    You are most likely right! I thought it sounded too much too… I’m not used to typing it in liters (I use kg or gallons) and used a bad google result 😮

    OK. That explains. Could you, please, give use the fuel datas in kg or gallons (US gallons, I presume…) ? 🙂

    And, to convert galons into litres, try this:

    The new internal fuel capacity will be at least 5000 liters (compared to 4365 today)

    I beg you pardon, but I remember having read in an old Air Forces monthly issue that the Gripen’s internal fuel capacity was of 3000 litres… :confused:

    And Note that 5000 litres is close from the Rafale’s 5325 litres of internal capacity which is a twin engines aircraft. Are you sure of thoses numbers ? I’m really and honestly asking, because I fell somewhat confused, here…

    Can the BGL 400 be mounted on twin ejector racks so that possibly six can be carried? (two each on the centerline & wing hardpoints)

    Nope! only the GBU-12 can. The BGL-400 is to large for this. keep in mind the 2000 has short gears and the place is very limited under the wing/belly. The rafale has less prioblem in this domain…

    Note: the Ceterline can carry an AM-39 Exocet, though the FAF doesn’t use it.
    Note 2: I think the AASM won’t be integrated onto the 2000D, for reasons I still ignore…

    More fuel ? How much more ?
    How heavy will the plane be, then ?
    Any new engine, too ?

    BGL 400 laser-guided bomb (7) (four fuselage plus centerline & inboard wing)

    I doubt this one is right. The fuselage points are, as you said, limited to 400 kg, whereas the BGL-400 weights actually 480 kg…

    It’s no exactly in topic, since Ju-188 actually flew within the French armed forces, but I think this picture is interesting anyway:

    Sorry, but I have nothing done on Your PC !! :diablo:

    I just found it without any reference at the “What-if modelers” forum (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=10292)

    Did You make this picture :confused: … then I would like to ask for some additions: I would add some canards maybe on lengthened air intake trunks !

    Cheers, Deino 😉

    Thanks for the link, I’ll check for that! 🙂

    And, no, I haven’t made the picture, I’m utterly incompetent as far as Photoshop’s use is concerned… If I said “picture stolen” it’s only because I copied the pic on my HD… 😮

    I don’t know who made it. It does look pretty cool though 🙂

    Never mind. I steal the pic anyway… 🙂

    The part about UCAVs is interesting. When/if UCAV get operationnal, will they also be designated asz “F-something” or is the “F” kept for manned aircrafts only ?

    tbzz, do you have any more pics of the YF-23’s weapon bay? this pic you posted is the first I’ve seen of it open.

    If I remember correctly the weapon bay was 2x 2000lb bomb capable, in hindsight the F-23 would probably have been a better choice for the USAF, it would have made a excellent multi-role F-117 replacement.

    BTW are the Y/F-23 Bombs bay dimensions available, by now ? I’d be curious to know them… :confused:

    LOL yeah it’s about as real as this one. Probably wouldn’t be much of a challenge to find the original on the net somewhere. I mean it’s the guy’s FIRST post and he’s wondering if this photoshop job is real? Probably did it himself and wants to see if anybody will bite. :rolleyes:

    sferrin: I LOVE you PS canarded F-18!! 😮
