Zero is more usable, with wheels turning and all. And looks better.

I have to agree if anything just on it’s sheer size alone. It is not typical Japanese size in any way. It is American muscle car sized.

its a racing game...it counts.

All three SSTs (Concorde, the Boeing design, and the Tu-144) had drop noses. They were necessary for ground operations as the flight crews couldn’t see over the nose to navigate around taxiways and near gates/ground vehicles. Nowadays, they’d probably incorporate a camera system, instead.

As someone who has been in DoD contracting for a decade, yes. The ‘F-32’ would have had the exact same issues as the F-35, because the DoD would write a spec, then change it six weeks later, after software and documentation had been developed to meet the spec, then change it again after six months, to go back to the…

There’s a reason why the X-35 won. The F-35 that evolved from it may have been a compromised design, but the X-32 was really a poor design. The Boeing team revamped the airframe but it came too little too late for construction and entry as far as the Air Force was concerned. If you’ve got two hours to kill here you…

One of the reasons it wasn’t chosen is because of its black color being a requirement for its stealth. This limits it almost entirely to night missions, as black would show up VERY brightly visually in a day sky. The F22’s shape-based stealth and as a result, more neutral coloring made it favorable because it could…

It was given a chance to succeed - it just didn’t.

In fairness, the first GT40’s to actually win were indeed made in America at Shelby’s garage.

Cool Story!

Have you used Apple Maps? It’s terrible at reading directions, so they’re already there. It tried to send me down train tracks, once.

Most of my friends are terrible at reading directions, so I have zero faith that Apple will get this right. Their track records with map applications doesn’t help their case.

i believe the aluminum paint coating had much more to do with thethe initial flame up.

To be fair, after 161 patchs and 2 service packs, Vista was Vista with the bugs worked out.

Except it was designed to use helium, the US, who controlled the entire world’s helium reserves, refused to sell any to the Nazis, so they used hydrogen.
