BAE has a very stringent disclosure of information rule within in employment.
Why are you telling me this? Do you think I care? What company doesn't have strict disclosure rules? If you even knew an engineer, why are you
posting there information on a forum? Hm?
The British Helmets which we fly with are 100% different to the american counter part.
Yeah, and what difference does that make? On The F-35 the HMD is primarily Israeli and American, that includes the helmet the RAF are going to be
using too.
American's really really need to smell the coffee.....With out the UK your two bit off the shelf plane would never have seen the light of
day.
ROFL.
Without BAe systems, Lockheed would and could, just contract another company. Without the F-35, well, your 'friend', would not have a job.
I have already stated i have information regarding the JSF and of the carrier version of the typhoon.
There have been only studies in the feasability of turning the Eurofighter into a carrier variant. They have NOT launched it, they have NOT developed
it, nor is there any funding for CATOBAR, or even ANY of it. If the F-35 gets cancelled, then it is actually more likely the Rafale would get funded,
before a navalisede Eurofighter.
You stated that the americans would not give us the full technology....
HELLO its been built in samlesbury!!! HELLO Samlesbury
They're building and designing the aft fuselage and empanage at Samlesbury, you know, the twin vertical stabilisers. Besides, the structural elements
have absolutely nothing to do with the classified elements of the JSF - those are in the way of sensors, VLO, and software, most of which BAe would
not have any access to.
We even had to send our test pilot over to fly it because you aren't capable.
Well, first of all, last time I checked the United Kingdom had more than one test pilot. Second of all, John Beazley, Lockheed Martin, flew the F-35
for the first time, all the pilots for the F-35 are American, but ONE. Test pilot who flew the F-35B for the first time was Graham Tomlinson, - a
former Royal Air Force Harrier pilot now employed by BAE Systems. So far, the F-35B has done nothing the F-35A has not done.
the engine is a british design and a british engine.
No, ONE engine of TWO engines is FORTY PERCENT British, which itself is likely to be CANCELLED. Do you even bother to spend 15 seconds researching the
garbage you've been posting?
It5 goes to show when the americans during the recent conflict in the gulf fly at 30000ft to drop a bomb in a newer aircraft to our harrier
flying at 30ft and not getting blown up!!!
You've been wrong on every single point, so what does that show exactly? What does altitude have to do with anything? Besides, flying high is more
fuel efficient, so you can stay up there for longer.
Later this evening i will be meeting with a top engineer and designer from BAE as they want to piss themselves laughing at this
thread.
Laughing at yourself, Ian? I mean, what is this, a 'I have more connections than you' thread? How immature, and that's even if it's true. I doubt
someone who knows 'top engineers' is going to have the maturity of a 12 year old.
The engineer had to practically redesign your entire plane due to the desing being flawed.
More BS AGAIN!!!
So, a single engineer, redesigned an entire plane? A job of maybe, a few thousand people? What planet are you on? This is not Microsoft Flight
Simulator. Furthermore, the problems with the JSF stemmed from electrical systems, which, some parts like the flight control system, were partly
designed by BAe. Had there of been a problem that were fixed by BAe, then the problem would of been CAUSED by BAe too.
The ENGINE problems are with the F-135 designed and manufactured by PRATT & WHITNEY. It is possible other elements were redesigned by BAe or
Rolls-Royce, that's what they're paid to do. Once we gave them the concept, it's not Lockheeds job to design everything for them.
Just one to think about....we are building JSF we are building Eurofighter
Well if you spent 15 seconds searching this I wouldn't need to tell you. Parts of the JSF were contracted to Rolls-Royce and BAe. These include a
small work share of a second engine choice, the rear fuselage, lift-fan, and a part in EOTS. Most are going to be built at Lockheed Martins plant at
FORT WORTH, these include RAFs jets. Some European planes may be built by Alenia in Italy, however.
Similarly, many parts of the Eurofighter were developed, or even manufactured in the USA. And these include Weapons.
we have even started the carrier version of the JSF
No, all versions of the JSF were primarily designed and led by Lockheed Martin, developed in UNISON with the other F-35 varients. All versions of the
JSF are assembled at Lockheed Martins plant in FORTH WORTH, perhaps some in Italy by Alenia.
I wonder what else we have been building.....British design has always led the technological world we were even leading the space
race!
Britain would presently be roughly on parity with the rest of the Western world in technology, and that includes the United States. Likely behind in
stealth, sensors, and manufacturing, actually. Space race? Yeah, because everyone knows that you guys have been to the moon and beyond. Ever even
launched a single rocket that's launched a satellite?
I think if you all remember back the americans ran an experiment to see if they could hide there stealth bomber and flew over the lakes! we
had two tornados follow it
Stealth design is designed to minimize radar observability, it cannot eliminate it. What this means is, detection ranges are reduced, not eliminated.
So yes, there is no reason to doubt stealth fighters and bombers have been intercepted many times. However, given a Russian Tu-160 came within 20
miles of your coast, undetected, I wouldn't exactly brag about it, it makes you look like a fool.
Im not going to post anymore until i have spoken with these guy's tonight and if you guy's have vent or skype we can have a real laugh and
ill call you up!
then you can argue with the techs!
SURE! I have VENTRILLO and TEAMSPEAK 2. Come on, post the server details and time here. My microphone broke but I can still type it.
Infact, get him to register on ATS. Does he have MSN? What about an email?
