Es que mira que ponerle el nombre de algo que no vuela... ¿Qué podía salir mal? [emoji13][emoji13]
Si le hubieran puesto "HAL Cholas"... toda la comunidad hindú en Canarias sabe que pocas cosas vuelan más certeramente en manos de una madre [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

En EEUU empiezan a pensar en sustituir los F15E por F15EX también, pues consideran que tienen muchas mas prestaciones que las que necesita la Guardia Nacional para sustituir sus F15C únicamente en AA e incluso mayor conciencia situacional que el F35.

¿100M$ por motor en 5 años? Eso son 1500h a 2000h(generosísimas) de vuelo. No lo entiendo, o sobran 0s en el precio o falta un 0 en el nº de motores.

[Atticus]

O mantener motores es asi de caro. Que ahi se esta incluyendo reparaciones, utillaje, repuestos y, lo que es mas importante, modernizaciones y mejoras.

[Pathfinder]

Al hilo de porqué el SH es probablemente el caza de 4º con mejor RCS.

Este contrato supone unos $3,8 millones por radar, algo muy parecido a lo que pagan los USMC por ponerlo a sus C/D.

No recuerdo si era éste o el coreano que en una de sus diapositivas lo marcaban como LO (low observable) en vez de VLO (very low observable). Una cosa intermedia entre un 5º y un 4º avanzado.

Las primeras 2 uds de Superhornet Block III han sido entregadas a la US Navy. Pasan de 6.000 horas a 10.000 horas de vida útil, nuevo display panorámico, situación táctica mejorada y mejoras en su firma furtiva sobre los blocks anteriores.

Boeing will build 78 total new aircraft in the Block III configuration, which includes an Advanced Cockpit System built around a touchscreen display; the Tactical Targeting Network Technology, or TTNT; and Distributed Targeting Processor-Networked, or DTP-N.
The network will help link all the sensors from aircraft and ships in the battlespace to create a better operational picture for smarter targeting decisions, and the new processor has 17 times the computing power of the precious mission computer, Jen Tebo, Boeing’s vice president of F/A-18 and EA-18G projects, told reporters Sept. 23. Tebo added that the new, open-design processor can take on yet-to-come upgrades and capabilities.

The Block III jets are also built for 10,000 flight hours compared to 6,000 hours for earlier jets, and they’ve been made stealthier and more survivable with additional treatments that reduce their radar cross section, Tebo explained.
