Ah yes, the old "but its a single engine" crowd......usualy composed of mostly 12-year old microsoft fighter pilots. For those who missed it during those years, the US Navy operated several single-engined fighter aircraft from its carriers over the years. Engine technology and reliability certainly has not stood still since then.
@blt40 Thats a good point, the Navy and Marines were also concerned with this so they demanded that the engine be built to extreme tolerances and durability to avoid this. The engine was required to run for many hours without failure to prove its safety. The 777 went through the same problem because it only had 2 engines but Europe wanted a plane so big to have 4 so the Trent engine proved it could last many hours without fail
@blt40 Every Jet engines are designed to "accept" a certain amount and certain size bird without a "catastrophic" failure. They are bird rated like windscreens. The military probably has very strict requirements but jet engines CAN ingest birds and continue to run. Now if you ingest multiple large birds or a couple turkey sized Canada Geese then you will have a problem like Sully did and he had 2 engines.
Good to know the UN and Nato have access to weapons systems like this on our nickel. I'd be so much more excited if this was for defense of our country, not MILITARISM.
@ghune so you want a person to pay 70% of their income to the government. How exactly does that help you or me? By paying off the debt? If only that was where the money would go, but it wouldn't.
I find it sad that the Air Force and Navy get hideously expensive weapons programs that will likely never be used for their intended purpose, but the Army and Marines haven't received a complete small arms update in decades.
@DrLeroyGreen What the US needs to do is raise taxes. It's so obvious but no one wants to touch it. 35% is just far too low for the top tax bracket and there are not enough tax brackets. I think 35% is a fair tax rate if you're making $300,000 a year, it's ridiculous if you're making $3 million or $30,000,000. There should be tax brackets up to 80-90%. If you did this, you'd likely be able to cut the taxes that regular people are paying and fund a lot of programs. No one wants to touch it.
@Nater245689 Not smart at all. 35% is the fed rate. What about the money that is being paid to state on income and real estate? Those taxes added together bring the total tax rate to 42-46% of a top bracket. What is wrong is that all those morons in office don't know how to spend money. The taxes are too high and if you want them to go higher, well that's good for them, not you.
@Nater245689 But the reality is that taxes are going to have to go up on every single income bracket and there will also have to be massive spending cuts. Either on it's own will not work, it is delusional to think otherwise. I'd go with an 8% tax rate increase for those making less than $250,000 and a 16% on those making more. Cap medicare/medicaid spending, raise the Social Security eligibility age, and cap discretionary spending increase to GDP growth (if any).
@nandansho what complete ignorance. I am one of the ORIGINAL Hartford Tea Party founders, adn not one bank or insurance company ever hired me or paid a salary or gave us money. You drank the koolaid my friend, time to vomit out Obama!
@vroom2000 You idiots....You must believe that the need for WINNING a war is over. Peace on earth right? Muslims will simply conform to integration into all societies as all other faiths have? I truly and sincerely HOPE that your families are the lambs so that those of us who understand can witness this unfold and not lose a single family member cause your aloof families provoded the sl
@vroom2000 all yo can do is laugh at defense contracts when social spending on illegal alien incarceration is higher than weapons programs? Illegal Alien healthcare is higher than weapons programs? and you laugh at weapons programs? As for the tea party, at least SOMEONE knows to stop spending when they're broke, or didn't you realize that is what Pelosi did since 2006?
@vroom2000 You're right. We should slash defense spending and give it to illegal aliens and welfare cheats and pay for the world's healthcare and Obama's vacations each 45 days...
Now if we could only keep so many foreign students (cough, Chinese, cough, cough) out of our colleges we wouldn't have to worry about keeping a technological edge.
@woodycoat Have you noticed that those foreign students are the people who conduct the research to keep that technological edge? Check any graduate program in engineering and you will see that the fraction of American students is very low. Foreign students are hired because there are not enough Americans interested on doing that research.
@rudycepedagomez wrong wrong wrong assessment. Foreigners are not allowed to work on US DOD projects. So the ones that get education here go back to their countries and narrow the gap between their countries and the US. And the reason there are so few American students is because the smart one realize there's more money to be made in business, sales, and law because engineers get screwed over by company execs.
Something that occurs when you actually have a budget and you overspend. 2 key points. Having a budget and overspending. I'd LOL back at you if any of this was funny.
@ffrgtm.... Right, I knew that much but Schwartze Baron said it was 24 degrees instead of 14 degrees as expected. So I was wondering if he was refering to the maximum AoA for this take off so the pilot wouldn't over speed the gear doors and the landing gear on the F35.
@Frosttty IT doesn't cost that much per-jet. Each one isn't more than $50 mil. The flying wing only costs $2.5 billion. This thing's way cheaper than a B-2. It might have cost $4.5Billion to get it off the drawing board, but not per-jet.
@Frosttty well it would be logical guessing for total development costs (including paying for employees). but considering this is just the aircraft, it's not logical.
