If UK wish to remain relevant in global affairs, then time to flex your muscles and chart your own course to glory. Put your remarkable talents to good use for the needful.

Thanks bro.

Thanks bro.

You will be surprised how many like the British actually.

Flex those British Muscles of yours, mate.

Make the Western hemisphere multi-polar as well.

Yes of course, refreshing to here. It's usually the opposite on here, even though my Birth/homeland and fatherland enjoy strong ties. But anyway, that's another topic.

The real crown of industry. We have a 20~30 years of gap btw P&W/RR/GE, and the R&D investment is not matching.

The propulsion design of the Tempest fighter jet will be aerodynamically matched to the air platform, optimising overall performance, range and payload capability.

Rolls-Royce’s optimised Thermal Management System will utilise the gas-turbine as a heat ‘sink’ to recycle thermal energy around the platform. This removes the need for overboard venting and improves overall system efficiency.

Increased electrical power generation capability coupled with an intelligent power management system will meet the growing demand for air vehicle electrical power. This integrated power approach reduces the number of energy exchanges, maximising the potential of the gas-turbine as the primary power source.

Thanks for posting the great RR video!

Looking at British Aircraft design History...pretty much every design is "weird" .
This one just carries on the trend
That English Electric Lightning with strangest air intake for its time, and that Vulcan with the strangest wing design of its era, and now this .

On a serious not, this ship has something unusual for a western platform, similar to Russian designs , this one seems to have rear radar or sensor compartment, between the engines.

The engine shows a carbon fiber blades at the front, which dont move? and then all metal afterwards?

Engines aside, I'm looking forward to seeing the super computer that will utilise all that extra electrical power and automatise the aircraft.

Till to date the Rolls Royce are unchallenged in Engine design and manufacturing, even US companies come second. Their TRENT series are the only safest engines most airliners prefer. The Russians and Chinese are decades behind RR in its Engine Metallurgical MIX. Regarding TEMPEST it looks like a very interesting concept, definitely it will end up more costlier than the F35 series. The thing that interested me more in the video clip was the energy/heat management and balance involved around the engine. Surely reminded me of the early 90s when i did my masters in "Process Integration" from UMIST.

How about UK first focuses on getting its Army back in the size that it should have. British Army should not be less than 120000 but they are bringing it down to 55000 which is the most disastrous step Britian could take.

my two cents. RR is losing market in US. More GE engines used instead of RR.
UK and EU to a large extent lack the ambition to invest on next generation fighter. Even China invest more than EU combined. Russia invest on stealthy jet and long range bomber with 1.5 trillion GDP.
Without those big commercial and military projects, RR's fate is uncertain. RR investor won't invest without a market and profit on the horizon.
China on the other hand, invest no matter it's profitable or not. Actually the market is there, China need to replace 1000+ 737 and maybe later on 1000+ 320 neo.

The single biggest market is 737 and 320. RR failed to get not a single contract. Both 737 and 320 use either CFM International or Pratt & Whitney.

Rolls Royce is the jewel in the crown of British Aviation, and one of the key reasons why Tempest can be successful if the goverment does not pull the rug out underneath from this programme. Safran will struggle to build an equivalent engine for the FCAS programme and why I think it will eventually fail or will be a substandard product.

I am really excited about this programme and i think it will be far more successful than the EU FCAS programme.
