Let us say I am a greedy dog who lusts after the power of Prime Ministership. I need to go up against these scum whom the public is following blindly. Well, the first thing I need to do is to create a brand that differentiates me from the scum. This brand hi-lights the theft, the greed of the...
What it does show is a hunger for recognition of his family's supposedly frugal lifestyle. People see the hunger, not the lifestyle. And people see you as a paid mouthpiece doing his dirty work for him.
@Iron Shrappenel in order to conclude, or even meaningfully propose, a SABR like solution being used on Block 3, we need to identify the coolant pump that is part of the SABR kit.
Before we go any further, have you considered the fact that air conditioning is needed in the cockpit itself? So there are already mechanisms in place to bring in cool air.
There is an unambiguous, thick metal pipe right behind the opening for the AESA radar. This looks physically similar to...
So you have a SiC substrate layer bringing heat out of the radar. What is the alternative you are proposing? It is not clear from what you have written above.
Before we come to your questions, let us first review available information on how liquid cooling is achieved historically
Active Electronically Steered Arrays - A Maturing Technology (ausairpower.net)
Also, take a look at the characteristics of Polyalphaolefin:
POLYALPHAOLEFIN, CONTAINS...
Hybrid here means you don't need liquid coolant running across the TRMs within the radar. A substrate layer, such as SiC would remove the heat, thus negating the need to bring the coolant into the nose cone. Subsequently, liquid coolant will remove heat from the posterior part of the unit.
Take a look at the piping used in F-16. It is possible they took a commercial solution and made it more robust. Also, coolant could react with metallic tubing in the long run, and will have different flow characteristics when flowing over metal vs tubing...
The frontal nose of B-s is completely different from the frontal nose of Block 3s as we recently saw. The Bs continue the solid frontal panel seen in previous blocks, whereas Block 3 has a square opening in front.
It is possible that the single metallic pipe covers twin tubes inside.
Delta-canard is no magic. The flight envelope is determined by a combination of:
1. Aerodynamics
2. Ability of airframe to handle stresses
3. Ability of engine to produce thrust
You can take an airframe that is not optimized for a certain maneuver, and simply brute force through engine power...
Please, feel free to make a quick exit. But your initial complaint about the Mirages was that they are 'disintegrating in mid-air', not that they will disintegrate during combat. In that respect, the comparison with B-52s is quite relevant.
If you are trying to say that Mirage airframes are not...
I don't disagree with that, but I still wonder... it's been a while since KT tested it in dive mode. PAC has a full overhaul facility for the SNECMA. Have they made any mods? Who knows. I'm just speculating.
