What are the comparative thrust and specific fuel consumptions of the 2 airplanes' powerplants? What will the fuel burn be for a typical approach and vertical landing for the F-35? There is some scant info from RN 801 Squadron in their Falklands ops on INVINCIBLE. ISTR that Sharkey Ward insisted they use their fuel on CAP and not in the pattern, with some *really* low fuel loads at land-on, and not much burned during their approach and translation maneuver. Most 801 flights were 2 ship CAPs. Is there a USN "best practice" for fuel load at the trap ? Five minutes of fuel at a given SFC, or something like that ? ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =---
