I'd like to apologize in advance to the site owners, moderators and contributors for this, since it doesn't have any direct relevance to the Phantom Eye demonstrator. But enough is enough.
Sublight,
I fail to see how LTA platforms have any relevance to Boeing's HALE concept.
You have tried to tie your "Stealth Blimp" beliefs to countless topics over the past few years without contributing any factual information to the subjects at hand. You have attempted to link, without a shred of evidence, your theories to the Senior Citizen, "active stealth", Tier III........the list goes on. Your comments, while usually simply a nuisance, have actually derailed useful discussions within the forum.
I'll go ahead and say it - this forum is home to, probably, a majority of the leading experts on advanced projects on the planet, including esteemed aviation writers and artists, world famous engineers, pilots and many others. You have attacked individuals who have contributed more to our understanding of advanced projects than any other group that I am aware of.
This board is dedicated to objective research based on discussion and sharing of verifiable evidence. Information gathered, analyzed and compiled by individuals on this site has been cited by many of the leading aerospace publications in the world - most recently, for information uncovered on the PAK-FA/T-50. More than any other forum or publication, it serves not only to satisfy the curiosity of us aerospace enthusiasts, but more importantly preserves the legacy of the unacknowledged engineers, project managers, and test pilots involved in creating these projects. Their contributions are awe inspiring, but will probably forever live in obscurity due to security classifications and other restrictions. Many of them are no longer with us, and it's certainly possible that some may have even given their lives in the pursuit of this technology. Let's not disrespect their accomplishments, or the stature of the members of this group, with wild speculation based on belief and not any sort of verifiable facts. There are plenty of places where discussion based on fantasy and wishes are welcome.
I believe that it goes without saying that this is not the place for this.
Once again, I apologize for this rant, but it had to be said.
