Stealth AH-64? Do explain!

They would kick them out because other ground forces might be able to use air assets. Or they wouldn’t have any use of the specific assets. Vipers got kicked for AH or other way around depending on the weapon effects. Although I’ve never seen A-10’s being kicked out before. That being said Hellfires are a mighty good

How so?

I am going to quote that a lot.

“..the spread of secondary and latterly tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought.” Peter Medawar

tl:dr I agree.

What are the extensions on the helmet for? Sensor upgade for the IHADSS?

By avherald.com. The airbus is a European wet lease to Saudia, undergoing scheduled maintenance.

What would you do with the Gripen? It’s electronic suite is not near as capable as other 4.5 gen airframes. Let alone gen 5 when finished. It is the same as modern F-16. So why bother? I am no fan of the F-35 either, but that has everything to do with the cost and not with the projected capability.


You ask for directions. Lot of ego pain but no man overboard.

Within certain limits, increasing weight, therefore increasing wing loading, will not diminish best glide ratio but only increase the speed while flying the optimum glide ratio. More equipment would certainly increase drag. Which at higher speeds would increase with speed square.

That being said. I am fairly certain

When you autorotate there is no torque in the system so you won't need a tail rotor to counteract.

Yes Gliders have a pitot static system so they know their airspeed. The string is indicative for coordinated turns.

Smart move by Apple. We all should be protected from such a monstrosity. Better yet throw away the key.

Imho most American versions of series or movies can't hold a candle to the originals produces in other countries. Netflix's House of Cards being a notable exception.

Pretty much every modern aircraft has a flux valve or fluxgate. They even look the part when you open the avionics boxes.

Now playing

Although I have never parahawked before, I did have the opportunity to fly together with Himalayan vultures in Bir Billing. Bir Billing is a Tibetan enclave in northern India and a paragliding hot spot. The vultures will actively seek paragliders to fly with. They tend to soar up en down the leading edge of the wing
