Why don't planes carry grappling hooks as a means of destroying or disabling smaller ones?
For example a C-130 could have commandos swing down from it and grapple onto an EMB-110. The C-130 would then pull upwards, lifting the EMB-110 up by its tail. The angle of attack of the EMB-110's wings would then cause them to rip right off.
This would even benefit smaller planes because they usually only have a few hundred rounds of ammunition for their cannons and only a few air to air missiles. When a plane runs out of ammo the pilot could grapple onto another plane and hijack it or steal the other plane's fuel and ammo.

Such a system would require a master plan to even work, and if it failed it would be extremely painful.
Are you Tom Clancy's son?
That plan sounds rather grandiose

You'd probably need an inside man too, to sneak in the target plane and help neutralize the crew. Him getting caught would have to be part of the plan.
>>33437717
This seems like a pretty complex operation with a lot of moving components. You'd need a people with a lot more loyalty than mere hired guns.

>>33437781
>Him getting caught would have to be part of the plan.
Of course.
Because the smaller plane would likely catch fire, and the fire rises.
>>33437717
you would need the right amount of big guys to do it right.
>>33437834
If your goal was to crash the plane with no survivors, wouldn't that count as a win

My friends dad was a p-3 pilot and he was super fun to drink and smoke cigars with!! Although I think he always got annoyed by all the geeky aviation questions I would ask him nonstop and also one time I told him and his old buddies a dirty story that they didnt find funny at all.
>>33437781
>You'd probably need an inside man too
uh...you don't get to bring friends
>>33437717
Putting my 2 cents here.
The newfound inflight load would shift the center of gravity of the C-130 rearward, especially when the Embraer's lifting surfaces are torn off, where it now serves as a drogue too. The C-130 would nose up, forcing itself to stall similar to the Bagram 747 crash.
In shorter terms, it wouldn't fly so good.

And the drag and weight from the fuselage would cause the C-130 to crash

Baneposting aside, was the tactics the bane brigade used to capture CIA's plane realistic in any way? is it possible to capture a plane in mid flight? or would there just be no survivors as both planes would get fucked because of it?
>>33442596
That's one way to make the fire rise, I suppose
>>33442558
>>33442704
No charge for them.
>>33444376
Honestly, Cliffhanger did it better, and when a Stallone movie is more plausible, you know it's unlikely.

The best part is, they actually did the stunt pre CGI, with a stuntman on a wire between two aircraft, so awesome.
last time they tried Steven Seagull died,got called a fag and punched John Wick mechanic for the sake of it
>>33438369
I saw this first in a Book I bought when kid, a few years later I saw it in an airshow. I almost shited myself with the exitement of seing the real thing
>mfw
>>33437717
I don't think such plan is possible
it would be quite difficult in order to that pull off
Bane posting aside I remember reading a book about a steam/biopunk WWI. The English would use eagles with nets to gut the delicate frame of some aircraft.
It reminds me of those blimp with chains Britain would use to stop the V-1's
Why not combining both and having a drone placing a net into an aircraft to either stop it's engines or fuck with the airflow. I suppose thet it would be cheaper than conventional explosives and fit for a defensive role; just place those cheap, almost invisible nets into the aircraft's predicted path and they might change their course for something less dangerous but with a worse attack opportunity, or get destroyed
This is a big thread

>Beechcraft starship
Heavy fucking breathing.
My aero tastes are a lot like my firearm tastes. If it's not classic, then space magic. Blended wings tend to be the most aesthetic, but I love me some pusher props and canards. Boxwings are cool too, but you never see them in practice
There were shitloads of pic related based at the airport where I learned to fly. Did a lot of drooling. Nowadays seriously considering a LongEz
When this board is in ashes, then this thread would have my permission to die.
>>33447770
Can't go wrong with the LongEZ. Rutan is a fine guy.
Shame bout the starships though, less than ten remain. Most got destroyed by Beechcraft.

It would have to be a big plane for the plan to work. Not sure if the passengers inside might be hurt however..
>>33444436
And why would I want them?

It's actually better that way, the meme wouldn't die as fast. An occassional thread to activate some almonds, a plane crash here, and the meme is set for another year.
Also because /tv/ mods are Hitler.
>>33450821
/tv/ is one of the worst board on this site
most other boards you can at least have some kind of conversation

>Why don't planes carry grappling hooks as a means of destroying or disabling smaller ones?
Because it's less risky to shoot it down with a cannon or a missile. You need to take into acct that the potential risk of such "Bane maneuver" is essentially crashing both planes, with no survivors. Since it's probably downright impossible to do something like that.
