![]() "t_mark" wrote ... Actually,_one_generation apart although that generation is about 30 years long. Typhoon benefits from better propulsion technology, controls technology and somewhat better structural technology so it would be strange if a Typhoon wasn't substantially better than a F-15C. In fact if it turns out not to be, a passel of British aero- and -propulsion engineers should be looking for jobs. Now the story is they were C models? No, my statement is that a Typhoon had better be superior to an ATA configured Eagle (an F-15C), never mind a Mud Hen. There's no "story" there and there's no stupid chauvinism either. In case you haven't noticed, the main operator of Typhoons is Great Britain, who is on_our_side. It makes no difference in the size of_my_weenie whether a thirty year old McAir design is superior to a ten year old BAE design in a dog fight. |
