Jet engine response time has sure come a long way since my carrier landing training days in the T-2C. Back then you had to move the throttle in response to where you want the power level to be in about 1 to 2 seconds in the future. That made it fun trying to stay on the targeted glide slop to hit the designated wire.

@noobstertontropolisburgpoi8096 5 месяцев назад

Man, your videos have such practical quality! I think it'd be a blast to work for Pratt & Whitney. Did you happen to ask them why they don't just incorporate a retractable FOD screen on their engines? That would make a lot of places accessible for our aircrafts in terms of take off and landing. You should do GE next and get a look-see at their adaptive cycle engine.

@superskullmaster 5 месяцев назад

I can answer this. As far as turbofan/turbojet engines in general, adding a mesh in the inlet severely reduces performance. This is not as big of an issue on helicopters where ram recovery is not even a consideration. Speaking of stealth, anything in the inlet is a radar cross section that you don’t want and any unnecessary moving parts is weight you can’t get rid of which decreases payload.

@264aub 5 месяцев назад

as someone who is an engineer at pratt and whitney, i can attest to say that it is fun!

Caleb’s Aviation 😊

@LRRPFco52 5 месяцев назад

There isn't any technology on F-15EX newer than F-35. Engines, Radar, cockpits, airframe, flight control system, and subsystems are generations behind. This F135 motor is decades more advanced than F110s. F-35's APG-81 is fused with an RF antennae suite distributed all over the airframe like a spy plane, as well as 7 different IR sensors. F-35 flight control system is fiber-optic with self-contained electrohydrostatic actuators. F-15EX still has hydraulic lines and actuators, though it does have a modernized DFLCS with excellent control logic. Man Machine Interface is superior in the F-35 due to minimal switches and buttons, with the HMDS and PCD.
