    Yeah, length scaling means you non-linearly scale: Areas by exponent of 2 (i.e squared) Volumes by exponent of 3 (cubed). Creep is especially connected to areas getting squared by such scaling. Weight (mass) is directly connected to volumes getting cubed. Both among many others present...

    From my experience at PW, these days we typically have anywhere around 100 to 1000 high level engineers involved during jet engine design phase (and the later deployment, support and optimisation phases) in these times. Each of these engineers can have sizeable number of mid level engineers...

    Depends on things like: A) Quantity and quality of the starting backdrop (RnD materials and database, previous experience in similar disciplines and projects etc) and research facilities...the more here, the less engineers needed. (i.e what do you exactly mean by scratch etc) B) How much time...

    India Navy Nuclear Submarines (SSBN & SSN)

    Reactor costs are pretty much the same (given enrichment of fuel and reactor design difference accommodating for that is very small portion of the final lifetime cost, if its even any different in the end). As to what those costs are like, I am unsure (given what gets allocated in funding to...

    India Navy Nuclear Submarines (SSBN & SSN)

    In wake of Indo-US nuclear deal (of mid 2000s), I remember the original plan (of project 75) was to acquire 12 hulls, 6 hulls from the West and 6 hulls from the Russians....with the view to make the next follow up project one that would combine the best elements from both. That never came to...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Like I get where you are coming from (though you did mention RCS earlier): Some IR signature angles would indeed be suppressed to some extent (w.r.t nozzle surface and maybe some portion of the plume) by having the vertical stabiliser fully adjacent (red) and a bit more aft, rather than...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    There is no connection between where the vertical stabilisers are and "compromise of stealth" RCS reduction doesn't care about the surface being at X or translated to say X+5. It cares about the surface being as planar as possible and then as parallel as possible to other surfaces on the same...
