not all shoot down leads to mid-air explosion.

Unless the Malaysians were lying.

Just guessing:
What if the aircraft turned around without com/transponder due to system failure or hijack, and the Malaysian shot them down because there was no responce?
And now they are just trying hard to cover up?

I’m sure something more substantial could be implemented, what with the internet now being introduced onto airliners, as well as the substantial data feeds that can be achieved using UAV systems like real time video feeds. A few key parameters (e.g. engine readings, GPS location, air speed, heading, altitude, AoA etc) along with voice data from the cockpit could easily be sent via sat link, and stored. Would save on having the need to constantly search for the flight data recorder. What size of data is recorded by those things anyway, is it in the terabyte range or lower?

Voice data would massively increase the bandwidth required for transmission, therefore information might not be able to get sent before it’s damaged in crash.
At current stage I would assume its only feasible (also cost wise) if only text information gets updated in every few minutes, and a burst transmission when **** happens.
Won’t help much for investigation I guess, but will defiantly help the search and rescue missions.

How feasible is it for the flight data recorder to send data via satellite link to some on-shore location where it can be stored, kinda like a cloud based solution? This would really help and get away from the constant need to find the flight data recorder, especially in challenging locations. I’m sure with current technology this could be done.

depend on the amont of data you want to send, and the cost you want to pay.
The Chinese Beidou SatNav system do have a text uplink available, most ships in China now have two-way terminals and the system has reportedly saved lot’s of ships out of trouble.

It would be feasible for aircraft to automaticly upload simple text data in emergency, like time, location, air speed, altitude etc.

1.The aircraft had history of ground collision
2.Can’t rule out the possiblity of Terrorist Attack.

There’s some hint of 2D TVC planning there, rather interesting…

The small LERX infront of canard is gone.

interesting theory seen here 🙂
The missile could possibly be launched with the door shut

There are countless videos about all sorts of funny landings with in service aircraft.
And the one with Y-20 I wouldn’t even call it an issue.

Spoiler does change the pitch moment of the aircraft and changes the flow on the tail. It always take some getting used to for any new aircraft, and that was the very first landing.

Interesting that even a girl in what looks like a workers dormitory is joining in. This has obviously been widely followed.

if you meant the girl with the yellow top, that is a typical university dorm layout:D
not up to a nice standard, but hell a whole year there probably cost the same as a week’s rent for a student flat in UK…

they’ve put the plane on a set of white cylinders, air quality is not so good, what kind of test they were performing ?shouldn’t they have a room with clean air to perform such kind of tests?

most likely some radar RCS tests

Someone was saying in another thread that the fact that 2002 has a pitot , it meens it won’t have an AESA installed ( or at least it will only have a MSA).

Looking on the net , i found two AESA equipped aircraft that still have a pitot, F-2A and MiG-35. Perhaps there is a way to “cancel” the effect of pitot tube on and AESA anyway ( software?).

PESA equipped a/c like MiG31 and Su-30MKI also have pitot ( dunno how relevant that is or not).

I’ve been puzzled why did they moved the pitot though. If it doesn’t have a radar in afterall , maybe it will have a dielectrical radome ( to test it ), but they didn’t wanted to make a hole in it to put the pitot in the same position as on 2001?

Or maybe the position of the pitot influenced too much the aerodinamic testing results, so they moved in on the radome tip to minimise it’s effects?:confused:

Just thinking out loud.

causing unsymmetrical nose vortex?

the whole purpose of a DSI is to have cheaper and lighter solution for supersonic aircraft, not the best performing one

you want performance, you’ll have to adjust the airflow permanently (which is what the MIII did, as well as the Mk2, F-15 and, basically, any fighter (or aircraft for that matter) going past M2.0

what about F-22?:D
