In February this year, the MoD issued a Request for Information (RfI) to industry to assess the state of electromagnetic launch and arrestor technology available for fitting to the aircraft carriers. The requirement is for a system capable of launching an aircraft with all-up weight up to 55,000lbs (24,949Kg). This would be inadequate for launching...
In 2016 the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) began Project MOSQUITO, to develop a flyable technology UAV demonstrator that could provide ‘additive capability’ for the crewed Typhoon, F-35 and Tempest jets. The project aims to produce air vehicles costing approximately £10M (or about 10% of the cost of F35) and the project optimistic...
Where the Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) to fit to the carriers may come from is unclear. Although China, Russia, France and India all have an interest or have nascent development programmes for electromagnetic aircraft launch systems for their carriers, only the US Navy has a system at sea right now. The General Atomics EMALS and Ad...
Assuming appropriate ALRE technology is available, then the next hurdle to overcome is how to reconfigure the flight deck to allow CATOBAR operations in a way that does not hamper F-35B VSTOL or rotary-wing flying and minimises the work required on the ships. Although there is a gallery deck below the flight deck with space available to accept cata...
The intention to have operational FWUAS flying in support of the F-35B by 2030 is undoubtedly the right direction of travel and the project appears to have a refreshing level of urgency. However, there would be some very large technical and funding challenges both for the aircraft and the ship to overcome first. These include: 1. Design and build a...

In the filter interview it talks about airpower. Can anyone elaborate on what you need to know? Does this relate to how the RAF maintain airpower such as air to air refuelling or what airpower is more generally such as height, reach, speed?
Jun 5, 2023 · JACKAL is a small, lightweight, modular vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drone that is expected to fill a crucial position in the future unmanned air force concept for advanced combat operations.
Apr 1, 2018 · Allied might ground down German air power, giving the RAF and US Army Air Corps ‘control of the air’ over Germany. Dozens of smashed cities and hundreds of thousands of dead civilians bore testimony to what bombing from aircraft could do.
