So is the Rafale C actually rated for 11G instantaneous? Or was that just a ‘one time with all the limiters disabled’ sort of deal?

normal FCS limit 9g (and sustained btw, not instantaneous). “emergency over limit” FCS limit 11g . During airshows, trained pilots regularly hit 10.5+ g. Cell resistance was tested up to 16g (1.5x rule).

I have no idea how high it was pushed in the air during flight envelope tests

To unite Europe under him or against him? 😀

Well… He did both…

No, but point is for example 5 european facilities are qualified to build GaN modules. Desn’t mean any radar will be GaN made for years. Sry if i missed a point. Translation of pulsar table would be very welcome!

So, you know how far Typhoon got then?…

Michael Gilmore hasn’t flown it, there for he’s just another critical naysayer that has no access.

:dev2:

I remember Trappier saying that previous F35 issues were “baby class” as compared to incoming complexity of integration…
