the absolute top speed of the typhoon is 2100mph. which is when the wings will fall off, the realistic top speed is 1800mph, super cruise speed is classified

it has the radar cross section of a fridge

its the worlds best strike fighter, and nothing will stand in its way if 500 came your way, even if the eurofighter is'nt a real typhoon with the MoD's rolls royce engine

the whole of america's airforce would be wiped out in 2 or 3 days, and they will be left with only laser air defense cannons

the j20 would be destroyed by the typhoon, its full of MoD's classified hardware that can bring down the raptor in a dogfight, while the eurofighter is the basic plane for other government to upgrade with their own custom classified hardware if they have any

the only thing a eurofighter has in common with a typhoon is the physic's it uses to fly with the flyby wire system

MoD does'nt pay for everything BAE System's do, BAE System's is a company with investors, the is the secret underground city of salisbury plain, where all the classfied MoD side of BAE System's work which is why the wiltshire is the UFO hotspot of the uk, which work like 2 seperate companies

all the classified materials the MoD pay's for, will only be used on the british military vehicles, like the shielding on challenger 2 tank, and target tracking system, and all other system's with makes the typhoon a typhoon and not a eurofighter

the typhoon is still the best jet fighter in the world, which is why is can easily beat the lockheed raptor in a dog fight without the typhoon being stealth

"Be careful what you wish for: if we ask gov to abolish the Licence Fee they'll just add the sum to income tax."

that won't happen, the TV channels pay OFCOM to use the freeview spectrum out of the money earned from advertising

Re: If you have issues with the Telly Tax...

no chance of me ever watching the BBC, its for brain dead people, every program is mundane, if they have anything intelligent on it, its all dumbed down for 11 year olds who watch eastenders to understand it, i have'nt watched nothing on the BBC for 20 years, and it is all deleted off of my freeview channel list

should'nt need to pay for something you care nothing about

Re: even if the price is possible - how much fuel would this lot need for mass transport

>flying at mach 8 at 80->90 km high just below micro gravity, carrying enough oxygen for the generator only, to generate the electric needed for the EM Drive

Re: even if the price is possible - how much fuel would this lot need for mass transport

it will cost less then flights of today on airbus concorde 2 with EM Drive that can go half the speed of light

Re: So?

"As the credit card is linked directly to the bank account and automatically debits 100% of the balance at the end of the month, credit cards have little value over debit cards, currently."

thats a debit card, a credit is the company lending you money and then you paying interest on the amount if you don't pay the money back within the interest free time

Re: London not on the list

"Bristol has above average productivity?"

its the tech capital of the uk, with the biggest collection of chip makers in one area outside of silicon valley, and aload of aerospace and military weapon designers etc

Re: So either, or

MoD have brought 10 or something, and they will have 50+ taranis drones

Re: Genuine question

the eurofighter main role is a strike plane and dogfighting, it was built to commemorate the battle of britain which is why the research alone besides needing to update all of BAE super computers and aerospace simulatioins etc cost £30bn

with a seriously massive overhaul, you can build unmanned stealth drones for £5m

Re: Genuine question

"Is that 300m with a full weapons load, just air-to-air missile, or for a flying display? The latter is great and all but not really why people buy combat aircraft."

the eurofighter would never need a full payload, its built for dogfighting, and risky situations with dogfighting moves with ground to air protection, which is why it beat the lockheed raptor in a dogfight

the F35 would be used for the basic operations

Re: Quote: "Once we see the jets arrive on board next year, it’ll be able to operate seamlessly"

XP is used for debugging tools and telemetry hooking up to the CMOS and firmwares which would otherwise be a massive security hole in the real time UNIX based OS, everything switches to when it enters service

Re: Genuine question

it would be more todo with the UK not needing rubbish planes because BAE built the best which is the eurofighter and only needs 300m to take off

the f35 is rubbish and only used for basic operations

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

if a new shuttle shoots off at 200,000 MPH, it would take 170 hours to get to mars

34,000,000 / 200,000 = 170

170 hours is long enough in todays world, anymore and most people on the planet will get pandorum

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

and there are plenty of photo's which show's those panels do not work, NASA is useless and too poor and has falling a long way behind the rest of the world of doing any good, they have to spend most of their money on the useless SLS

the ISS sheilding would be 100% useless on a shuttle which shoots off at a minimum speed of 200,000 MPH so you could get to mars in a few months or a day

material using some kind of collision physic's will be like http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2013/04/Hypervelocity_Impact

all of NASA's sheilding for every meter/sq would way around 8KG, while graphite/silicon based hull would be around 1KG

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

its in TV programs that have been on since the 1990's, 5 copper plates 1/4 inch thick, 1 -> 2 inches apart, and that is used to stop space dust

its just the same as this, so i guess they use ceramic nowadays https://www.nasa.gov/centers/wstf/laboratories/hypervelocity/mmod.html

silicon and graphite and some colliision physic's would end up more like http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Operations/Space_Debris/Hypervelocity_impacts_and_protecting_spacecraft

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

no, the challenger 2 was industructable 30 years ago, the alloy and copper plating involves no physics, it just works and has been said in tv programs thousands of times

a want to see a sweet new shuttle buzzing around the solar system painted with >> https://www.surreynanosystems.com/vantablack

take on aliens with stupid glowing balls with absolute darkness

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

bottom line anyway, in todays world there are enough carbons, graphites and silicons, to which you should be able to make new hull material including some form of collision phsyic's if you are going to carry on using 6 -> 8 inches worth in depth

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

you can do some dodgy physic, what goes through my quantum brain is too hard to explain

except in space everything is weightless, and gravitational fields are always changing unless you intersteller

Re: "I'll put my money on a Skylon."

alloy is a joke in space, its reinforced with 8 inches of copper on satellites so space dust cannot penetrate vital parts, and belongs in the 1990's, and would also be alot more weight having to carry extra alloy plating if abit of space debris between the size of dust and a minoe/goldfish, hits your hull with a terminal velocity of probably 200,000 MPH +. as man's first deep space shuttle would'nt just be shooting off at half the speed of light

having some modern classified toughened graphite compound would make alot easier when it comes to fixing a hull, as the hull would'nt be less then 1 inch thick

even if you beat a toughend graphite tennis racket with a hammer, it will end up in alot better shape then a alloy racket
