Quote from: SredniVashtar on November 03, 2022, 06:47:12 AMDid the Harrier use vertical take-off much or was it too much hassle usually? I always assumed it must have been generally easier to take off conventionally and the VTOL bit was there to be used just in case. I wonder if it was a case of getting all the boffins together to do something unusual, but actually not having much of a use for it, a bit like Concorde. I saw it bowing to the crowd at a few air shows when I was a youngster, and sometimes I wondered if that was about the extent of its usefulness.

It was designed as a close support ground attack aircraft in the 60's. It was unique in design, had the biggest turbine ever fitted in any aircraft so it could basically hide in the forests of West Germany durung the cold war at a moments notice go and bomb the crap out of advancing Soviet tanks.

It used vectored thrust so was highly maneuverable and could take off from unfinished flat areas or at a push vertically. I say at a push because as said before, doing that is very power/fuel hungry and rips up the surface.

So short take off and landing was more favourable compromise. Hence the ski jump on carriers-Hermes. Not an easy thing to fly and they had more than their share of accidents. But it proved its worth in the Falklands spat and was very effective because it was so agile.

Quote from: pate on November 03, 2022, 05:36:46 AMWhat I am getting from this statement/story is that "La Grande Angleterre" population of weakchinned inbreeds lack sufficient numbers of citizens on the "Right Side of The Bell Curve" in intellectual ability to fill the 24-26 pilot seats for the available F-35's?



In short;  you and Shred come from a nation of village idiots?  Even your masses of Imported Immigrant Imbeciles cannot supply the aching need for "High Speed Pilots" and instead can only supply a great many SPEDs?

Maybe your Gov't should look into a different aircraft for the beached HMS PrinzKaaang of Whales, something like this one:



I am just trying to help, you could pay these "High SPED Pilots" with cookiesbiscuits and candy:  probably gain a significant cost savings there;  which could be used on the refit of the "Crown Jewel of The Fleet."

Nautical Shore?

Cheers!

Not at all. Thing is a graduate with those qualifications can pick and choose their career; Should they take a job at a huge corporation and earn a few million over the years ahead...or, train for three years to be a pilot with no gaurantee they'll be selected to go on to be a fast jet fighter jockey. Be shunted around the world at a moments notice, possibility of being killed in action and not get paid anywhere near the rewards of being a civvy....hmmm.

Quote from: pate on November 02, 2022, 07:40:53 PMOver two whole dozen is stunning:  more so if it is a Baker's Dozen!



This is the main factor:

QuoteThe F-35's price per unit, including ancillary costs like depot maintenance, ground support equipment, and spare parts is $110.3 million per F-35A, $135.8 million per F-35B, and $117.3 million per F-35C. Those totals do not include the nearly $1.3 trillion in life cycle costs to operate and sustain the aircraft over its 66-year life cycle, making it the most expensive weapons system in U.S. history.

The Tories commissioned the carriers and the aircraft it would carry.
I believe there was a bid to use the carrier version of the Dassault Rafale. But as always happens politics gets in the way over actual practicalities.

Thing is the ships are built around the aeroplanes they carry so they can't now change it without a catastrophically expensive refit of both ships.
Jet fighters and bombers are just highly sophisticated weapon platforms and their support and the infrastructure on the carrier is geared to that.

As for lack of crew to fly them: Before leaving school (late 70's) I looked into joining the RAF. I'd spoken to a few RAF aircrew (I was a cadet at the time) and most said the travel and training was second to none, but to be a pilot (or even navigator) you needed at least an engineering or physics degree (and a good grade in either). And maths was a biggie. At the time my maths was shocking, improved no end after school, go figure!
Today they can really pick and choose. Candidates to apply for aircrew must have excellent degrees, first class at least. They also need to be computer literate, and able to multi task to a level that defies credulity. The navy has even higher requirements! So the lack of pilots doesn't surprise me. They won't lower their standards to fill an ejector seat.

Apparently after the laying on of hands in the Oval office episode, abd they went their separate ways, donny smirked to his entourage and said "Can you believe any of that shit just happened?". He thought it a joke. Which it was of course.

