Amazing. That IS amazing. This truly illustrates how evolutionary (rather than revolutionary) aircraft design has become. It also highlights America's unprecedented world dominance. Imagine: world competition is so inconsequential that the United States can rule the skies while flying the equivalent of a 3-masted schooner... Of course, look at the F-15 Eagle, which was developed 32 years ago. In World War II, that would have been like going to war in a Wright Model B Flyer! According to that issue of AVweb, the Army wants to use blimps. Ha! Not only can we beat 'em with one hand tied behind our back, but we can do it with both hands and feet tied and blindfolded, too! Hold it. Are you knocking blimps (air ships)? Blast it, forgot the smiley.
