On another tack, as the aircraft are to have both RAF and Civil certification, how will EASA certify a civil aircrtaft with refuelling pods and in flight refuelling capability?!!


I was talking to a member of the LBA (Luftfahrtbundesamt, German civvy authority ) and asked him the very same question. The answer was "They are not interested in the refuelling capabilities of the aircraft, but want to see how the extra weight and equipment (Pods and Fuel Tanks) effect the handling and flight caracteristics".
We flew lots of flutter and in the A330 (Spain) stall flights.

No doubt Beag's could add more to that than I.
