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
announced (LM) I wondered why Boeing would scrap their whole concept rather
than push forward with it.
For various political reasons Boeing could have...

Allison B-17 by
Stephen Harding
Saw a photo yesterday of a WWII B-17 test aircraft powered
with four Allison inline engines as opposed to the usual
Wright Cyclones.
Understand the modification added about 800 hp to the
aircraft.
Anyone know why the modification didn't go anywhere?
The usual suspects? Too much disruption to...

More Bush Administration Idiocy by
WalterM140
From the NYT:
It's hard to imagine what the Pentagon was thinking when it told the American
Army and Marine replacement divisions bound for Iraq earlier this year to leave
their tanks and other heavily armored vehicles behind. American military
planners seem to have ignored evidence that armed...

How Boeing steered tanker bid by
Henry J Cobb
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/world/8297433.htm
But the e-mail and other documents show just how intent the Air Force
was on steering the deal to Boeing, even though Airbus' tankers were
more capable and cost less.

Osprey vs. Harrier by

These damned things
Very poor choice of plane to compare it to.
To quote a recent article:
"They know this drill all too well because the Harrier is the most
dangerous airplane flying in the U.S. military today.

Piper Cub Vs F-15 by

It is hard to believe that F-15 can fly formation with Piper Cub.

Do F-15 fly by wire system prevent the aircraft from stalling at that low
speed? Last time I saw an aircraft with fly by wire system did such a
stunt, Airbus plowed right in to the forest...

Is Bush Doomed?
by Paul Craig Roberts
Fear must be coursing through President Bush's veins as he realizes
the Iraqi trap in which the neocons have placed him. Bush is caught
between an Iraqi civil war and a wider insurgency.

Has there ever been an off-center gun? by
Jukka O. Kauppinen
Wouldn't a gun pointed at a downward angle make ground attack easier?
Many ground attack aircraft have had such configuration, including IL-2.
Not all of them, but in remarkable numbers anyway.

THE DAY THE 344TH STOPPED PATTON by

The Day the 344th Stopped Patton
Patton treasured the German autobahns. To him they were high speed highways
where he could charge forward at full tilt, covering miles of territory,
sweeping enemy forces in his path. But Patton never took A.A. Robinson into
account. A.A. Robinson, Lt. Robinson...
