Hi All,
Sintra many thanks for the info provided,with all the expenditure on the current 5th generation fighter any Idea why talk has started about a 6th generation fighter when clearly they have not sorted the problems out with the upgrading to the 5th gen fighters ? I would of thought getting the JSF operating efficiently was more urgent than worrying what comes next let alone asking for funding when most country’s do not it to spare being tied up in the JSF programme ?

[QUOTE=Sintra;2045951]Short answer, no one knows, that includes Philip Hammond and George Osborne.

Hi Sintra,
Many thanks for the reply and for the site info. while I realise that the more airframes bought the cheaper each airframe becomes but is it not a case now that because the total number inc.navy having been slashed quite severely (which obviously then makes each airframe that more expensive) would it not have more cost effective by developing the Harrier/Sea Harrier further with either another engine giving one engine to each set of vector nosels or a more powerful Pegasus i.e. plenium chamber burning (development problems being cured)
With the programme costs overrunning like they have plus the software problems with the new helmet integration as (am I right in saying there is an down graded helmet offer as a sticking plaster ?) it just seems to be a black whole as far as costs go ?

The XB-67 Moonbat I think this would have been a contender had it reached combat/frontline service quite advanced wing and body blending for the time, like a bit of American stuff here are two views of the aircraft and a video enjoy
