoff Advanced Light Multi-role Aircraft) is an advanced, sixth generation multi-role fighter suitable for Direct Commercial Sales to US and NATO/allies. Designed to replace F-16C and F/A-18C/E combat aircraft in US and NATO air arms, the F-26 is a single seat, single engine, high performance weapon system incorporating variable geometry, supercruise, pitch/yaw thrust vectoring, integrated avionics, enhanced agility and low observability characteristics. Conceived for maximum performance and combat capability, the F-26 is designed for all-weather, supersonic operation at both low and high altitudes. Optimized for air-to-air interception, combat air patrol, air dominance, close-in air-to-air engagements ('dogfight'), carrier air defense, anti-shipping strike, wild weasel/anti-radiation strike, all weather precision attack, interdiction, battlefield close air support, suppression of enemy air defenses, tactical reconnaissance, conventional bombing and tactical nuclear penetration, the F-26 STALMA will counter threats to US and NATO allied air superiority.

Re: F-26 Stalma

Only it's not real...Someone made a very elaborate hoax site. :

See this thread:

[EnigmaNZ]

Dam, and I just finished convincing our Minister of Defence to include it in the next budget round. I fell in love with it as well when I first ran into it last year, I wonder if it is designed to elicit a "wow I can't shoot such a thing of beauty" even as it's own AAM are heading your way hehe.

 

[EnigmaNZ]

Stavatti were also associated with a laser rifle as I recall.

Ah, I remember that.

"DefRev has obtained the original "white paper" proposal that was submitted to the U.S. Army for the Stavatti TIS-1 (Tactical Infantry System-1) Gasdynamic Laser Weapon. The TIS-1 is a laser rifle that utilizes a hypersonic jet of gas to create photonic energy in the form a very powerful laser. Thus the term "gasdynamic". The Stavatti TIS-1 was submitted as a possible technology for the U.S. Army's LFLAN requirement. "LFLAN" stands for "Light Fighter Lethality After Next". LFLAN involves small arms technology proposals that would not be implemented until 15-25 years down the road. In other words, truly futuristic technology."

http://www.defensereview.com/352003/TIS1.pdf

"LASER RIFLE" DESIGN A HOAX

It's the kind of proposal that makes sci-fi dorks (including this one) quiver with anticipation: a 1999 design, found by DefenseReview, for a real-life laser rifle.

So when I read about the far-out sounding "Gasdynamic Laser Weapon" on Slashdot, I fell for it.

Without reading too carefully, I bought the gobbledygook about the Stavatti Corporation using streams of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and helium gases to help generate pulses of laser light. And I swallowed when I called the company, and was told the president was out of town, looking for government funding.

But Defense Tech's readers are smarter than its editor, and they immediately called bullshit.

http://www.defensetech.org/archives/000009.html

Ah well, then I guess the designs here are bogus as well, hehe, the old saying comes to mind. "If it seems to good to be true, then it probably isn't"

Normally I would PM but seeing as it seems to be out there already, just FYI GF

Found this quote on the net and the links check out

"...

Chris Beskar is a respected member of the aviation community and serves on technical committees for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=234&id=75).

He also manages the annual national design competition that is held each year (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics - Design Competition Guidelines).

His work gained national prominence recently when his Machete design was highlighted in a Rand Report which was a study on counterinsurgency aircraft for the Air Force (Aviation Week 14 August 2006).

History is full of scientists and engineers that were called crack-pots during their time, and were reported as visionaries by later generations. I for one, am going to join some of the others out there who are keeping an eye on this high-tech visionary.

..."

I did a bit more sniffing around (4 years) and found out from different sources that he was rubbing shoulders with C. Johnson before he died in 1990. That gave me pause...As you know, old men tend to mentor new talent.

So, not fiction. Poorly delivered message, yes. But definitely a serious pre-start up venture. i.e. Not a Kopp and Goon show.

Beskar seems to be acquiring more discipline from the "idea a minute" rabbit that you could have accused him of being 10 years ago.

cheers

Geez mate did you get him to actually make a decision? I see he was telling different story to the PM on tonights news. Suppose he's not concerned anymore as he retires in less than 8 weeks with all his perks and payouts.
