Hi, that was for the examples without DSI. Every unregulated inlet-system has a problem with pressure recovery at supersonic speeds.
There are several examples about that. A lower installed thrust F-14A reaches Mach 2,4 when a higher installed thrust F-14D with a fixed inlet is limited to Mach 1,88 f.e. Similar thing with Su-24, Tornado IDS, B-1B and many more.

Understood. Hence the DSI.

Most of suppliers to Auto industries are also suppliers to Aviation industries.

I don’t remember Bosch or Conti or Denso or Johnson Controls, or Delphi or Dearborn or Harman or Magnetti Marelli etc etc supplying to Airbus or Boeing or Dassault… Maybe you can show us their business reports.

GM/VW is practically saved by China.

I know most of the VW lineup ( Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda, Porsche, Audi, VW) The entire tech is developed in Germany. The only time I see Chinese being involved is during localisation and in some cases because Chinese Government does not allow certification to be done outside or because some information is not allowed to be taken outside like Navteq maps etc. EA888, B6, B3 Bluemotion, PDK, DSG, EWB, ENSS, quattro, TSI, W16, blah blah blah every damn thing is developed in Germany. I hear test runs in Ehra Lessien every week. 0 tests done in China. Only road test for locally manufactured kits. VW outsources manufacturing, SW, Support, Financing. Everything else is designed in EU!!! Same with Apple, Sony, Samsung, Intel, Seagate and 100000 other companies. Have you seen the top 500 Patent applicants in EU and US??? Its dominated by Japanese, US, S. Korean, German companies.

This kind of split up is typical right up to 300 or so

China is a labour and manufacturing base.
I can’t speak for GM. I live there for a year only.

With the Hundreds of JF 17s per week and thousands of J 10s per month manufacturing capability it would be safe to assume at least 500 J21s per month. So in a span of 1 year the PLAAF can create a swarm of J21s which eventually will be given AI and Fuzzy Logic to band together as a huge flying Battleship defeating any detection within any band of the EM spectrum.

Lord Rayleigh would be turning in his grave because the fuzzy thingy no longer scatters. MAD does not work because this whole fuzzy thingy is a titanium and composite wonder. Taiwan’s hope is to go back to the roots of Physics and maybe come up with some Gravitational Anomaly detector to warn of the approach of such a thingy. But whaddya know, this thing ejects the Higgs boson from the matter itself and thus is no longer affected by gravity.

GIGO:rolleyes:

PAK-FA is a more modern design compared to Berkut or MFI

Indeed it is. But what I meant was size wise.

It isn’t that already ??

Indeed, It is. But the Berkut is quite huge.

The key element here is “remains to be seen” until then all such claims of the abject inferiority of Chinese technology is suspect. China can build the J-20, it certainly can build something approximately in the class of the F-414.

Why is the RD 93 being used then?:confused::confused:

RD 93 is not even close to the F414-400 in terms of MTBO/Life span. Forget the EDE.

sure there is shortage of skilled people in most advanced western countries thats why so much work is outsourced. see Chinese parts used in Bombardier Trains.
if Germany/Japan decide to re armed on same scale as Russia/China Auto/Machine tools industries will simply collapse for lack of scientiest/engineers/skilled workers. and with collapse of those industries there will be no budget to fund arms industry.
Arms industry is very manpower, material and energy intensive industry.

Indeed, so true. How could we be so oblivious? Airbus, Boeing and Co would fall apart without Chinese skilled Engineers/scientists/Skilled workers. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, BAe, Areva, Siemens, Thyssenkrupp, MAN, VW … the list is endless indeed.:eek::eek:

But Sarko got Carla … 😀
She looks expensive…
