I cannot get a good picture of a mission where the marines would need 400+ of them with all the support for them but still not have a decent runway! Why are you limiting the situation to needing 400+ at once? The situation is more like "we need a dozen for this small brushfire war in a place where there are no good airstrips," or we need to put a small landing force in at this area, and the bad guys have a few planes, so we need a little fighter cover from the LHDs." If there are no good airstrips how would the marines get their gas, bombs, food, and all the other support? By ship , C-130 or other battlefield airlift asset. Keith |

jrweiss- It's not only a function of high-bypass engines! The J-65 engines
in the older model A-4s BRBR Did the A-4C have J65s? Cuz the 'E' and 'F' and 'T' models I owned in VF-126 all had J52s. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |

John, you're statement above implies that 'he who must not be named' has a clue about something. Do you wish to rephrase? ;-) I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt -- he might have a clue about digital metric altimeters or something similar... |

What is "an unmapped part of the A-320's flight control system" supposed to mean?!? Airbus hadn't programmed their A-320 to do what the operator commanded. Hmmm... I suspect that when the pilot added go-around power, he commanded the airplane to provide maximum lift/minimum sink while the engines spooled up. As far as we can tell, the flight control system responded properly, providing max lift without stalling. It is not the job of the flight control system to map trees, but the trees in the flight path interrupted the plan... I am quite certain that the A-320's certification included slow flight and approaches to stalls, and that its flight control system is well able to handle them. Then you have departed from reality. I see... Now you imply that either the A-320 certification did NOT include slow flight and approaches to stalls, or that it was certified despite its failure to demonstrate the required controllability in those regimes. Anyone have the coordinates of reality? I need to punch them into the FMS-CDU tomorrow... |

In what wy do you believe that stalling the wing is within the flight envelope? |
