I agree with you Greg, but you know we're talking about this particular PM we have the pleasure of at the moment ---

It would be nice if it was the F-35, but my guess is the Super Hornet --- But who knows, we have an election in a couple of months time ---

No, but if this is a super secret new aircraft, why would you believe what has been shown. Nobody expected the F-117 looking like it did after all the ""official"" renderings of that aircraft, now did they ---

Sort of like the roof flap NASCAR cars have now to stop them going airborne when sliding sidewards ?

What would a 'hardware' fix involve ? To my mind, the aircraft still has to fly safe if the software fails again ---

If no one has seen it, how do we know the inlet shape is all wrong ?

Yeah, but comparing him to a prat like Clarkson ------

I'd admit I'm no expert on the subject, it was just something I was told. I did some calculations on prop tip speed on the V-22 and realized that the prop-rotor doesn't rotate very fast, somewhere around 250 rpm when in forward flight. That prop tip speed plus advertised forward speed puts it...

Now that is really interesting Chris, I had thought about doing something similar with an A320/321 fuselage.

This is the photo of the T.12 slung under a B-29. Notice the fairing on the underside of the wing root where the spars had to be re-enforced to take the weight. EDIT: Photo was provided by Boeing Archives with a license which doesn't restrict me where I use it.

There's considerable difference in bomb size between the two, I don't have a picture of real one together, but I do have this in 1/72 scale. The really big one is a T.12 made from dimensions I found on a website about the T.12.

I don't see any Tall Boy in the article :confused:

I wonder if Turkey has been sold a 'dumbed down' version of the S-400, I can't imagine Russia not being aware of the west trying to get their hands on one.

Coincidentally, this news article just came up on Microsoft News. I live near Calgary. https://a.msn.com/r/2/AAEzQHd?m=en-ca&referrerID=InAppShare

I've got a high resolution photo of that picture from Boeing, when you look it over with a magnifying glass, there's a guy's face looking out that side bubble window, clear as day --- You'll notice the notch in the trailing edge of the flap there too --- As an aside, my Dad served in 617...

Actually, those are two Grand Slams. I've got a number of photos from the Boeing Archive (with licenses) and one of them shows a B-29 with a T.12 mounted (which is a bomb twice as heavy as a Grand Slam) A way to tell what bomb is being carried is by the number of chains holding the bomb to the...

I think it should be called after a ray, stingray, manta ray, something like that ---

Oops, never watched it, went right over my head ----:p

I'd say that the 767/787 also couldn't go to the majority of regional airports that the 737 serves. When I was at YYC, I saw that the 767/787's carried huge amounts of cargo which they couldn't do at the regionals, so would be under utilized --

I've been told the V-22 prop-rotor has 2-speeds, high speed for vertical flight mode, low speed for forward flight mode.
