I once heard second hand (but never confirmed it) that the F-16s wing area is a bit smaller that originally intended because you couldn't have a cheap multirole fighter like the F-16 routinely beating the crap out of massively expensiv

Probably true. The f15 has shot down a satellite, landed without one of it's wings, and has never lost a fight. Not bad for something that first flew 43 years ago.

I think the consensus was that the Mig-15 had the slight edge on the F-86, but US pilots were better trained than North Korean pilots. As it turns out Soviet pilots occasionally flew in Korea and gave US pilots a run for their money. Mig-1

Until a technological leap as large as the move from piston engines to turbine engine occurs and flight crews are replaced by computers, airlines will scrape by on the narrowest margins of almost any industry. As much as it seems like the

Traditionally the cost per seat/mile is lowest on wide bodies and skyrockets as you get towards regional aircraft. The higher (per seat/mile) cost of operating smaller planes is offset by the near poverty wages payed to regional
