Why no Cannons on Police Helicopters? by
Mutts
Wouldnt a cannon on a police helicopter solve a lot of
problems for law enforcement?
Is it possible to put a round right through the engine block
of a suspect fleeing and stop them from killing innocents?
Seems like that kind of accuracy is possible now isnt it?
When those guys were robbing the...

Why no CAS turboprops? by
Charles Gray
A question-- why haven't any CAS aircrarft been designed with
turboprops or the pusher varient (I foreget what you call it)? Given
their slow operating speed, it would seem to be a natural match up. Is
it a case the they are obsolete, or more of a case that people (read--
budget officials) have...

Why was Bush assigned a second rate plane? by
ArtKramr
Guess it was all they figured he could handle. And when he went AWOL they
didn't even bother to come after him. They figured he wasn't worth the trouble.
And it turns out they were right.

Why was the Fokker D VII A Good Plane? by
Matthew G. Saroff
Looking at the stats, it seems fairly ordinary for late
WWI fighters, but it's always described as dominating the skys
over the Western Front.

Why were the George and Jack so slow? by
old hoodoo
It seems like,with available hp the WWII George and Jack should have been
faster (specs on new a/c). Both are commonly referred to as being in the 360
mph class under optimum conditions. Yet they had high hp engines with four
bladed props. Bad airfoils? Too much frontal cross section? ...

Why would an RAF pilot become a USAAC co-pilot? by
ArtKramr
I haven't thought about John O'Brian in years. But a comment made on this NG
reminded me of him. He was a bit older than the rest of us. He had a civilian
pilots license when the war started in Europe. He went to Canada and ended up
flying Hurricanes in the MTO. When the US entered the war he...

Will EF-2000 and Rafale end up using shared systems? by
muskau
Hi,
Since apparently both EF-2000 and Rafale have had budgeting troubles, will
companies like Dassault and Bae end up developing systems for both planes
and sharing the cost of development?
This may have already started happening but I don't keep up to date with
military economics news.
Thanks,
