Boeing is in no visible hurry to develop a more elegant solution to the
weapons separation issues that lead to the 4º cant / toe-out of the Super Hornet's wing pilons. I'm not hearing too much complain from the Navy either. The reasons that have me worried about this current solution a 1: It increases drag, impacting range and performance; 2: It increases the aircraft's head-on radar signature; 3: It generates great lateral stress loads on the weapons and the wing itself. It may be that I am ignorant on the above points and those are non-issues; it may be that I am out of the loop, and Boeing is really working hard on a solution. Any pointers you'd like to contribute, for or against my impressions? _____________ José Herculano |
