"Kirk Stant" wrote in message Nice HUD, though. Too bad HUDs are obsolete (see F-35). Not yet. The Typhoon is in service (just). The F-22 is not yet in service but it also has a HUD. Eventually HMD's may be good enough to do everything you need a HUD for, but not yet. The JSF program has had to take some gutsy risks with technology to keep the aircraft affordable. We'll see whether this one pays off. Why is a HMD better than a HUD? Would love to see a real, unbiased (fat chance) comparison of the two I have. The Typhoon scored much higher. Is this the DERA study? Not that that will win any fights...except at airshows, maybe. To some extent it depends who it's (I suppose you still mean the Typhoon?) fighting. It's brand-new, late and still has a lot of capability to be cleared, but fundamentally it's better than the in-service competition. Let's talk again when (if?) the F-22 gets into service. So, if the Typhoon is used in combat, what's the most likely adversary? -- Phil "If only sarcasm could overturn bureaucracies" -- NTK, commenting on www.cabalamat.org/weblog/art_29.html |
