frodrigues2016 Posted November 15, 2023 Posted November 15, 2023 Hello to all here at DCS and all who like simulators Would like to discuss the topic General Dynamics that was the makers of the F-16 Falcon and Fighting Falcon in my case. I am a military fortunate on the Reserves now and i like the company General Dynamics in the U.S. they even have a Information Techonolgy Department has you all know the Falcon is a very popular jet in NATO more agile and capable of superior manouvers than the F-15 Eagle that for its time was the air superiority fighter in the U.S.A Now the Falcon is very popular in the World specially in the WEST and not so popular in the EAST i think that in the future they are going to replace the Falcon by something superior. I have send a message to General Dynamics to be part of a project called F-24 "Owl" a substitute for the air superiority fighter F-22 "Raptor" since the F-24 "Owl" is a multi-role fighter i think it could esaly replace the F-16 Falcon in NATO the Owl in Nature is a bird with diferent features of that in the Falcon but i think the Owl is superior because everyone thinks that owls have personality of their own and in the Medieval Times they represented knowledge so if you like to talk about Falcons Eagles Foxbats Foxhounds or even Freedom Fighters and Phantoms i swere i will read carefully all your comments.

Rick50 Posted January 28 Posted January 28 F-24 Owl ? Sorry, I know nothing about this project... and a google search didn't give me anything of value. Is it 5th gen ? Not stealthy? Other nations haven't bought the Raptor because the Pentagon wants to keep it's stealth secrets, and it's also really expensive jet. So much so that America's replacement for the F-15c is the F-15EX, 128 have been delivered already. Nations looking for more capability than the F-16 seem to be choosing the F-35 for stealth, and F-15E or EX variants for longer distance bombing/attack. Keep in mind that many nations with F-16's can't afford to go to something much bigger... some of them the F-16 might have been a budgetary "stretch" to buy in the first place. Those who can afford to spend more, are buying F-35's seemingly in most cases. Those who can't spend lots more, are considering aircraft like the Grippen from your pictures! And maybe also the Super Tucano (though much different roles and applications). I'm curious to learn more about this F-24... What expertise would you be able to bring to the development of this new F-24 ? Are you an SME of some kind?

Ok cool, but those are all Gripen photos, and they are not made by General Dynamics, they're made by Saab, a Swedish company. 1 F-16 / Su-33 / Ka-50 F-16 Checklists (Kneeboard compatible) F-16 BVR training missions
