How are they Anti-iced?
And how do they load the weapon bays or have the legs been extended? |
Bleed air anti ice for the full leading edge:

The European Union. Aaaanyway, b on t, is it an option for any other 737 types to have bleed air derived LE anti ice ?? |
Looks like the engine is a 7BE,last iteration of the CFM56, before the LEAP. I would guess the engine fan cowl bulge is for additional generator blast cooling ,rather than to accommodate a ‘physically’ larger IDG? |

Different to the USN Poseidon then? They have 2 times 180kva IDG/generators,a huge cost,if true! |
Ex-Nimrod mission crew wanted as rejoiners - Pilot / WSO / WSOp - fast entry up to age 57:

Sorry if already mentioned, but it sounds like the P-8's radar could be quite handy for overland tracking, if say you find your MPA operating over some sandbox for example, never happen would it? ;)
Like a mini- JSTARS. "It is said the sensor is so sensitive that it can even pick up a formation of people moving over open terrain," Tyler Rogoway in 2014 wrote about the APS-149. "Also, the speed of the system's double-sided [electronically-scanned] array allows for multi-mode operations at one time with near-360-degree coverage, meaning that scanning, mapping, tracking and classifying targets can all happen near simultaneously, resulting in massive amounts of data for multiple platforms and decision makers around the theater and beyond to exploit" https://nationalinterest.org/blog/bu...-targets-51537 |
