In the side air intake’s style/shape and placement it looks like a modern version of the 208/308/328. Or if you take a step farther back in their history is looks like a larger version of the 206/246 Dino.

While going into a few details, you should. While not hard under the right conditions it certainly won’t be as simple as you make it sound. A few issues stem from your analogy of a flashlight. Most of the time global hawk is working passively, its intaking video, IR, radio signals. The only time it emits is when it…

The wings do not rotate, they are fixed in a normal horizontal configuration. Only the engine nacelles at the wing tips rotate up 90 degrees. If the wings look rotated with the engines it’s because she’s landing and her flaps are down. However.... the wing/engine assemble WILL rotate 90 degrees along the Z axis to…

Why go for an outright sale? Wouldn’t a Lend/Lease arrangement be better? Go under the terms of something like Cost up unit upgrade leases the airframe for 5/10 years. With the option to renew at the end of the lease for the cost of refurbishment For another set time period. I’m sure something could be written in that…

For you next installment I think you should go for “Things people say in Auto Parts Store”

Good for Japan. Seems like a logical and prudent move with the escalating geo-political tensions in the area. As a US ally would this give pretense to operate or maintain a military presence there as well?

Very Very interesting. In Sword and Shield development I am VERY interested in what they cook up that can defend against this. Better sword < better shield < better sword < better shield.

In this instance.. Yes. I will go on and say it. It seems they they made a premeditated decision to deliberately court exactly the kind of response they got. If a woman wears deliberately wears provocative clothing, consciously goes to locations known for violent behavior, and actively courts a sexual assault.....…

Is there any update on this? Especially as to the location and condition of the pilot, if those images were in fact of the pilot? Also have we learned the causes of the F-16 crash, from what I’ve read the Saudi’s say is DEFINITELY wasn’t shot down. http://www.janes.com/article/51439/…

It was actually his reflection

Butcher it and eat it

Glad the kid is okay. DAMN that is one destroyed Legacy outback wagon, looks like it could have been tragic for everyone involved REAL easily.

Saved to my collection! Awesome!

I had to look at the quoted part, go back up to the main picture, back to the inset then back up. That picture REALLY messes with my sense of scale. Even looking at it for a few minutes my brain still insists that both F15s are closer. And idea of the vertical separation between the 3 aircraft? The grey one is closest…

Which seems to be opposite of the US. We need it to be perfect, doesn’t need to be working.

Like Israel or not, they are Mod Level Status : Master with their hardware. Some if the ways they can multi-role and upgrade their inventory is just ingenious. Maybe would could have them show our Procurement divisions on how to do things.

I would love see the run down in 15 years of the F35 and look at what American stuff they kept, what American stuff they throw out. And what Israeli stuff gets put in. The IAF are masters at adapting and upgrading other peoples hardware. Just imagine what they could do with an industrial base that could produce an…

Awesome insights! Thanks for sharing! I’d love to see Tyler expand and streamline those (and check them to make sure its real) into a super post about more in depth coverage of the situation in that area of the world

NASA GL-10: Osprey... can I ask you a question?

Gizmodo calls your 2 rotor tilt wing and raises you a TEN rotor tilt Wing and tilt Tail.