Hmmm, you forgot how he mentioned it once, but the booes that came back reminded him of the monster he'd hitherto encouraged to grow. Trump has very few talents, but he can read a room. Since then schtumn. Not that he ever gave a shit about his cult or anyone else.

But that's not really surprsing as he has much more pressing things to deal with, in a legal sense.

But his retards (your phrase) have jumped on the 'stolen election' bandwagon. Then, his retards are from red states who enjoy the least educated people (who he loves!) in the country. 

Yeah, I got vaccinated, but not because of anything that orange dumb fuck said.

"The book will explain in detail how Donald John Trump's name means The Ruler of the World, Graced by Yahweh the Lord, and descendant of a Drummer."

I like the last part, very metal



And all this time I believed his Scottish mother and half German father might have chosen his name. Granted, his dad changed his name from the original Drumpf, maybe to distance himself from his own father's less than stellar behaviour.

Quote from: Juan on November 02, 2022, 10:52:43 AMHow did David contact Drumpft to get his instructions?

In typical mob boss fashion, drump never gives direct orders, he suggests things might happen or uses proxies, such as Tucker, or maybe Bannon.

When Steve Scalise was shot, and the perp was arrested, the entire Congress was outraged. But because the Repulsives are shit scared of the cult that adore drump, very few have said anything approaching condemming the attacker of Paul Pelosi.

I wonder if it would be the same if he'd been killed? Yep. Probably. Gotta keep donny happy or he'll shit his diaper.

No, he means he runs his mouth. The reason suspects are cautioned about speaking before legal representation is because it can be used as evidence, which could be detrimental to their defence. It's very simple. Keep your trap shut unless/until your lawyer advises otherwise.

Anyway, drump will bail him out, they both subscribe to Qanon, kindred spirits, and donny has the cash.

QuoteEven leftists can't stand leftists anymore. You've become that insufferable. I hope you all get hammers.

So you DO advocate violence after all?

No doubt if say McCarthy's wife had been attacked in their home you'd have been quite laid back about the event.

Quote from: SredniVashtar on November 02, 2022, 06:08:31 AMI didn't know that. Noisy bloody things, if I remember rightly, from those times I was dragged to Dunsfold.


Don't you remember the outrage when Cameron announced the dropping of Nimrod AWS and 'mothballing' the Harriers? I'm acquainted with BEA aerospace engineer who had been a development engineer manager on the Harrier and he was most upset. His claim to fame was his leg got a bit part in the Schwarzenegger film when Arnie 'flew' said aeroplane.

The Nimrod cancellation was even more a faux pas. The R&D was nearly complete, but the final cost was deemed too high..it was later found out that it would have been cheaper and a much better platform than the Boeing E5 they bought from the USAF.. OOOPS.

It's an old navy tradition. New aircraft carrier gets commisioned. Goes to sea, things okay for a day or two and bang! Ships engineers discover someone in the shipyard forgot a vital component. Ship limps back to port, the offending fitter/lickspittle is found and  dragged back to the ship. He's stripped naked and his ankles are attached to a goodly length of rope. A diver goes down and takes the other end of rope, swims under the keel, up the other side and the miscreant's wrists tied to the rope. He's then thrown over the side and hauled under the ship (and being a carrier, this is a lengthy and no doubt distressing period of time) and up the other side. If he's alive he's allowed to say sorry for the bother he caused.

Traditions is traditions!

The Harrier is no longer in service with the RN. Or the RAF. It's the F35 that will be used by P of W and Queen Liz.

In fareness the USN shares Faslane with the RN. So it could be argued they have a shoe horned squatters rights say.

The biggest obstacle to any invasion is the terrain. Glasgow city centre on weekend is both an uplifting joyeous experience and terrifying. Further north the incoming invaders would have the brutally cold weather to tackle.

I'm curious: what did you think the ramp/ski jump at the end of the flight deck might have been used for before it was explained?

The guys who design these things have decades of engineering experience between them. The aircraft engineers, the ordnance engineers, the people who calculate maximum take off weights with available take off runs, using available thrust output.
