It’s a mater of drag. They try to make it more efficient than a proven, now deemed classic design (T50). With a single tall fin, they cut drag, section area and hence even more drag, overall size (length) that can then be reinvested in the front section to make for more staggered seating but with smooth lines etc…

Balancing a perfect design is a difficult exercise and then you have to exploit the inherent advantages of your resulting choices. For the Boeing we can guess that acceleration and climb could be that.
For the Northrop aero efficiency with a bottomed CPFH.
The LM approach would be as discussed earlier ownership cost (lifetime and risk).
I don’t know what approach Raytheon and Leonardo have together to differentiate themselves (not something needed) but they will probably pitch for an alleviated system cost and overall risk given their proven expertise.

Regarding the 11g turn, I have posted screenshot of video showing the G-meter capped at 10g.
That this would be the result of the G-meter hodometer or that of a FCS limiter we don’t known (but can reasonably guess).

*The video was later removed from the entire web…

Did Aussie gov compare european built tigers to those built in Australia? Beacause some Airbus Helicopters employees were privately catastrophed by aussie’s industrialarrogance and incompetence (note : i didn’t mean they are right) and are wishing loads of luck to DCNS…

Fingerpointing won’t help. Those in charge have to assume their responsibilities. Managing, providing services is not only to get a bigger check.

Charging 500+M$ a year for putting 3 helicopter on average in the air should have ringed all the bell alarms at every level of the management chain. From tip to toes.

C’mon Hallow, this is not supposed to be a sand pit contest.

Well if you want full credit for something, it’s a little difficult when you’ve been hacking and spying. Only recently they were caught trying to steal F135 engine design information.

If you were the first then nobody can accuse you of copying.

Not only information… A full engine as it seems !

Boeing bullish on India as manufacturing base

But Boeing India president Pratyush Kumar is looking to life beyond the Rafale deal, and to India’s growing role in the company’s global operations.
[…]
“This factory will make the entire fuselage for the Apache attack helicopter. This is not just for the 22 Apaches that India has contracted for — but also for the global supply chain of Boeing. This is just the beginning; we see India as a part of Boeing’s global aviation ecosystem in the years ahead.”Kumar is also bullish on combat aircraft, despite the Rafale deal. “The [Indian Air Force] will gradually phase out the Mig-21, Mirage 2000 and Jaguar squadrons over the next decade. This creates an opportunity for more aircraft for the IAF,” he said.

“India will look beyond the India-made light combat aircraft and the French Rafale. Boeing is willing to create an aircraft ecosystem by transferring the entire production line of the Super Hornet [F/A-18] to India.”

Notice the geometry chosen for the refueling trap door. Elegant 😀

FA-50 Golden Eagle: The Low-Cost Fighter that Might See Some Serious Combat

Nice read. The style is even surprisingly pleasing (!?!).
