Punctured pressure cabin. by
M. J. Powell
There has been a bit of a furore over here concerning the new US
requirement to airlines to supply air marshals when requested. The
concern is mainly over the possible puncture of a pressure cabin.
What do readers think is the result of decompression via a bullet hole?

Change the rules for the National Guard.? by
ArtKramr
How about we fix it so that in case of national emergency the guard goes FIRST
before the regular troops. Great idea huh? Think we would still get everyone
flocking to the National Guard in that case? I know Bush would have been first
in line to join up.. Right?

F-32 vs F-35 by
The Raven
We all know that the X-35 won the JSF contest which is now in the strategic
development phase as the F-35. At the time the competition winner was

than push forward with it.
For various political reasons Boeing could have...

Stretching WW2 Designs by
JDupre5762
I have been wondering why were so few WW2 aircraft designs "stretched" in order
to get more performance or payload? I know of the FW 190D which was stretched
in the aft fuselage section in order to compensate for the installation of Jumo
V 12 engine. Could other designs have benefitted from the...

Airspeed of military planes by
Tetsuji Rai
Airspeed limitation below 10000ft is usually 250kts unless you have been
authorized by the Administrator. However I guess it's a bit slow for
military fighters. So I am curious how fast military fighters fly in the
real world. I guess it's very dangerous military aircraft fly much fast
among...

hi alt oxygen by
Arquebus257WeaMag
Im just wondering why pure oxygen is used for high altitude flying
instead of regular air. I thought prolonged exposures to breathing
pure oxygen can be harmfull as you can become oxygen dependant.

F4U inverted gull wings by
Bob M.
I recently visited the Udvar-Hazy facility and received the usual
story about how the Corsair got its inverted gull wings, i.e. to
accomodate the 13 ft. prop which, in turn, was necesitated by the

and IIRC also used a 13 ft....
