No. It is not.

Please post the correct report cover or report link.

And please do this for your other two posts which display this report cover as a source. :mad:

Please could you be a little more pragmatic?
 
Quite possibly! :cool:

I'm admit that being sent to a report (the original link) called "Dynamic response of a Mach 2.5 axisymmetric inlet and turbojet engine with a poppet-value controlled inlet stability bypass system when subjected to internal and external airflow transients" for a HiMat photo was ... aggravating. Especially since this was the third post today where this source report was incorrectly cited. The poster usually does such an good job and I appreciate his hard work.

Pic from this post which also has a Sabrebat pic. From same shoot as first pic in this post it appears.
 
Having just skimmed through the thread, probably worth reminding people that AFTI wasn't solely aerodynamics and sensors. There was systems work going on as well, including some of the early GCAS work. I've got very vague memories that GEC Avionics did an AFTI/CAS specific OFP for the wide-angle HUD that was fitted to the F-16 AFTI/CAS, but I'd really only just joined the Airborne Displays Division at that point and wasn't being allowed to play with flight hardware yet. The new weapons delivery modes would almost certainly have required new symbology, as potentially would the GCAS work. I'm not sure if the EEGS*/Funnel Algorithm work being done in a locked room at the same time was also AFTI funded, but it would seem logical.

Nice! And remember, we were doing this stuff with 8 bit CPUs and 32K of RAM ;)

A couple more things from Republic, around this same year. I don't know if these relate to the FX. They did send my Dad to Germany to work with Fokker around this time as well.

Love that picture on the right. I've never seen the full picture before. Everything I've ever seen had it cropped so you only saw the main aircraft.

Edit: If you look closely, you can see on the far aircraft that there is a ventral rudder between the intakes. Knowing that, you can just see the aft, bottom corner of it on the larger aircraft.

I have a question why they didn't go for the F-15 because according to the source that F-15 and F-16 gonna test increased survival capabilities and firing of air to air and air to ground weapons
