Zitat:The goals were a $20 million acquisition cost and $3,000 per flight hour.
Zitat:“We talk to A-10 guys just back from their tours. Did they get shot at? No. Did they use weapons? 95% of the time, no,” Anderson says. “When you do that on an A-10 or an F-16, not only are you spending $18,000 an hour, but you’re chewing up lifetime on high-end assets.”
Zitat:The airframe, Tutt and Anderson explain, is designed around its 82 cu ft., cooled and power-supplied payload bay
Zitat:The bay is a key feature for the aircraft’s ISR-strike mission, and is there for large, specialized sensors such as foliage-penetration radars or wide-area surveillance systems. In the cockpit, Textron is getting ready to demonstrate Thales’ low-cost helmet-mounted display, also called Scorpion.
