It would have a range of a thousand miles, landing gear etc. etc. It would weigh about 7500 pounds and each fighter would carry two. My question is this: The published information I've seen lists the F-22's pylons as being rated at 5000lbs so how would it carry a 7500lb munition? Would they just severly restrict it's G loading when carrying it? Use some kind of adapter that attaches to BOTH hardpoints on a wing and carry it in the middle? Or would they beef up the wing? Are you sure it said "launched," and not "controlled from?" If it really meant "launched," maybe they mistyped "750 pounds." -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |
