Actually, the ranking is based on some obscure calculation (never bothered to check it) about how long you have been a member of this asylum, and how much nonsense, I mean, material you’ve posted here.

But it’s largely irrelevant, as you can change that in the user control panel.

Everything else Creaking Door said is largely true.

CD: Cattle prod, eh ? That won’t solve the issue in that case… Sound will still be produced, and it might end up as a record that teenagers will squeal in unison. On the plus side, maybe all the fans will try the same, sparing us a new generation… :p

Rob, look up the Missileer concept. Never went very far.

Topspeed,

While I can only applaud thinking outside the box, this is nonsense.

IF you need fighters to defend your AEW plane, you did something wrong. That plane should be far behind, and protected by other means. I think we could safely say that an E-3 over the Channel can see as far as the Med.
AEW systems are not low cost, small nation hardware.
Your light fighters are probably well suited for light attack / asymetric warfare. Not as interceptors. An interceptor needs a lot of power to be able to catch the bad guys as far as possible out. Or your high value assets (in this case the AEW plane) will be destroyed. Who cares about stealthy ? Being visible could end up in a soft kill, of the aggressor aborts the mission. Plus, the AEW plane is not stealthy.
And last question. What happens to the interceptor and its pilot once he’s done with the mission? It surely does not have the range to land at home, and hooking to a mothership, well, look up what happened to parasite fighters before.
Sorry, but you make no sense.

Right Derek..this is not intented to fly at nite…yes and I might use the passengers to retract the gear and produce power ( APU ). The power required is very low..so they don’t have to sweat and can take turns…but have no cramps…and stay fit ! Elderly and children don’t have to pedal.

In decent the props rotate to make energy even after sun has gone down !

I have already demostrated that a passenger room can be 1/8 of the present standard and still be manageable..less comfort..possibly. Easier to pressurize…using existing structures…yes !

With the speed it flies at, you’ll have to fly at night as well.

You’d have to sedate passengers to have them agree to fly in such a confined space. But of course, they won’t produce power. Unless … Have you seen Matrix ?

For my part, I’ll take the train, thank you very much.

Ok so electricity cannot be produced by electric solar aeroplane…and it is against physics ?

I will have fun with my forum…thank you very much.

Let me rephrase: you would need more electricity than your panels could produce (I’m not even talking using electricity to propel the plane, but only to power the radar and associated electronics).

Just an insight: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-400_(SAM)

My advice: solar is good for RC planes. Forget about it to carry humans. Solar cells simply can’t produce enough energy, at least for now.

Hydrogen tanks ? Are you serious ?

As for a Mach 1.5 plane with props, forget it, that will not work. Even if I forget aerodynamic questions, structurally, the props will not survive.

If all this was so simple, you can be sure that Boeing, Airbus and the others would have done it already.

I’ll repeat myself, go back to RC planes. There you will have interesting applications, some of which that you even might be able to market.

Say nothing against Kylie or you are a dead man :mad::love-struck::D

Don’t worry, I think they were talking about music here anyway.. :p

No, we don’t. Another reason why it’s above it. 😉
