[Heathrow Harry]

what? a Littoral Combat Ship??

Of course you could fly very very low....................

and they cost almost the same as an F-35

[mr fish]

oh not another "flying wing", maybe a few more than twenty this time.




FISH.

I predict, oh all right guess:

Optionally crewed
No control surfaces - flex wings with thrust vectoring
Self-healing stealth coatings
'Invisibility cloak' (Adaptiv (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptiv))

[Heathrow Harry]

"20 year development programme"

[Willard Whyte]

Seems about par for the course, HH.

[NutLoose]

Is this it, the economy fighter?

LiveLeak.com - Budget cuts redesign F-22

[Heathrow Harry]

well of course we're in no place to cast stones......

at least they may get some F-35's in service whereas the Nimrod & TSR-2 fiascos only left us with some expensive scrap........................

[Royalistflyer]

Both of which were down to stupid/corrupt politicians

[Wander00]

Nutloose - love it. Will there be a "Dave" version I wonder?

[Lima Juliet]

I reckon if you put 35kts over the deck of the QE or PoW and you'll get VTOL as well! :ok:

[CoffmanStarter]

And if you add about 12m of Knicker Elastic to the Flight Deck ... The Navy could have a Cat-n-Trap capability :E

[dragartist]

Given me ideas for the stealth version of the e-Go

Do you have any spare knicker elastic Coff? I think I overstretched the last batch causing it to snap.
