Re: The Shed is coming…

The Sherpa was the version with the tail hatch, the 330 didn’t have it by default at the start but like so many aircraft they were modified and tweeked over the years. So, think we've got another case of "two peoples separated by one language". When I say "hatch", I literally me...

Re: The Shed is coming…

I don't know that the Sherpa really was/is that much more common than the straight SD330 or SD360. There were less than 50 C-23ABs produced and 30-35 C-23B+ and C-23Cs combined (which were former civilian 360s with a 330 tail "grafted" on) depending on what source you read. Most of what yo...

Hrm, the link comes up as "page not found" for me. This is the link I get when I finally found the thread -

Looks good though! Blackbox seems to be taking on some excellent subjects.

Yeah, that's what I said.
What did you think I said, August?

:dunno: :wasntme:
No, I thought you said Septober, which only works in Rimworld, D&D 3rd Edition, and maybe a couple isolated counties in Utah. :lol: :rofl: :-#

Re: News: American Airlines Announces Agreement to Purchase Boom Supersonic Overture Aircraft, Places Deposit on 20 Over

Cold fusion, even if possible (which I think the issue was that the theory is sound, but everything else wasn't), may not have the kind of power density needed to be commercially viable in the near term. So while I'm sure there's academic research into it, the majority of commercial research is into...

Re: News: American Airlines Announces Agreement to Purchase Boom Supersonic Overture Aircraft, Places Deposit on 20 Over

So a couple things - There were several SST programs run in the US. All of them were stupidly expensive, stupidly optimistic, and the one that might have worked on a reasonable budget was the XB-70 conversion, but it ran into all the problems with delamination of the aluminum honeycomb skin and such...

Re: MSFS Sim Update 10 arrives tomorrow

Did a 2 hour night flight in the Justflight BAe from LOWS to EGKK and it seemed to be not just visually nicer and smoother, but the plane seemed to fly quite a bit smoother and less sensitive than my last flight in it, so some of their other tweaks appear to have had positive effects as well. Will b...
