So are ya saying also D-21 ignored all physics ? Is politics same as ignoring that also small countries might need to defend themselves ?

I am glad you don’t keep repeating the flying coffin phrase again.

I might be inventing an universal stealth fighter which even the future radars cannot detect. This migh need the MLU like every 20 years till about 2100..and still burns only 600-800 liters / hr ( on economy drive ) and goes supersonic on supercruise. Not diamond nor gold plated but still ( and stings like a bee ).

:rolleyes:

ROFLMAO

Well this part of the D21 is probably the only part that is similar to your dream.

After flying the Photo Reconnaissance mission, the D-21 flew to friendly territory and the camera was ejected from the D-21 Drone. The cameras were recovered in flight by a C-130 mid-air recovery system. The D-21 drone would self-destruct at a low altitude.

The Japanese, after the extremely small agile flaming napalm tank Zero, tried this with the kamikaze.
Did not work too well, or does yours, if the pilot is still alive, after a mission, eject the pilot?

Finest politician of the U.K. since Churchhill

If only the conservatives in the U.S. could find a women, hell, or even a man that had half the intestinal fortitude she did.

Ignorant assessment. Nearly all the statements you have made are typically irrelevant and besides the point. The F-104 was a lot cheaper to purchase and maintain than an F-106. F-104G was a lot more multirole than the F-106.

Irrelevant to what?
The USAF was less than satisfied with the Starfighter and procured only 296 examples in single-seat and two-seat versions. At the time, USAF doctrine placed little importance on air superiority (the fighter-to-fighter mission), and the Starfighter was deemed inadequate for either the interceptor (meaning fighter-to-bomber) or tactical fighter-bomber role, lacking both payload capability and endurance compared to other USAF aircraft. Its U.S. service was quickly wound down after 1965. The last F-104As in regular USAF service were re-engined with more powerful and more reliable J79-GE-19 engines in 1967.
The last USAF Starfighters left active service in 1969. It continued in use with the Puerto Rico Air National Guard until 1975

OH my– over a decade before those expansive F-106 aeroplanes were retired.

As for your inept total ignorance, as you see, F-104 was created for the same reason the Six was created.

That European Air Forces were gullible enough to buy a pig-in-poke was their fault for falling for marvelous salesman hype.

The 104 was a nice looking airplane just lacking in too many ways.

OK Bunky now go play with your toys.

So are you making these up…Size capable of whitstand heavy damage to continue is life.

You are a poet aren’t ya..a story teller ?

I opened a topic where you can get yourself edumacated.

BTW: You cannot see from F-35….is that a bad feature ? Is it a flying coffin as well then ?

Young fella, your velocicraptor is balsa wood model airplane that simply physics shows may work in a cartoon world but no where else.

Of course there are lot of Mitsubishi Zero pilots in that big aerodrome in the sky who could probably tell you more about flying coffins than the Wiki.

My newest iPhone with a RAZR !

Mighty Raptor and Gekko in size comparison !

I am afraid that by the time your aircraft has acquired enough space to carry gear needed to function in combat scenario and not just be cannon or missile fodder it wil be up around fifty feet in length and thousands of pounds heavier.

As the old saying goes cannot have your cake and eat it too.

I am starting to think that calling it Lightning II fits for all the wrong reasons.

ALL hype little real ability.

Who is going to check, and by what standards, the doctors.

We could get into doctors operating on the wrong person, or performing the operation on the wrong part of the patients body.
