Kbrock,
Thanks for posting that. It makes me wonder why they even want to go for full digital in a jet that was designed, aerodynamically, to be hyd/mech/elec. I can't think what advantage FBW will bring to a stable, but agile, jet. Any ideas anyone?
Oh, and 18 months to test it? Half of me thinks that's optomistic and the other suddenly sees the answer to my question. It's all Boeing income. Maybe it's my cynical side creeping in.
LO, that's what I think too. Actually, I think it's more than you think - or maybe more than you are stating here.
Coff, that wasn't a super car, the definition of LO and VLO kept changing and it ended up 93% over-budget (anyone recognise the figure 93%?). The operators did appreciate the excellent rearwar vis, but it failed its MoT test. Who would have thought?
HJ, if you get an answer I shall be very, but pleasantly surprised.
Moomin, spot on.
Now, more important, this is the first Weber outing of the year and, at the moment, we have a slight sticking problem due to start of year burning off and insufficient oiling. Off to sort it out.
