AFA 08: Streaming ADVENT/HEETE video at AFRL booth

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0) |
I almost hesitate to post these videos. The quality is obviously not spectacular, and unfortunately the audio did not make it through YouTube's processing system.

But if you're interested on next-generation technology military engines, this data presented in this series of videos I shot at AFA yesterday could be interesting today.

The video playing on a loop at the AFRL booth was not available, so I just taped it on my cell phone. It's presented here in four parts because my phone has a two-minute limit on streaming video files.

Again, apologies for the poor quality!

thanks for the videos! I was just discussing this topic this week with someone at work. We agreed that what most people who look at this technology miss (and most people who view the videos will miss as well) is that while this really improves supersonic system performance, a lot (if not most) of the improvement comes into play in the subsonic region, If your readers observe the forecast improvements for each type of system and factor in the current relative performances, they will see that while this bodes well for supersonic applications, it REALLY ensures a subsonic platform will continue to be advantageous for most applications just on range, endurance, and payload alone.
thanks again!
