I didn’t interphere on Rafale thread for some reasons FBW.

As seen in a French forum.

I personally takes this with a pinch of salt, I’d rather believe, in view of the previous stages of development, that the compressor aerodynamics, already studied for some time, are the last part of a multi-stage development phase which went through redesign of the engine modules, which first allowed for longer TBO then reduced SFC.

So at the end, when all the components will be available, the engine will have the capability to produce 9 ton thrust but lose in terms of SFC and part longevity, though I think it might be possible to increase the thrust to 8 tons and reach a good compromise.

Take it with a bucket of salt. Temps cited are way inferior to those tested and noone ever talked about a 9T (or less or even more) dry thrust engine. Presently these tests are more drone oriented in order to disminish the dismounting/opening of traps etc rate.

Like seeing through the floor instead of just knowing what is there. But as a neck can not turn 180° you have to go back to good old screens to know what is behind. I would love to see reports about the possible cognitive dissonances. Etc. Wanting to see vy night on a screen led to many problems (see the famous deck landing), which could have been avoided using simpler systems. Like ALIS which is a good idea (not unique to F-35 btw), but became too fat a proram to function properly etc.
The concept of multirole stealthy and communication node is good imho. About the intra patrol data fusion i’m dubious, because at a moment of another one has to validate the sitac.Is it really necessary to implement the mission commander L-16 function on a fighter necessary? Do you think ONE f-35 will lead a COMAO?
These are capabilities that delayed and cost a bunch while they could have been implemented step by step.
Anyway, as FBW said on another topic, wait and see. This summer should give loads of info. Btw, F-35 will be tested in switzerland weeks 21-23 or so.

No all I am asking you is to quantify what will be paid and when. You seemed to randomly introduce Thales into a topic that had nothing to do with it, now add some value to what you brought up…Tell us how much willl be paid and when. I get it that you want to talk about Dassault/Thales etc even on the F-35 thread but if you are going to go OT on every occasion might as well add some value NO?

I do not know, but chest bumping for your 1000th infringement of a patent is pretty “chinese” way imho. And i guess, considering the cost of the helmet, that the cost of the fine will be quite high don’t you?

About CFPH, how many times have we heard that it would very soon be lower than “4th Gen”? (partly due to ALIS). Yoou perfectly know my main issue with the program is with the program itself more than with the aircraft don’t you? The concept is rather sound, but the management was absolutely terrible (including a bunch of tweaks taht made it heavier etc.)

When will they have to pay this? Do you have a data and amount or is this something your secret source told you to not mention?

On the CPFH it is based on the total fleet and the creation and execution of all the depots and other facilities associated with bedding down 1700+ fighters in the USAF alone. Legacy aircraft are relying on decades old infrastructure that has been built up over the decades to sustain the fleet while the F-35 fleet is just getting started while adding significant number of aircraft each year. The USAF and Congress can make it quicker by investing more resources on MILCON and standing up more organic depot capacity faster but they are likely trying to balance a bunch of other spending priorities at the same time as well.

Also, not everything is about France or a French aerospace supplier which you seem to bring into threads that have nothing to do with the Rafale or French aircraft.

You can check the history of justice course about the helemet. DoD already lost in appeal and supreme court on one of the three criteria of patentability and in appeal on a second…

About CFPH, however one Twist simple facts. USAF executive said that they qould not reach the goal until 2035. Comma. Won’t comment about ALIS, it is simply hilarious. It has cost zillions and is going to be completely rearchitectured, costing other zillions to taxpayers.

It is called scorpion, check you facts before self-irony. If you do not want to look ridiculous.

Here is for you education.

Thanks. Wrt to LDP/HMD integration has there been any details?

According to an Istres test engineer from Istres i will of course ot cite, announcement should be done at PAS19. Most of the work is done.

Haven’t seen any particular reference to the HMD in that video. Interesting is the direct overlay to the moving map, IIRC that’s already done with SAR imagery right? Any hint on full color integration of the TV imagery with the F4 standard? Since when has the tablet been integrated on the Rafale?

The tablet “decalco” isn’t new, it is second generation one (first was a samsung) in service now. The helmet for AdA should be announced in Paris in june. i think F-35 have a similar fucntion with SAR imagery, but i dunno if they can directly zoom from nulerical “classic” map.
