Haven't some K's recieved some sort of recent cockpit upgrade anyway, fully glassified?
Well, most of the crew have Iphones if that counts....
Unless you define "glassify" as the clinking of Kio brandy bottles on the way back from AKI....
ou can knock qinetiq all you like but they werent even around when the floor got cleared for most things and if you want to take lockgreeds word for anything you are a fool
Sorry, not knocking anyone . I just think it ludicrous that we think we can do better time and time again, instead of just going fully COTS trials clearances and all. Why was a full flight test regime necessary to re-clear an aircraft that already had US clearances? Not knocking of ANY of those involved in the tests, I just think in a world that is focussed on delivering a product that functions in a cost-efficient manner. I don't see how a full flight test regime is compatible with cost-effectiveness.
