    That depends of the designed mass-flow of the inlet, hence speed. For what we know (mach), it must fly lower and face greater drag on overall.
    I think I wrote this already some times ago.

    But for sure launcher and target speed, alt and aspect ratio dictate so much the NEZ size that there might be a configuration where one triple the second… and Vice versa

    Are you going to restart the same arguments of the band of forward thinking blogger here claiming that there was no needs for an advanced fighter in Europe, hundred of days only before the coalition efforts in Irak/Syria, the Ukraine’s european thinktanks adventure and the nuclear Russian presence in Syria? Are you?

    Austria need to field a performing weapon system from the very words of its own command structure. Otherwise they would just have pushed their Typhoon T1 aside et voilà.

    It would even make more sense if there was some provision made to clear the ramp for a single catapult for heavier launch like long range CoD or a tanker.

    But still a LRIP. This add to the natural state of confusion.
    How easy was it when “Mark” where what characterized every growth of the aircraft (think of the British Lightning for ex.).
    We have now a total LRIP order that will surpass the total production of the Rafale or Gripen.

    Growler Full Fleet Arrive In Australia (see link above)

    EDITOR’S NOTE: So far, Australia is the only F-35 customer to have prudently opted for a robust electronic warfare capability to back up the F-35’s much-vaunted, but fast-disappearing, “stealth” to protect its combat aircraft.)

    -ends-


    I fear the worst with this def-aero’s editor. He has become increasingly radicalized to the point of no return. Why do they keep him on the job is breathtakingly mind blowing every single day.

    What will comes next from him that stealth overflight raises women infertility?

    Do we understand right that the concerns with provisioning a jettisoning/podded capability are with the usage of high capacity batteries on a manned aircraft?
    This could get the attention of investors lured in many crazy flying car projects.

    Nice sum up.

    Good point but a subsonic trainer would be an aberration and certainly a soft spot in European skies.
    We have discussed this extensively already so no point going forward with this here.

    I am sure that the Teja will fit right in the equation.
