You are missing a major difference between turbojet and turboshaft. Turboshaft is not meant to generate thrust therefore the exhaust gas is less energetic.

Faaantastic

Turbine for sure but the 750hp is the one we will be watching for.

You don't want to deal with too many innovations at a time. Re-usability is about cost reduction which is only a secondary goal for us. Once we pull off the main goal of acquiring the basic capability we can always go for re-usability going forward. This way we can progress without snags.

Looking good.

You can only test with what you have access to. The engines will do the job for when the plane is not fully loaded. Like without the weapons load and the full fuel load. Near the dry weight of the plane which is usually around half the take off weight. 5x7m is a round number. This sheet of...

They have started the mass production process. They are subcontracting now and not sure when the first copy will come out the line.

There must be engineers somewhere that can come up with good solutions to all the problems that will be thrown at them. You can probably make additions to the sides of the ship to accommodate the machinery that will operate the cable. Or maybe you can place mobile attachments on the deck that...

We need to make many unlikely things happen to achieve targets but we are known to make the unlikely things. We will just work smarter and harder.

We are aiming $500bn in the short term to medium.

We won't stop making it because it is hard to make. We don't need to keep many fighter planes on the ship. Even 4 planes can give the punch we need for most operations we can hope to make from this ship. And we will most likely have the second one, we can operate them together if need be.

Update: $166bn until 25th of December.

We can do even better. We can fit our existing LHDs to operate light aircraft from. Full size Aircraft Carriers should be made for our full size aircraft the MMU(TFX).

Tejas did this many moons ago, I believe developers of Hürjet have taken notice of this already. There is a good chance Hürjet can be offered to prospective buyers in stead of an F35B going forward.

By introducing a proper aircraft carrier in the medium term. Also there are views that the light attack fighter project Hürjet can be altered to operate from this class of LHD.

TFX specks changed quite a bit over time and it is ever larger and larger. A king size or emperor size plane, likely.

This story is totally different from the known methods of hydrogen fuel technologies and not in the existing Boren studies. Like 400 times the power.

However it is bound to get reduced in size to add structural strenght and it would probably be around 125cm or so if 20% reduced due to crinkling, my speculation.

If the 5 by 7 meter sheet metal is for the casing of the engine, it is huge, like 159cm diameter if it is used without crinkling it.

This story is not about hydrogen fuel cells, it is about hydrogen being used as a fusion material. It is more about nuclear energy than chemical. Basically you shine a laser light beam on some hydrogen atoms and and turn them into helium atoms that is missing an electron. In turn the Helium atom...
