One thing bugs me…the X-31 goes 1.28 M but similar engine Gripen Mach 2.0 ?

Frontal area? Think F4J or F4M…

I mentioned the wobbly and here are two pictures. Question. What were they used for?

That was a question. 🙂

My identification of anything that doesn’t have just one wing and one or more propellers is less than expert too.

My problem too. If it’s military and I worked on it I recognise them. Civil stuff I worked on was fleeting.

I don’t think the 125 has a lift up section to the door does it?

Moggy

My bad then.

It looks a bit like a HS 125 but I’m not an expert at recognition.

An indication problem?

I think the point being made about the Concorde accident was that it was “something critical” dropping off another aircraft which punctured the tyre. And the actual debris didn’t puncture the tank, it set up an internal shockwave which burst the tank in another place. But that’s nitpicking.

Swiss cheese model did play a role. I was just keeping it short. I know what happened, I have read the report fully..

The NTSB are asking themselves the same questions and will of course come up with the answers.

A blow-out (tyre). Debris punctured a fuel tank which ignited.

Reading that begs a question. How can that engine suffer an uncontained compressor failure? If an engine is not capable of containing the failure of a component, the component must be built so strong that it statistically cannot fail… A short precis of the good book.
Begs another question, what caused the failure then, manufacture or servicing?

Rumour has it that it was designed by a team of Irish draughtsmen

The Dutch would say Belgians, however, the Belgians would say Dutch…..

It’s pretty common NOT to translate names. AFAIK nobody translated Starfighter into anything else, for example.

Widow maker?
