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...

US air force is developing a 460+ km range air to air missile to be used by F35s, F/A18s and future F47s. This should put the cat among pigeons!! Built quietly by Raytheon’s Advanced Technology division, the AIM-424 Long Range Air-to-Air Missile (LRAAM) is capable of hitting targets over 250...

That is a little blinkered way of looking at it. You may ask yourself; Why does Italy have a carrier and a LHD? Italy doesn’t have overseas territories. Why do they build 6600 ton Bergamini class frigates? They have those because of the reasons I gave in previous post. In the seas west of...

Well, you can extend that question to: Do we really need Aircraft carrier? Do we really need destroyers? Did we really need an LHD.? The simple answer to yours and to mine are NO! We are not a rich country to spend 1.5 billion dollars on each destroyer and in excess of 4billion for a carrier...

It is interesting that Baykar, on their KE site clearly state : TAKING OFF AND LANDING ON SHORT-RUNWAY VESSELS Bayraktar KIZILELMA’s capability to operate on short-runway ships, such as Türkiye’s TCG Anadolu, provides a strategic advantage in overseas missions and in the defense of the Blue...

I fully agree with you. If the intention is to sail our flag in blue waters, then İstif class is a limited platform. Long endurance and open seas performance capable 135+ metres long 4500 to 5500 ton frigates are needed. The aircraft carrier will need at least one may be two tepe class...

Bro, as it is, KE probably is as stealthy as the Kaan today. Without RAM paint application and non stealthy engines, both can not be put against any fully fledged stealthy plane like F35. But that doesn’t mean that they will be like that all the time. KE is designed as a low observable plane...
