LO,
I've reviewed my previous two posts and can see how one could intimate the KCAS limit being due to the engine incident. It isn't. KCAS is below final design limit in Block 2B/3iR due to DT schedule - it will be full-up at Block 3F. I don't see the display needing more than the current limit anyway so apologies for the red herring there.
Now, the Gz IS due to the engine and will limit what the pilot can do, hence my comment on the previous "tame" comment. There will be nothing tame about the jet when the pilots are allowed to throw her around and demonstrate its agility in future. Think Super Hornet style of display and you won't be far off. Then, if it's a B variant, finish with the spectacle of hovering and almost no-speed flight manoeuvring. Loud, bold, in your face.
Can't wait for RIAT 16!
