OK, how much whiskey was involved in this one? Not doing the Irish stereotype any good here.... https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/men-drag-dead-body-irish-post-office-pension

In the future if liquid hydrogen i.e LH (for example) becomes feasible*, it offers a far higher energy density than current aviation fuel (kerosene). It is likeliest potential contender going forward given its energy density is around 140 MJ/kg (~ 3 times higher than regular hydrocarbons) It...

F-35 will have more range, I go into more depth here: https://defencehub.live/threads/aircraft-performance-analysis.11772/#post-156148

I give more context on this in new thread, hope interested members add to larger conversation + analysis there with time: https://defencehub.live/threads/aircraft-performance-analysis.11772/

Recent field in this area (4th to 5th gen fuel fraction change inherent to overall design transition) It will be F-35 as it simply has a higher effective fuel fraction (FF) than KF-21 along with F-35 larger Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) The why though is deeper look than just looking at...

This is for easy reference going forward on the larger field of aircraft performance analysis. i.e Comparing design impact/trends on their performance and with underlying data and relevant discussion that pertains to analysis and any salient conclusions. I didn't elect to commence this in any...

Yes I saw this news and knew you would be happy heh. Indian Army has been artillery deficient at large for long time now (self propelled even more so). It is simple issue of making amends about that slowly, given sheer number of divisions (esp mechanized infantry and combined arms divisions)...

You have video? It didn't post?

What is your read on the potential US army deployments @AlphaMike et al. ?

Coming along nicely @Jackdaws ? :

I expect TFX somewhere around 45% - 60% for this max fuel/mass range ratio I mention here in F-35 vis-a-vis KF-21: https://defencehub.live/threads/indonesian-air-force-tentara-nasional-indonesia-angkatan-udara-tni-au.700/page-280#post-155875 as TFX current conceptual length is around 21 m...

F-35 has much higher MTOW and thus much larger mass-range (MTOW - empty weight) to play with. i.e F35-A: MTOW = 31.7 tons Empty weight = 13.3 tons Fuel capacity = 8.3 tons Don't let the raw volumetric size of aircrafts fool you. About 45% of that range is max internal fuel i.e 8.3/ (31.7 -...

Yes I said all powerful western countries are hypocrites on the matter at large to begin with. In case of us the developing countries, we have to keep scholarly studies, political pressure and so on It in the end boils down to amount of soft power you grow to get your voice heard across enough...

They (Russia) have apparently (at least partially) insinuated that TNW mobilisation is fair game. It is probably an exploratory feint (among many threats/insinuations they have been doing a while now) as there is no evidence of such mobilisation so far (i.e actual GUMO team activity with say...

Fascinating (1915) footage: Location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Shipbuilding_and_Engineering The actual "boring" scene occupies (in the middle somewhere) very little of the footage time but probably the most engineering intensive part (For the time and today as well in getting...

Russians saber rattling with TNW's is not helping though.
