Its an old joke that began in Agincourt where even the French admit themselves that they flew the traditional french war flag of a white cross on a white background and promptly fled the battlefield. We annihilated the French in the 100 years war and there are many many accounts of the French fleeing battle. Old joke, but it's priceless. "I've still got my longbow fingers"

It's a French aircraft. No need to fear it, you can guarantee it'll run at the first sign of a fight.

You should try taking some hang glider lessons. Hang gliding is awesome and it's cheap. PPL and CPL are extortionate. After you get PPL you can hire single engines by the hour. If you want to feel the real experience of flying you can't beat a hang glider. I notice your from Hereford! Beautiful part of the country! And perfect for hang gliding.

RAM consists of mainly oxidised metals. The most advanced RAM on the F-22 is the indium tin oxide coating on the canopy. These types of RAM are widely available in the market. If your foolish enough to believe the Russians can't manufacture a coating that's as good if not even better than the US coatings then your sadly mistaken. In fact there are more efficient materials available that out perform even ITO.

F-22??, PAK-FA?? ...Amateurs, check out Iran's new 5th gen fighter. Lol. http://www.buzzpatrol.com/irans-photoshop-howler-raises-questions-over-fighter-jet/

Interesting topic. I thought L band can detect range by pulse delay. Range equals half the round trip of the speed of light. If the USN are able to use UHF with an acceptable level of tracking to target airborne threats in azimuth and elevation then L band must also be able to give an acceptable level of tracking in azimuth and elevation for airborne threats.

That would make sense then GG. Loss of hydraulic pressure due to a low power supply would decrease the effectiveness of control surfaces.

It's a closed loop system, do you mean hydraulic pressure?

Thanks GG.

Hi, does anyone know the minimum relative speed required to enter the doppler notch in FC? Thanks.

Will the Eagles RWR give a launch warning when a missile is fired in TWS mode on the Fulcrum?

That's a great smart arse comment gonna have to remember that one!

RWR does display active missiles by placing an m in a diamond. The diamond symbol indicates a lock. The symbol inside the the diamond indicates the threat.

The Eagles RWR only indicates actives. RWR indicates lock from fire control radar of the platform launching SARH and IR. MAWS will alert you to all missiles incoming including IR Missile guided by EOS. RWR and MAWS will tell you all you need to know in regards to which CM to deploy. It's good practise to deploy both types of CM when inbound missile is guided by radar lock. Many Russian pilots try following up with an IR shot after AR/SARH. For actives the closer the flashing M gets to the centre of the RWR the closer the missile is to you. The small cross hair in the centre of the RWR is your position on RWR. The RWR is relative in position to threats.
