    Production Line Problems: Grumman A-6

    I remember hearing that Grumman had serious problems with the A-6 on the production lines due to it's highly advanced electronics and it having both air-to-air and air-to-ground radars. Assuming it is not classified, does anyone have any specifics on the problems or how serious it was? KJ Lesnick

    Russian and Soviet Aircraft Carriers

    The Soviets had a number of stilborn aircraft carrier projects from the 1930's all the way through to the 1990's. One of the most studied was Project-72 dating back to WW-II (1943) I think.
