Quite an increase in thrust for the beast. Look at those intakes, wow!

What is the advantage of having rectangular intakes? Any specific reason?

FWIW, this version will be able to accelerate while going straight up. Cool. Wonder what happens to top speed, and combat radius.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
