The F-16 control stick? by
Christopher
Does it move when say when the pilot wants to climb, or does it have
pressure sensors on a rigid stick so the stick can inform the
computers the pilots hand is pressing on the front of the stick and he
wants the F-16 to climb?

Carrier Islands by
Thomas W Ping
Are there aviation-related reasons why the starboard side is favored
for the island, or is it a purely naval issue? If the latter, did the
practice come about because the first pioneering carriers were
arbitrarily drawn up that way and the configuration simply stuck as a
matter of tradition, or...

P-51 question. by
Mortimer Schnerd, RN
JStONGE123 wrote:
Why was the P-51 not used on aircraft carriers during WWII? Beside
the obvious no tail hook.....ect.
No tail hook. No extra heavy duty landing gear for carrier "landings". No
folding wing. No need.... the F6F was quite capable in its place.

F-106 Speed record questions.... by
David E. Powell
OK, now this is really old information, but as a kid I recall reading
somewhere that the F-16 set a record for single-engine production fighters,
with a top speed of Mach 2.32, and that this was (at the time I heard) still
a record for single engine production fighters.
Is this true, or did it set...

real world. I guess it's very dangerous military aircraft fly much fast

james_anatidae
I was wondering at about what point that the United States going to war with
the Soviet Union become an almost certain act of mutual destruction. I'm
assuming it sometime in 1960's or 70's, since what I've seen of the Soviet
nuclear capability before that point doesn't seem to be all...
