How is that special? The military already has the F-22 which can supercruise just fine. Or the Eurofighter if your military isn’t the USAF. And also, fuel cost

How is that special? The military already has the F-22 which can supercruise just fine. Or the Eurofighter if your military isn’t the USAF.
And also, fuel cost is probably the last concern of an Air Force. Maybe logistics of supplying fuel in an actual war is important, but I think the money for buying the fuel itself is basically zero compared to maintenance and getting the plane in the first place.
- actionfromafar 2y agoF22 isn't produced and fuel is more about range than cost.
- dralley 2y agoThe point is they know how to do it and they have the designs. Supercruise is also more about the design of the whole system and not just the engines.
- two_handfuls 2y agoThank you, I did not know that.
