Flying cars is not practical. Those that have been built tend to fall into both poor cars and poor aircraft.
There have been programs that have tried and tried but it’s just not practical. Best solution I ever saw was to have the two platforms dock so you built an autonomous Cargo carrier that docks a Vehicle or cargo container then fly that. Once at LZ you land undock and drive off with the UAV flying back to base.

"Roger Ramjet!", Wilbur doesn't know his arse, from a hole in the ground! you can quote me on that, we better get back to designing a 5 Gen + aircraft, or even redesigning the F-22 or YF-23... the J-20 is an outstanding aircraft, it would be even more effective if built in real world numbers as the F-22 was designed to be, it should be countered decisively, unapologetically, and immediately!

The real problem when you stray from a real aircraft is that you end up with a whole bunch of nebulous nothings, while I realize we need a much greater electronic capability with this new aircraft than we currently have access to??? To neglect hardware, and the technology to design, build, and fly this new hardware.

A redesigned F-22 or YF-23 could be flown for about 1/2 to 3/4's of the price of the current aircraft if we upped production and committed to build it in meaningful numbers... in fact, I would suggest that at some point, we replace the F-35 with this new aircraft, and operate them concurrently well into the future...

One only has to look at the B-52, C-130, F-15, or even the F-22 to see that a well thought, well built, successful and thoughtfully operated aircraft will last well into the future, particularly if designed to be upgraded/updated regularly.

Ironic. I'm pretty sure "gloating" is not Biblically approved lolz.

you're quite right, nor does his application of Scripture follow a Biblical Worldview?? as well, Satan is referred to as the "accuser of the brethren". God have Mercy on us all, and I pray that the Men of SDF will stay healthy, and that they, and their loved ones might be strengthened in these difficult days.

No doubt we should all plead for Grace and Mercy, as well as offer it to all our fellow travelers in this grand journey of life! May you each find peace and strength to lead your families and extend mercy to all those around you, no matter your color or theirs??

Raytheon has won the LRSO design competition, but it remains uncertain whether it will nab the prime contract to actually build the next-generation cruise missile or be forced to share that with Lockheed Martin.

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) Configuration Steering Board (CSB) has approved an accelerated timeline to integrate a Joint Stand-Off Weapon (JSOW) C-1 full Network-Enabled Weapons (NEW) capability on the F-35 Lightning II platform.

Sanctioned in February, the CSB decision accelerates by approximately two years the JSOW C-1 NEW capability on the F-35, with funding already programmed to support the C-1 integration effort. NEW effectively enables a Moving Maritime Target (MMT) capability for the C-1.

A joint US Navy (USN)-led USN/US Air Force (USAF) programme, the Raytheon Missiles & Defence (RMD) AGM-154 JSOW is comprised of a family of 1,000 Ib-class, advanced glide munitions. The AGM-154C-1, along with the AGM-154C (JSOW Block IIIC), are the latest design JSOW production variants.

The AGM-154C incorporates the UK-developed BROACH (Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented Charge) multi-stage warhead – consisting of a 100 kg (220 lb) penetrating shaped-charge in front of a 145 kg (320 lb) conventional follow-through warhead, an uncooled, long-wave imaging infrared (IIR) seeker with autonomous target acquisition algorithms for precision Stationary Land Target (SLT) engagements.

The AGM-154C-1 NEW variant adds a Rockwell Collins TacNet 1.5 dual-waveform (UHF and Link 16) Strike Common Weapon Datalink (SCWDL), enabling the weapon – which can interface with the USN/USAF Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) – to be retargeted after launch, for Stationary Land Target (SLT)/Re-locatable Land Target (RLT) engagements. The JSOW C-1 weapon also incorporates a redesign of, and software modification to, the IIR seeker algorithm to support a network-enabled MMT engagement capability. The JSOW C Block III and C-1 variants have a stated range of 130 km (80.0 miles/70.0 n miles) at high altitude (40,000 ft), and 22 km (13.7 miles/11.9 n miles) at low altitude.
