There are more sound aerodynamics in my toaster than on many of the innovations depicted above…

Should I write a proposal out of this?

Yes, the Sensorcraft may not be new but I always like these little uav videos. Companies put them out to say “look what we are showing you, and think what else we are working on”.

Sorry. I had a burst of frustration. I do agree with you. And don’t forget the scalable side of the demo. Such is of paramount importance in today systems. They are also showcasing this by the extreme here ( a sign of what to come perhaps 😉 ).

Yemeni Scud attack kills 66, destroys 17 F-15s, 9 Apaches
If Iranian news is believable…

Reuters and the Guardian specify a hit close to the airbase:

Mmm T-103 stands for the name of a wind tunnel. See here:

Low speed, hence the conical shapes in front of what seems to be an engine nacelle are probably there to relax the complexity of the case study at such low speed.

A F/A-18D from the Swiss Airforce, coming from Payerne, went down today at about 11:30 in France. The pilot ejected and was blessed.

Injured? 😉

There is a lot of good stuff on the Safety Board website to download, and it will take a while to digest. I have spent much of the day reading this and watching the earlier Almaz-Antey press conference, and am far from having digested it all.

It will take time to digest.

It’s a forum post, not a hundred page expose. I am drawing grossly examples with a tick black pen and not a 0.2 pencil and 100 nuances of color. The background is that you fly as you are trained to do.
By devoting more time in training and candidates screening toward flight safety, we will improves the present situation and prevent new occurrence from surfacing (ex. complex FCS failure or hacking). Today the nodes of actions are focused on flight management or cross-shared btw different actor. This as a cultural heritage.

If a 20 year old drone pilot can fly routinely across the globe a complex aircraft as are modern uav (think RQ4) from a remote location, there are no more need for two pilots in a cockpit if we speak in term of the end results.
FCS failure are alsoprone to be more rare but more unexpected and hence more complex to deal with in real time. There is hence two parameters that we should put emphasis on:
-awareness
– flight knowledge (seat pants, yoke time,3d spacial geometry or aptitude to decipher a complex problem while in a very stressful situation).
Today those are not the point of focus of pilots selection and training or the way they fly.There are even there airplane manufacturer convinced that the less responsibilities you hand to a human pilot, the better it is.
Hence, pilots are trained as system administrator with a range of procedure to assimilate when… the crash of tomorrow are drawings at each iteration the new set of future procedure. This is a new era of commercial flight and the present safety strategy is not the right one. It’s even counter-productive (see the thread).
Communication during incidents btw crew are also imparting their aptitude to react correctly given the unexpected nature of the event and the rapid flight departure that some plane are prone to (something that has no more reason to be (new aerodynamics)).
A pilot today should be trained mostly and selected like a test pilot of yesterday since the job is to bring back the plane that we can learn (to the exquisite delight of the passengers obviously).

I can’t put it more clearly than what have been said earlier.

~S and RiP to the AA pilot.

I understand your point trying to makes clear that there are.more proof of the F35 superior manoeuvrabity regarding the F16 in comparison to what released data show for the 22. But isn’t a video extract more strikingly speaking than a censored diagram?

Those should amply pleads for the latter.
