yes.

It depends only of pressure level (ambient air) and moisture.

Of course speed is relevant but a near something mach is enough depending mostly of the body shape AND wing thickness.

Weight increase speed. It’s an old adage from the very beginning of aviation.

The heavier, the faster you’ll hve to go.

Also when comparing accel nbr take notice that some test are done at 0G to get a true value.

The nbr of vehicles in that convoy is really alarming…

I don’t think I ever noticed how far back the UARSSI is on the B-2….interesting location, but there’s not too much space I suppose so probably was easiest from an engineering standpoint.

Well.. Due to stealth’s concerns, it can’t be in the front… Neither in the back… Guess where they fixed it 😉

No. The LCA is plagued by its Alpha, the 17 is teen fighter that went thought plastic surgery, the 50 is, at least, a goodwill thought in the fighter market and the Gripen is the real beast in the lot.

(Don’t take me wrong, the JF17 is an interesting cat. A pet cat that is named promise.)

You can’t make a comparison in the lot. Who by the way, have issued an RFP where FA50 and Gripen were competing?

Here is an interesting tidbit of information: The Beidou navigation system – developed with EU help – is a striking example of Beijing’s global dragnet for military know-how.

China begged, borrowed, or stole the know-how to build their Beidou system.

228M for a breakthrough tech… You know, Eu crawls under corruption like Rome was burned under the eyes of Neron. There is nothing a reasonable man can do anymore. That’s sad. Step aside. We are doomed. A smell of % of goodwill will always stand as a negligible part of a fart from the disrespectful. Golgotha is not a leisure walk.
