Kind of a minor note, but I would disagree with LockMart’s description of that design as a “combined cycle”. Their “combined engine” is just two engines that share an intake and outlet.

Well, at least in high performance aircraft, the better the aerodynamics, the more unstable (intentionally) the aircraft.

I feel like you’re not helping the guy

Airports still are built with runways pointing into the prevailing winds, though. It’s still important to maximize airspeed.

O-O-O-O-O-klahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plane!

TWO STROKE CAR!?

Why does anyone still care about Nintendo?

Trump voters doing Trump voter things

Yeah, maybe a little ticky tack on my part.

True on all counts. The Chinese can’t even get a normal jet engine to work reliably, let alone one with STOVL capabilities.

Yeah, white guys like Jeff Fisher getting a million chances to be mediocre over and over again are why the NFL needs the Rooney Rule

That must be why he has so many championships

Yeah, if Lindsey Graham is a “dangerous radical”, you must be left of Lenin.
