    A dilemma for Pakistan as UAE cuts off work visas

    Core answer here: This is the basic lever that needs changing internally (savings as % of GDP)...i.e convincing everyone with big or little means (since these all add up) to forego consumption and pool their money for a mid and long term breakout. This is the ONLY way a consumption-based...

    Hmmm, interesting. I will have to see your layout etc to comment more, so I will wait. If everything is conventional arrangement I don't see point of doing turboshaft + fan (i.e create some split from the rpm and thrust vector with transmission + losses you have to then account for) or by this...

    China’s Moves Toward Uyghur Families Should Shock Our Consciousness and Spur Action

    We Indians have been in-tune to it long because of Tibetans and Dalai Lama since CCP actions there in the 50s onwards. It is really not surprising it extend to other non-Han as well.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Interesting, are you working on drawing up your concept right now? Will be interesting to see (I'll give more analysis then once things fleshed out).
