Miren el Super Hornet que Boeing está ofertando para el MMRCA.
- Dos CFTs para un total de 3000 libras adicionales de combustible, a grosso modo equivalente a dos tanques subalares de 480 galones. Con los CFTs el radio de combate se extiende a los - cita textual - "high 700s". O sea rozando las 800 millas náuticas. Con los CFTs y el tanque ventral son 800+.
- Nótese el IRST interno montado en la pequeña canoa en el morro. La canoa aloja la óptica del IRST, la unidad de procesamiento va detrás en el morro.
- Motores F-414 EPE, 20% de empuje adicional por sobre el F-414-400 en los SH del Navy. La sección caliente del motor tiene vida de 6000 horas, que para los Indios va a ser una revelación acostumbrados como están a turbinas Rusas tan intensivas en mantenimiento.
- Nueva aviónica. El panel de instrumentos está dominado por una sola pantalla "touch screen" de 19 x 11 pulgadas que presenta datos e imágenes recogidas por los sensores a bordo y sensores remotos en red en 3D, algo que el departamento de mercadeo de Boeing llama "God's Eye View" (). No me pregunten cómo, no tengo NPI... lo que si van a tener que ser más específcos porque los Indios tienen como 2000 Dioses. La idea es que el piloto va acomodando con los dedos la información que le interesa en el momento, agrandado y achicando las ventanas de modo muy similar a como se hace en un iPhone.
- Nuevos sistemas de alerta con cobertura 360º, el equipo lo provee una compañía Israelí e incluye el sistema de apertura distribuída, RWR, alertador láser y alertador de aproximación de misiles.
- Finalmente ese pod grandote en la estación ventral. Aloja cuatro AMRAAMs o un loadout mixto para misiones de ataque. Configuraciones típicas serían:
a) Dos AMRAAMs y una bomba de 2000 libras
b) Dos AMRAAMs y una bomba de 1000 libras
c) Dos AMRAAMs y dos bombas de 500 libras
d) Dos AMRAAMs y cuatro SDBs
En general está der carajo como decimos en mi pueblo. Con razón el USN dice que puede esperar por el F-35C. Con alternativas así...

como Eurofighter y Sukhoi, se aproximan a la FAB
¿No imagino por donde compartirán secretos para fabricar submarinos nucleares, o trasladaran cadenas de producción completas, si lloran porque temen que los clientes les intervengan cada pinche BTR que venden, de la época de la inquisición? 
habiéndose tomado la decisión de que hacia 2020 la mitad de la flota aeronaval sea impulsada por alguna mezcla de biocombustible, se compartirían investigaciones ampliamente con Brasil.
...¿Que alucinógeno estará fumando el Sr. Secretario de la Marina norteamericano? ¿Desde cuando el alumno le enseña al maestro a producir biocombustibles? Acá quien no ha firmado el protocolo de Kyoto, y el que esta más atrasado que el resto, en biocombustibles y fuentes energéticas alternativas, es EE.UU. 
el caza de quinta generación SU-35
autoridades del consorcio Eurofighter habían puesto el Typhoon sobre el tapete, valorando las ventajes de este proyecto sobre los considerados.

US airforce successfully tests synthetic (bio)fuel in B52 aircraft
We have been tracking developments in aviation biofuels for quite a while (earlier post and references there). The creation of renewable fuels for large aircraft that fly at high altitudes is the last frontier, with many challenges remaining. But today, the US airforce announced that it has come a step closer to making renewable aviation fuels a reality: a B-52 Stratofortress took off on december the 15th on a flight-test mission using a blend of synthetic fuel and JP-8 (kerosene) in all eight turbine engines. This is the first time a B-52 has flown using a synfuel blend as the only fuel on board.
Further jet biofuel flights in an F-15, C-17 and F-22 are planned for later this year. The Air Force hopes to derive as much as half of its fuel requirements from alternative sources, such as camelina, by 2016—and certify all its aircraft to fly on such alternative fuels by 2012. "This sortie was pretty uneventful and predictable," said test pilot Maj. Chris Seager after the flight, according to an Air Force press release. Yet, it just might help the Air Force get a little greener.
Navy Tests Biofuel-Powered 'Green Hornet'
From Liz Wright, Navy Office of Information
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy celebrated Earth Day April 22 by showcasing a flight test of the "Green Hornet," an F/A-18 Super Hornet multirole fighter jet powered by a biofuel blend.
The test, conducted at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., drew hundreds of onlookers, including Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, who has made the exploration and adoption of alternative fuels a priority for the Navy and Marine Corps.
Mabus observed the flight and tracked its data from a Project Engineering Station at the air station's Atlantic Test Range. After the jet landed, he met the pilot, Lt. Cmdr. Tom Weaver, of Billerica, Mass.
"The alternative fuels test program is a significant milestone in the certification and ultimate operational use of biofuels by the Navy and Marine Corps," said Mabus. It's important to emphasize, especially on Earth Day, the Navy's commitment to reducing dependence on foreign oil as well as safeguarding our environment. Our Navy, alongside industry, the other services and federal agency partners, will continue to be an early adopter of alternative energy sources."
The Green Hornet runs on a 50/50 blend of conventional jet fuel and a biofuel that comes from camelina, a hardy U.S.-grown plant that can thrive even in difficult soil.
The Defense Energy Support Center, which oversees procurement of biofuel for the Navy, recently awarded a $2.7 million contract to Sustainable Oils of Seattle and Bozeman, Mont., for 40,000 gallons of camelina-based fuel. The Navy's ultimate goal is to develop protocols to certify alternative fuels for use in its aircraft and ships.
Navy Green: Military Investigates Biofuels to Power Its Ships and Planes
The U.S. Navy will begin testing biofuels from camelina and algae
Ships powered by algae and planes flying on weeds: that's part of the future the U.S. Navy hopes to bring to fruition. This week, the seagoing branch of the military purchased 40,000 gallons of jet fuel derived from camelina—a weedy relative of canola—and 20,055 gallons of algae-derived diesellike fuel for ships.
"The intent is for these fuels to be drop-in replacements," although initially they will be blended with their conventional counterparts, says Jeanne Binder, research and development program manager at the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), the U.S. Department of Defense's combat logistics support agency. "The test results will bear that out."
As the renewable fuels are delivered in increasing batches in coming months, the Navy will begin lab testing them. The Navy hopes to put the biofuels in active planes and ships in 2010 and 2011, respectively, according to Billy Ray Brown, spokesman for the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division. "The three goals are fuel security, something that is renewable, and that we can produce and provide for ourselves to reduce our reliance on foreign sources of oil. It [also] has to be cost-effective. Then, obviously, the environmental benefits that could potentially derive from that."
