I dunno. I really like all the things that currently come on aircraft like wings, engines, tails, wheels, flaps, hydraulics. Don't see the need to experiment. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tra...sing-crash-land.html ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | ||

The USAF, and I assume virtually every other organization that flies aircraft, routinely practices engine out and no-flap landings. During my time I had 18 engine failures. 17 in a C-130 and one when I was a T-38 IP. I had dual runaway trim in a T-1. Never had to land gear up. Was hit by lightning twice and once had a three-engine power loss. | |||

Always thought the T-38 was a beautiful ship. Having both engines generating trust is certainly better than one. But sure beats a flamout in a F-16. Shame the F-20 didn't take off for Northrop especially for international markets, but the powers to be tossed all their nuts into the F-16. ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

The F-20 would have been the ultimate low cost high performance fighter. | |||

And a much smaller target for AA gunners. If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame. *We Band of 45-70er's* 35 year Life Member of the NRA NRA Life Member since 1984 | |||

I always like the sound of engines when I' m flying. I'd miss them.
