y a des tests en cours en lybie sur les prok, ca va etre porte sur le raffy ? http://lemamouth.blogspot.com/2011/04/la-bombe-beton-utilisee-mardi-contre-un.html

Tout n'est pas perdu pour les anglo/saxon, il reste le tyffie en course. on sait tous que ce n'est pas la qualité qui est le probleme, mais le volet politique. http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/20110428trib000618283/le-rafale-et-l-eurofighter-preselectionnes-en-inde.html :'(

Tchuutttt, :O on ne reveille pas le bavard, il va crier victoire et danser la polka avant de passer la ligne, et il va nous faire cramer. :lol:

http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2011/04/poll-make-your-shortlist-for-i.html#comments Trimble reprend l'info

C'est vrai, le tyffie n'a pas d'aesa, il est pas très bon en air sol, il est pas encore multirole, avec toutes les modifs, le prix unitaire va fortement augmenter, mais comment il fait pour passer :lol:

C'est pas possible, les memoires ne sont plus dans la boite ! :O http://www.lepoint.fr/monde/rio-paris-le-chassis-d-une-des-boites-noires-retrouve-27-04-2011-1323917_24.php http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/04/27/356052/picture-af447-flight-data-recorder-found-but-memory-unit-missing.html http://www.flightglobal.com/assets/getAsset.aspx?ItemID=39406

On connaitra le vainqueur avant Mars 2012. Maintenant, il faut attendre les hurlements des autres concurrents.

l'ideal et qu'ils achetent les deux.

Si je me rappelle le mig35 avait des problemes moteurs, les tests ont été particulierement anarchique avec le gripen puis repris avec le gripen NG, les indiens n'ont pas aimés. l'ef2000 n'integre pas la guerre electronique et la furtivité, la frappe nuke, c'est en faveur du raffy. un match entre les deux, ca fini mal pour le tyffie, compte tenu des confrontations antérieure.

Woui, je le refais, ;) ils ont ratés l'exam et ils sont bon pour redoubler mais ca confirme des rumeurs ancienne. je reprends le lien a Tmor http://www.stratpost.com/india-selects-ef-rafale-for-mmrca-shortlist Pour le multirole de l'eurofighter, c'est pour 2017, pour le sea eurofighter dans 10 ans. Pour le rafale, multirole y a tout, pret à l'emploi, il ne manque que le m88 9t. Affaire à suivre ^^

:'( :'( :'( :'( il faut bien un lievre, chaque fois que j'entend mmrca tyffie par ci, tyffie par la. Reste a savoir, quand est ce qu'on connaitra l'heureux elu, c'est la que j'aimerai bien entendre les essai avec un raffy equipé de 2xm88 9t

http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/20110427trib000618062/les-americains-n-ecouteront-plus-les-extraterrestres.html c'est dommage, si je ne crois pas aux OVNI qui foisonnent dans notre atmosphere, je crois plus à l'ecoute d'un signal ET possible. on ne balaye qu'une partie des frequences, c'est dommage qu'on a pas un centre comme ca en europe. Actuellement, "nous tentons d'obtenir des donations d'un montant de 5 millions de dollars pour couvrir la recherche "des mondes de Kepler" menée par Jill Tarter et son équipe. Si ces fonds peuvent être levés, "nous prévoyons de passer les deux prochaines années à écouter les 1.235 exoplanètes potentiellement habitables que la mission américaine Kepler a détectées et dévoilées en février", a indiqué le directeur du Seti. Une exoplanète est une planète orbitant autour d'une étoile autre que le soleil.

Excellent, reste plus qu'a en faire une traduction en anglais pour faire grincer quelques dents

Can The M-MRCA Be Completely Clean? No http://livefist.blogspot.com/2011/04/can-m-mrca-be-completely-clean-no.html BOEING DEFENSE: 1. The infamous Darleen Druyun episode, in which the Pentagon bureaucrat helped Boeing during tanker lease negotiations, while getting the company to pony up a post-retirement job opportunity for her and her family. Boeing made her a veep. Both she and Boeing's then CFO Mike Sears served time in prison. 2. In 2002, Boeing was accused of paying Choi Kyu-sun, a former aide to South Korea's President Kim $12-million to ensure that the country ordered F-15s, which Seoul ultimately did. DASSAULT AVIATION: In 2002, as part of the same deal mentioned above, Dassault stood accused of paying a South Korean air force colonel approximately $10,000 for information on the country's F-X fighter competition. The colonel was court martialled, and Dassault hightailed it from South Korea vowing never to do business with the country again. EUROFIGHTER: 1. Allegations of corruption in a deal with Austria. 2. Allegations of slush fund bribery against BAE Systems in the sale of Eurofighters to Saudi Arabia as part of the Al-Salam deal. Compounded by the fact that the UK Serious Frauds Office (SFO) decided to call off investigations in the "wider public interest", so the truth may never be known. LOCKHEED-MARTIN: 1. In 2009, Lockheed's India head reportedly bolted from the country after being found in possession of MMRCA documents that he shouldn't have had access to. Lockheed refuted all the allegations, though the issue wasn't followed up by the Indian MoD. There's a book (I''ve just ordered it) about Lockheed-Martin's practices. SAAB: Saab has faced bribery/corruption charges in connection with the sale of Gripen fighter jets to South Africa, Hungary (through BAE Systems) and Czech Republic. UAC / RAC-MiG: 1. Was embroiled in a bribery scandal in the supply of MiG-27 jets to the Sri Lankan Air Force in 2007. 2. Bribery scandal in the supply of eight MiG-29 jets to the Bangladesh Air Force in 1999. This list is only illustrative. Enough has happened in the M-MRCA competition so far to suggest that it hasn't been completely kosher.

