But where cotain an LIon accu arsenic? The contain LiCO2 and a water free electrolyte or a polymere (the PO in LIPO). A burnig LiOn or LIPO produce a huge amount of white fume. Then 2t LIon accus must be storaged in a special container. LiOn or LIPOs transported with storage voltage equal to 20% up to 40% energy content. For a simple reason, new LIons contain an inhibitor. This inhibitor make LIon storable over long time and full load storage would harm the accus anyway. The killer is the electrolyte or polymere. LiPF6, Polyvinylidenfluorid (PVDF) or Polyvinylidenfluorid-Hexafluorpropen (PVDF-HFP),Li3PO4N Lithiumphosphatnitrid.
The all produce HF during the combustion process and the endproduct with atmospheric humidity is then fluoric acid. But HF produce an eye-stinging smell.

You know that Rolls Rocye has made similar work and patented this?

The Taliban Airforce is may be to powerfully.:diablo:
Can the Rafale now drop laser guided bombs alone or need the assistance of theirs granddad for illumination?

@Kovy,
this was discussed in an article where a French colonel was talking about such issues. It was stated that the Arabs demanded a GMTI/T mode and more interleaving between modes and that they didn’t want to fall back wrt detection range in comparison to the F-16 blk 60’s APG-80. It was stated that a 10% increase in range is desired.

10% sound not much but mean the need 3dB more systemgain or 100% more power.:rolleyes:

Personally, I think it is a game changer, before Eurofighter wheeled out the Sea Typhoon at Aero India, the last we heard about Sea Typhoon was that it simply was not possible due to the canards blocking the pilots view in landings.

Do you ever seen a Typhoon or other Jet making a sideslip at a carrierer approach? With such a logic is a F-18 not carrier suitable the LEX blocking the pilots view in landings. :rolleyes:

The awesome performance of Pratt&Whitney’s engine makes the other two look like toys.

Particularly at the weight.
The two last rows are mixed up in the list and est mean all and nothing.
With a bypass ratio of 0.57 is the F-135 sure not supercruise capable.
A good engine for an attacker but not really for a figther.

Sure, therefore need the US industrie european licenses for the internas for this engines. :rolleyes:
