so did the consortium will use false datas to thier clients? about turn rate ratio, T/W and supercruise blah blah they done for the last 10 years with a 9.675t empty plane project?
exemple,
Eurofighter 2010 got good Mecanical radar but “no Aesa” No SAR, No GUN, a old pirate and Flir concept, helmet?tranche 3?, no big boys ECM or active cancellation tricks, old seat, no side’s hotas stick, 13 hardpoint “3 wet”, CFT? and 750nm range,AoA “with 4t fuel and 8 Air to air missiles” ERJ200 no afterburn 60kN T/W ratio to supercruise = 120kN /(12t+5t=17t*9.8=167kN)= 0.72
Rafale 2010 will have SAR, Helmet sigh, AESA “1500 cells in 2005”, OSF TV suite, Active cancellation,Seat special G “32°”,2 Hotas sticks, 14 hardpoints “5 wet” CFT, and 1080nms range, Mach 2.1 Max speed,AoA “with 4t fuel and 4 Air to air missiles + 2 Scalp” M88-2E5 without after burn 56kN T/W ratio= 112kN /(9.2t+5t=14.2t*9.8=137kN)= 0.81
curious, under 1 no supercruise!
so maybe the pilots will fight slick of weapons, and light fuel to finish the fight with a 357 magnum throut out the cokpit glass!