http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories971.htm Will Russia’s MiG abandon the Indian race? Moscow. The Indian tender for 126 MMRCAs (medium multi-role combat aircraft) to replace its ageing MiGs was announced long ago, but only now is the real intrigue unfolding. Competition between two main rivals - the United States’ F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and Russia’s MiG-35 has been stiff. The intrigue heightened after Russia announced its MiG-35 would not be on display at an air show in Bangalore. Many experts took the absence of a “real live” MiG as a sign that Russia was pulling out of the race. Leading entries compared The Russian and U.S. fighters each have their own strengths. The Super Hornet’s design maturity is indeed impressive. It has been in serial production for over 10 years and carries an active phased-array radar (APAR), or what is generally known as the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) combat radar, which is also in serial production. The United States is also in a position to start manufacturing the aircraft for an Indian order at short notice. (Notably however, AESA is THE key requirement for the Indian tender. At present, this technology features only on three aircraft in the world, all of them US, Lockheed Martin’s F 22 Raptor and F 16 Block 60 with UAE, and Boeing’s F/A 18 E/F Super Hornet or its electronic warfare version EA 18G Growler). The MiG-35’s advantages include India’s experience of MiG-29s and the fact that maintenance infrastructure for them is in place across the country, as well as Russia’s readiness to share production technology with India. The MiG-35’s main shortcoming is its APAR: it is still in development and this is set to continue for a year or two. Also, despite its MiG-29 origins, the MiG-35 still needs refining before it can go into serial production. Fundamentally, the only thing the MiG-35 shares with the previous MiG-29 family is its appearance. Its equipment and facilities have undergone a radical overhaul. The aircraft is now capable of using the very latest air-to-surface munitions, making it a multi-role fighter, unlike the MiG-29, which is considered an air-supremacy fighter. The cockpit, in line with the current fashion, is equipped with multifunctional liquid-crystal display screens, while the HOTAS (hands on throttle-and-stick) system allows the pilot to manage all the weapons systems without taking their hands off the aircraft and engine controls. Vectored-thrust engines make the plane much more maneuverable, increasing its chances of winning in close combat and avoiding longrange missile fire. The fact that a two-seat version - the MiG-35D - is available, with the same kind of avionics as the singleseater, means that groups consisting of one- and two-seater aircraft can be formed, which are capable of carrying out highly complicated missions. In such formations the two-seaters become command planes, coordinating the moves of a flight or squadron. Boeing meanwhile ... Unlike Russia, which decided not to put its MiG-35 on display in Bangalore, the United States has stepped up its activity and unveiled the latest version of the F/A-18, or the Silent Hornet, upscaled with stealth technology. These warplanes are kitted out with conformal fuel tanks, enhanced performance engines, spherical missile laser warning (SM/LW), enclosed weapons pads and next generation cockpits complete with internal infrared search and tracking systems The aircraft on display at the show is the first to be developed as part of the International Super Hornet Roadmap program, which Boeing announced at the Farnborough air show last year. The fighter is being touted as a new generation in the Super Hornet family, which will feature improved combat survivability, situational awareness and performance for customers. Boeing’s vice president Vivek Lall said that if India signs a contract with Boeing under the MMRCA tender it will be able to obtain this technology. “We are creating a platform which will be combat worthy for the next 30 or 40 years,” he said. This announcement is unprecedented for an American company - until now only the United States’ closest allies have been granted full access to this kind of technology. All the others had to make do with what they were sold. Tender results are expected to be announced this summer. They are particularly important for the MiG: should the MiG-35 fail to get an export order, Sukhoi aircraft will be left in a position of unassailable dominance on Russia’s combat aviation market. Despite the unquestioned potential of Sukhoi platforms and their proven quality, such a monopoly is unlikely to be helpful.

Cet appel d'offre devient vraiment n'importe quoi. Ils ont passé en revu tous les zoziaux, et hop su35. http://info-aviation.com/?p=8984 C’est un coup de théâtre. « Le chasseur russe Su-35 sera réadmis à l’appel d’offres et il a toutes les chances de le remporter. Le commandement de l’Armée de l’air brésilienne l’apprécie beaucoup », a indiqué le responsable cité par l’agence de presse russe Ria Novosti.

Sans refaire complement un nouvel avion, adapter une remotorisation sur la base du C160, ca couterait bien moins cher et beaucoup moin de temps qu'un A200M en utilisant ce qu'on a sous la main et eviter 10-15 ans de developpement. un TP400 bride à 8000-9000 cv, ca devrait etre faisable et ca augmenterait la durée de vie du moteur. le cn est trop petit et le a400m trop gros et trop cher.

Bref, il faudrait un TP200 pour un nouveau c160 ou un moteur sur etagère. 11000 cv pour le TP400, 5665 cv pour le moteur Rolls Royce type 22 du C160.

Les ailes peuvent etre renforcées et le TP400 peut etre bridés, ca reste une question du fadec pour reguler la puissance ? ca sous entend un fadec adapter pour le C160

Il y a de l'idée, ca facilite les posé d'assault. :lol:
