RAAF PC-21 Cockpit

Persistence pays, got a breakthrough from the Pope's visit to Iraq: Here are the wind and engine inspection lights (by the L & the I) on the pope's plane and and they are displaced several feet from the engine. I am might measure the distance later. These are the actual light and they are...

With air temperature in the negative double digits at 5,000m, I am thinking "how difficult could it be to air cool"?

Like so. The light and reflector will be angled. The are recessed below the surface. A flat transparent cover, parallel to the plane's surrounding surfaces us what we see. Like the three light below, the can be pointed in a direction and the mounting surface/well untouched

Sometimes I don't know why I bother! .... .... please watch the designer presenting the plane and giving the above details. He say radius of action is 1,400km for air to air mode. This is at 5:26

Which RCS are you saying is wrong?

Sorry, this is what is in the document, In fact from that document: Mig-29SMT = 6sqm Su-30SM = 10sqm Su-35 = 9sqm Su-34 = 10smq J-16 = 3sqm In any case the FRP says " (data might not reflect true weapon system performances)", so in reality the information is not that helpful

The Belgian Air Component RFQ puts FC-1/JF-17 at average 10sqm. I would assume that is loaded and likely that would be against an airborne radar. There is also the question of aspect/direction. https://www.belgianmilitaryinterests.be/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Request-for-Government-Proposal.pdf

All presentations of the AESA have not been with a canted cone:

What was said? Can you please qoute for some of us?

Early Block 2 production in primer. This will be an images about 5 years old. The radar cannot be AESA.

I thought I could see it too even in this image:

2 x Guided bombs on there

You can always make space at the expense of something. They might have to accept that there will be a unsightly bulge somewhere. They may have to relocate something else and make space for it. They maybe relocate processors for the EOTS and radar away from the nose, maybe make on fuel tank...
