The A-400M just took off at 10:15 am.

I watched it “on live” on the Airbus site… 🙂

Thanks! It really looks like a Yak-130/M-346… :confused:

For some reason the link does not work?

It worked about one hour ago, I could read the article there, and it is already gone ??? WTF ?? :confused:

Thanks to Dare2 to have saved the text, then…

That remind me something.

Msg to french posters, did someone ever scanned the article about the differents Mach 3+ projects from Dassault ?

Do yean mean the article in Le Fana de l’Aviation one year or so ago ?

Er… Ok… and what NAVY or other “modern” service has tailwheel trainers?

Why again waste millions in a complete redesign of a single engine tail dragger plane when theres already turboprop trainers in service with a nosewheel at the front?

All that extra training at simple take of and landings for pilots who have probably never ridden in a tail dragger… Im sure they would appreciate that…

Then why not reuse the breguet Aliz?’s design with a bigger tuboprop ?

After all:

-It had been designed as an attack carrier-based aircraft, before being re-used for ASW…
-It has the range, the payload and the possibility to embark 2 to 3 crewmen.

Just kidding, of course but stil… :rolleyes:

There are many point of views about what performance criteria should be. Some people focus one one to say “X” or “Y” is the best. But you have to look at the wider picture to be relevant. Some people favourable to the NG will of course stress its strong points like costs. And those favourable to the rafale will advertise for the necessity of two engines, the punch etc…For the moment I have never heard about FAB preference. And we have to be cautious when we say FAB because it can mean “two or three people paid by the competition” to argue against the favourite aircraft in the tender.

Okay, I see. Thanks for the clearing. And thaks to TGIF, too… 🙂
