It looks like the FFA P-16 configuration was influenced by the early versions of the Supermarine Swift

How about if the USAF just had a few hundred F-22's. 

Why is this six-year-old article being re-published now? Has something changed. Tyler’s articles are outstanding, but what is the current relevance of this one?

This looks somewhat like they took a Supermarine Swift fuselage and put straight wings on it. Note the similarity of the wing shape to that of the Learjet, which was derived from a a Swiss twin-engine fighter design.

The Ma Deuce 50 caliber machine gun, designed more than 100 years ago, in 1918, is still going strong.

No, the TSR-2

Probably not tellurium, because this is a Palisade, not a Telluride.

I strongly suspect that the weight was to balance the car, because the VW engine is lighter than the 911 engine, and they use the same chassis. When I had my 1967 912 (for 17 years), the 911's had a steel bar inside the front bumper to balance the weight of the 6-cylinder engine.

“Orientated” is defined as “turned toward the East”. Is this a Freudian slip?

The U.S. might, if our s0-called leader weren’t so busy begging Xi Jinping to help him get re-elected.

But it can be serviced ONLY at a BMW dealer at whatever their prices are, because independent shops will not get the codes

All T-6's eject through the canopy.

Jim Hall ran a Lister-Chevy with a big Latham blower in his pre-Chaparral days. Sometimes blew a piston, then lapped the field on 7 cylinders.

This is the one airplane that many airlines wished had never gone out of production. There has never been a satisfactory substitute for its combination of capacity and range.

At 6'1" I was comfortable in wearing a hat in my 1967 model. It could easily fit someone 6'4", or taller.

I picked up a 1967 model at the factory, and use it as a daily driver for 17 years, often pushing it hard. The best thing about it was its honesty; it never once surprised me.

The design language of the Maserati Mostro is reminiscent of the 4.5 liter Maserati coupe that Stirling Moss ran at LeMans around 1956 or 1957.

Are those rear doors suicide doors or (God forbid!) sliding doors?

That fin on the fuselage of the A-12 (the single person version for the CIA) was the mount for the D-21 unmanned vehicle, which was not a success.

Because Lockheed chose the wrong rotation directions, both engines were critical. North American reversed the rotation on the P-82 and found that neither engine was critical. In fact, pilots said that the only difference they noted when one engine was out was a minor reduction in airspeed but no handling change.
