The US required that Canada buy the F-35 to be able to fit the communications equipment needed for NORAD. I think the Eurofighter would have been a better fit for Canada. It is already built on multiple production lines, no problem adding a

The UK had longer wavelength radar on aircraft before the US entered the war, the biplane attack planes flying off carriers looked old-fashioned but they could find their targets at night and land safely again. To circle back to the subject

I don't think the UK side of making radar into products is very well documented either, there is some on the research done by TRE [1] but less on what was done in industry. My grandfather designed and was in charge of production of the

As a developer of STEP, I wish BIM was used less.

I would use the STEP I/O library from Open Cascade (or BRL-CAD), they are closer to how we expect someone to read and write STEP models, neither are really tied to the parent CAD system. The one in BRL-CAD does have problems compiling
