So they are ensuring safety of Lockheeb and safety of that one group whose job it is to do things that are rather unsafe. Well, the less effective european militaries become, less power the politicians will have.

Northrop got exactly what they deserved, they managed to sell bunch rear fuselages and vertical stabilizers as subcontractor for McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18.

Going to need source on that one, the vapour pressure is too low for that.
That has been done in rocketry since the '40s, I don't see an issue with it.

So what you're saying is mediocre sustained turn rates with comparatively high energy conservation are the way to go?
David Brown
Didn't the FW-190 have better turn rates than most 109s?
Are you using a headset and stick for that?
Also trash music.

OH MY LAD. YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT.

Hop on over to page 36 on whatever reader you're using or search for the term "Fueldraulics". Really just read through the entire report,I'm convinced it's how an engineer would write a comedy.
Heck if you want a good meme just go over to the thread in question at this stamp and start reading the choice excerpts streloks have found.

You'll also find a report from June 2018 that has multiple issues completely expunged from the program agenda for no given reason, as in the report states that the problem exists, but was either placed at a low priority and
Granted the report is almost two years old now, but changing something as deeply integrated as the "hydraulics" constitutes major redesign that we have no indication has actually happened.
Sure if the idea is just to rock up throw missiles and fuck off. But then that'd be an interceptor, like say a MiG of some description wouldn't it?
I contend that both have to be equally important priorities in the design of dedicated fighter since you can't guarantee that your plane won't ever enter knife fight range for whatever reason, although you can probably skimp on energy management in relative terms because as I said briefly, just about any fighter worth a damn has TWR aiming to be near, at or above 1, so they're all going to be able to generate way more energy than any BVR missile given enough separation.
