So much for the Eurofighter...
http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com...m?id=614292004
Seems the British are going to sell off a lot of these 'super' planes before they even enter service with the RAF. I suppose that if the program hasn't been cancelled yet, it never will be... but still, it's pretty funny. By the way, is it true that they still can't fly it above 1200 meters or through clouds? |

By the way, is it true that they still can't fly it above 1200 meters or through clouds? No. Is it true the F/A-22 is now predicted to cost something like $350 million per airframe? Getting your news on aviation from the Scotland on Sunday website is a bit like getting it from the site below. http://www.counterpunch.org/f22.html I suggest you seek out better informed sources. I do. John |

I do. Someone had posted that link, and I reposted it here. That's why I asked if it were true, because it seemed pretty crazy. The pertinant information in the article was that the RAF were going to sell a lot of their Typhoon inventory before it even went into service (which I assume is true, and is a pretty big deal in and of itself), but the technical info seemed suspect to me. I just figured that people here would know the details better than whoever wrote that article. |
