Engines,

As ever, a concise and well made point. Question though about the Gatling. I don't recall the Vulcan cannon taking that long to fire. Of course, I now recall that the flywheel was spun up electrically as soon as we put power on the station. F-15 was the same. I am getting to the point slowly, I promise. Is this installation a 'fire from cold' gun? That would take some spinning up, but I don't know how it works in F35.
