Apparently, Ventral Fin at the rear fuselage is there for stability and better manoeuvrability especially during supersonic flight when the upper tail fin size is not enough. It is not possible to see from the pictures. But can it be that the upper tail fin is somewhat enlarged to compensate?

Bro, they are cool with you on the surface. Deep down they are brain washed to see you as their worst enemy. That is bred in to their genes after centuries of indoctrination. I have first hand experience of this myself. My classmate at uni who sat 4 years next to me. Spent most of his time with...

One has to look at the real picture here. On one side there is a country with a growing 86 million population and a nominal GDP for 2026 of 1.64 trllion dollars, that is geared up to spend in excess of 51billion dollars in 2026 for defence, including development work by state and private...

Happy 30th August Victory day to all Turkish members. This victory is the glorious triumph of our noble nation—achieved under the leadership of our Great Immortal Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk—in which, facing the injustices of occupying forces intent on destroying the Turkish nation, as...

There is a lot of chatter in Israeli media that Turkiye now is aiming for Egypt to sell the Russian S400 AD system to. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260828-israeli-report-egypt-may-acquire-russian-s-400-missiles-through-deal-with-turkey/ Again there is the stumbling block of Russian...

These are 7 and 19 tube 70mm hydra rocket launcher pods US use on their aircrafts and Attack helicopters. Roketsan has to find a way to increase the number of Cirit missiles the platforms carry. US helicopters can carry 76 of these 70mm Hydra rockets. M261 (19 missile) and M260 (7 missile)...

Bro, I concur with your statement regarding the MILDEN. Hull length to diameter ratio of 7:1 to 8:1 is there as a guideline. Most nuclear subs push past 10:1. It is a matter of design and construction capability. There is however some merit in the apprehension of @zio ’s post. But not as...

We don’t really have all the details of the MILDEN in our hands. If you look at the Spanish S-80+ submarine details, it is not far from ours on the surface of it. 7.3m diameter, 80.80m length. Yet when you look at the exact dimensions there is more to it than being just a long tube. Check out...

Many are. Basically: Key Developers and Organizations D-Propulse (Deep Propulse Aerospace): Indian defense and DRDO facility in Hyderabad. RTX Corporation (Raytheon & Pratt & Whitney): Collaborating with the Air Force Research. GE Aerospace & Lockheed Martin: Already has working demonstrators...

They may become the engine of choice for super expensive fighter jets for a while. But the future of jet propulsion is with CRDE (Continuously Rotating Detonation Engine) No moving parts. No single crystal blades. No compressors. No rotating parts. Engines will become lighter, smaller and more...

Bro, each aircraft has a specific engine that suits its planned capability. GCAP engine being built by RR, is supposed to propel a 6th generation stealth aircraft. In all honesty I was expecting an adaptive cycle engine to be used in GCAP. But the designers must know better what they expect...

@Pokemonte13 bro, you don’t have the right to tell someone to stop posting. If you do not agree with the way the post is published click report please. Better still, pls read the forum rules one more time.

A new military turbofan fighter engine is not really rebuilt dozens of times, but rather they have: -test hours, -teardown inspections, and - flight test cycles. Development Teardowns and Inspections: Initial Qualification: An engine model undergoes a mandatory military specification tests for...

Source please!!

You are correct. That is purely the difference of steam CATOBAR vs EMALS that has been mentioned in that article. STOBAR is slower than both of them. Plus more importantly, with STOBAR you can not launch planes with full loads. Main advantage of STOBAR over CATOBAR is , lower cost, simpler...
