[@edwardscott3262]

I've often thought a very cheap modern biplane built in the tens of thousands would be extremely useful. We could consider them like ultralights and let enlisted fly them. Make them just big enough to carry one machine gun and one bomb. We could also design in the capability to be readily converted to a pilotless drone. Then any time we planned an attack on a near peer enemy we'd have tens of thousands of the dirt cheap things. All made cheaply enough that whatever they shoot one down with is more valuable than the drone we lost. We could completely over saturate enemy air defenses with thousands of the things. All programmed to bomb a useful target. While their enemy air defenses are all distracted with the cheap biplane drones our more valuable traditional aircraft could bomb the shit out of anything necessary. When not doing that type of thing the dirt cheap biplanes could be piloted by enlisted. Flying close air support for ground troops. We'd have so many they could cover an entire battlefield. Flying the things in close air support would be no more dangerous than trying to survive on the ground in a modern near peer war. With real pilots they couldn't be jammed or anything like that. And at the worst most dangerous times they could be switched to drone operation.

Given how Po-2s were dogfighting real fast Bf109s during WWII, this wouldn’t be too far-fetched

[@DedicatedCaffeineUser]

Po-2s were used even as late as the Vietnam war. It’s the only biplane with a confirmed jet kill. It flew too low and too slow for jets to properly engage it in a dogfight, leading many jet pilots to slow below their stall speed in order to get a clear shot on it

[@egoalter1276]

Thats like the performance of a CR32 Falco, an italian biplane fighter from the mid 30s. Crazy how far technology evolved in 15 years.

"warranty void if aircraft exposed to air"

[@luizricardo3510]

Ok, hear me out, if you go into battle against a f22 with ten of those little things, the f22 will not be capable of taking on all of the aircrafts at once, and, as the cheap airplane is capable of turning like a fucking mosquito, that means that if you have a group of around 10 cheap ariplanes per f22, there is a very good chance of you wining, and because the airplane is cheaper than a lada, you can make unbelievable amounts of it. The only thing you would have to consider is being shot from BVR, but you can counter this issue by taking off just at the right time, as this airplane is very light and capable of taking off in pretty much any highway or even plane terrain.

I love this design other than the machine gun muzzles being that close to the pilot; if they are .50 caliber or even .30 caliber then the muzzle blast from both of them firing would likely be blinding and uncomfortable or even potentially painful and dangerous.

Modernization kit might need to include some flaps to help with those landings. Or maybe add some doors that the pilot could open as an air brake upon landing? Parachute for the pilot? Just strap it to the top of the wings; the whole thing could come down with a parachute. I suppose if you beef up the tires or make the landing gear longer you could sling the AIM-9's or rocket pods to the under belly. Do you suppose an autogyro would make for an equally cost effective super fighter?
