For cryin out loud!
Did everyone read the last 15 posts by Tarver, Chad and R. David about software and programming? LOL, I'm sure it means a lot to them but it gives perfect credence to my philosophy that all engineers should be locked up in a rubber room at night! Too Funny!! Hey guys! When you get that software and programming crap worked out,,, let me know so I can go fly the jet ok??? Holy cow!

Was to be, but tabbing to the F-22 would be foolish now. |

In article , "Tarver Engineering" wrote: The Ada-95 release does not cause older software to be made good. But the newer compilers and other software tools they've developed *can*. Perhaps, but i have yet to see a compiler upgrade work without altering the sofware. That's true, but the folks who have been working with the Ada-95 tools noticed that it's easier to alter the software to run under Ada-95 than it is to keep using the older Ada. Cheaper to maintain, faster to develop. As in the old software doesn't work. No, as in "the old software worked, but they improved it and brought it up to Ada-95 to make it easier to work with." The low competence of Lockmart's avionics group is why they sold it to BAE Systems. Nope. Let me clue you, the F-35 is tabbed to the Eurofighter. That's an odd statement. "Tabbed to?" In common usage, that means they're connected directly, but sine they aren't you must mean something else. Think real hard. I think you wrote something deliberately vague, so you could pretend it was profound. You failed. Are you aware of BAE Systems? Yes, they're making a lot of the ECM and other systems *hardware* for the F-35. To be controlled by the software that LockMart is developing for controlling the whole plane. Bull****. Not actually a refutation, there... -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |

Well, according to Tarver, the F-22 will never fly because the tail will fall off or something, has big old strakes attached to it, ruining the stealth, and is running unmodified 20 year old software. So you can't fly it... ever. At least according to old Splapsy. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |

"Pete" wrote in message ... "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... "R. David Steele" wrote in message ... The FB-22 would replace the Air Force's F-15E and take over some missions for long-range bombers such as the B-2 and B-1. The initial design envisioned a plane that could carry 24 Small Diameter Bombs, which weigh only 250 pounds. Using Global Positioning System guidance, the small bomb would be as lethal as a 2,000-pound bomb. No sir , GPS guidance systems are already available for 2000lb bombs Depends on what that SDB is aimed at. A 250lb rock is just as lethal for a tank as a 2000lb bomb would be. Just so but ISTR GPS guidance isnt optimum for a mobile target 8 x 250lb bombs would be (assuming they all hit their targets) more lethal for an enemy tank company than one 2000lb bomb. None of which makes a 250lb more accurated than its 2000 lb brother which was the claim to which I responded.

"Boomer" wrote in message ... The SDB will have an autopilot which will allow it to reach the target with more kinetic energy than a standard JDAM flight profile. Combine that with a new explosive package and they SAY it will have the same effectiveness as a 2000lb bomb. The ER (or is it EX) version will have a potential range of 60 miles. I rather doubt that the KE fraction will be high enough to offset more than 1000lbs of HE Keith ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

"R. David Steele" wrote in message ... And they define that "territory" as everything from India to Australia to Siberia and Japan. The whole of the far East. This has been China's "domain" for thousands of years. The question is do you want to be shut out of that area? Siberia has never been part of China's domain and the only attempted invasion of Japan happened when China itself was occupied by the Mongols. The large Russian nuclear arsenal is apt to make the Chinese think twice before any incursion as would the diffciulties of maintaining a large army. They simply couldnt bring large enough numbers to bear to outweight their technological inferiority, the logistical support just isnt there Border clashes with India are scarcely likely to lead to major territorial claims, India has a large population and nuclear weapons as well as lacking anything that would make it worth the trouble As fro Australasia the Chinese cant even muster enough naval power to take Taiwan let alone cross those distances. Japan has historically been far more expansionist than China It invaded parts of Manchuria, Mongolia, China and most other far eastern nations withing living memory but note that Korea and Taiwan were part of the Japanese Empire before WW2 As I recall the only major territorial claims China has at present are to Taiwan and the Spratly Islands Keith |

Good lord, ADA is like PL1. | |The Ada-95 release does not cause older software to be made good. I am not even aware of an university that teaches ADA. ADA is certainly taught at a number of universities and is widely used for real time programming not just by the military. I remember when ADA was first talked about. It was joked about as the new and improved PL1. Can't C++ do as well? For secure real time systems no. The strength of ADA is implementing error detection at an early stage,. The compiler keeps track of the relationships between every associated entity in the product right down to the real-time and concurrent facets of the software design since tasking is built-in to the language. Real time systems have to use modules with known, bounded execution times and a scheduler that can restrict dynamic process creations to guarantee performance and dymnamic structures such as pointers and arbitrarily long strings need to be rigidly controlled.

Now if you want to argue that the F-35B is an aircraft designed as a
Carrier Aircraft, I know some Marines that would like to chat with you. The B will be replacing AV-8B's and land based F-18's. Sure, it can land on a carrier but it is not being built to trap aboard CV/N's using arresting gear or Cat launches. True in a sense, but as a VSTOL and STOVL design, it's fully carrier suitable w/o the need for catapult gear (I suspect it does have a tailhook). I'd also be much surprised if its CNI suite didn't include ACLS and SPN-41 in their latest incarnations. R / John |

I am not a fan of idea of taking an airliner design and making it a cargo plane. The 747 had its cockpit placed above the main cabin so they could open the nose for loading in the cargo variant, i.e., it was designed from the beginning to carry cargo. |
