The ship maximum efficient speed depend on the waterline hull length and is the max displacement speed

what is the typhoons supercruise range? im guessing its smaller?

250NM on internal fuel only with with 6 MRAAM and 2 SRAAM but the EF have the higher fuel fraction.;)

I understand that the modules can work in conjunction with one another depending on what they’re being used for, or that in the even of module failures, there is redundancy, or that in interleaved modes you can have multiple simultaneous A/A, A/G, comms/datalink, EA, etc.. occurring.

Multipile beams are formed with high speed beamsteering and high frequencies agilty whitout the degneration of your antenna gain and resolution! Against this spliting your T/R in groups degrade antenna gain, resoultion, increase side lobes and widen your beam. A very dumb idea!;)

Sorry dude, but my “proofs” are not online..so well you can claim i’m lying through the internet wisdom

Signal Processing for Airborne Bistatic Radar
Kian Pin Ong doctore thesis.

Page 6. why AESA are tilded back.

Each module on an AESA array is an antenna though, and can operate independantly from the rest, in terms of modes, freqs, power settings, etc..

Wrong, one AESA-modul make no beam steering and make no antenna gain.
Only the cooperation of some modules make beam steering posible and this is strict phase and frequency-dependent. Or your AESA squints and illuminated all and nothing. :dev2:

But the Kongsberg fit not in the F-35B bay?

Sorry, you are making great assumptions…………The F-35 just like the F-22 is very aerodynamic. Appearance means nothing…….:eek:

As a matter of fact the Raptor could likely exceed those numbers. If, it didn’t have fixed inlets and it wouldn’t damage is Stealth Coatings.

The limit is the pu matrix of your RAM and the composit leading edge on your F-22. Beyond Mach 2 need your Raptor many maintenance after this flight. Then is your Raptor and F-35 with a after burner in use not stealth. First through the stagnation temperature in the mach cone (unavoidable) and through the high IR emission and the Radar reflective ionised jet blast. (Or you need very expensiv A50 ) Then should we not forget the cooling problem on such high speed and the F-22 Radar cooling problem etc. etc. Then should we not forget the big CO2 footprint of this big fuel guzzlers and QWIPs detectors which can detect CO2 on far distance (Now only the good guys have this but within 5 years maybe the bad guys too). The use of MTD instead of MTI.

Remember, the “Drag” and “Weight” of External Fuel Tanks is so great. That it consumes half the fuel just to carry them…………….So, unless you have some magical evidence that Typhoon External Fuel Tanks are some how drastically more efficient than other tanks from all around the world. I see no advantage compared to 5th Generation Types.

Area Rule and the use of shock bodys. More can in the transonic and super sonic area some times better and the Typhoon use it’s extern store as shock bodys.
After droping a drop tank decrase the CwA value but a F-35 stay always boxy and fat and have alway it’s drag penalty even when carry nothing.

Why not only one high speed run with the F-35 as yet after 2 years flight test?

Then should we not forget! To much mass concentration in the centere line make many headaches –>Inertia coupling!!!!
