I'm not suggesting building an aircraft that will meet air 7-3, We have designed turbo prop aircraft in Canada as well as DC-9/MD-80 size 'C' series jet aircraft. Why not build our own transport while we have the time to do it right. A transport aircraft will have more sales potential abroad...

May be we have an opportunity here to design and build our own C130J replacement. We just have to keep it on cost and make sure that we should be selling it abroad.  If the A-400M becomes too expensive and the C-130K goes the same route which is likely we may have excellent sales potential to...

I agree lets get the plane the airforce wants and needs.  Here is an Idea to save money "if it would" on a per airframe purchase, buy enough to be used by the Canadian Coast Guard for things like fisheries and pollution patrols. I don't know how many airframes we would need for this but it would...

So lets take this like this, The new MPA,CC-150,KC-130H will be replaced with a common airframe based on the 'C' series jet.  The FWSAR will be a 'Q-200' based aircraft with some new build Twin Otters. Build more Griffon's but with an Armed Enforcement package "Gunship version". Dust off the...

It's just an idea that got tossed out during a family conversation but why not use the new 'C' series being built by Bombardier.  I believe it comes in a 220 pax configuration.  It was also suggested that it be used as a tanker aircraft but I don't think it would be able to carry the equipment...

Thanks SteveB, I hadn't taken air density into account. 

I mis stated the point that I wanted to make so I'll try again,  although the 3 opposition parties do combined have the ability to vote down the government, none can do it on their own. That part is easy the problem is in the following, 1.The leader of the liberals was selected not elected by...

Oops... glad you had a laugh.  IF you remember your history Hitler did the same thing didn't he and he did it all by the book and killed how many millions?.  I know I'm going to extrems but history backs up my statement time and time again.  If the budget is voted down, that is a vote of...

This coalation will force upon Canadians a government they did not vote for...according to my dictonary that is called a coup.  I will not stand for that.  If the oppisition wants to defeat the government on the budget then so be it.  We will go back to the polls but don't take away my right to...

I'd buy enough to re equip the snow birds if the condition of the aircraft and price was right.

My mistake, I understood that most ASW was between 1000-2000 feet.  Thanks.

I have 2 questions regarding high bypass turbofans at low altitude if anybody could help me out I'd appreciate it, 1. My understanding is that jet engines are more efficient at altitude due to the out side air being colder than it may be at sea level. If this is correct then would the cold air...

The 787 is a great  aircraft but I haven't seen anything on the Boeing web site about a freighter conversion.  I'd say that we replace the 3 CC-150's with 787-9 aircraft. The remaining 3 CC-150's I'd convert to a tanker configuration.  IF required I'd buy 2 777F freighters. While I have the...

Here is a thought ....lets take a camera to Vimy Ridge after the germans got their buts kicked off and take a picture of the Canadian cemetery from the battle how much support would there have been back home if the battle played out in real time on TV?  Not much I would think even though we were...

I know there is much more to what you do, and any replacement is going to be expensive.  I used the P-8 for the following reasons 1. support would be easier as the aircraft is a 737-800 so the cost and availability of spares would be easier on the budget. 2. The aircraft will be operated buy the...

I'm not very political and it's been a long while since I was in uniform but here is my thoughts,  I'm proud of what our solders have done and are doing,  my son saw 911 happen he was young and home after getting his toncils out.  we let him watch T.V. in his room as a treat, as we had only 1...

to replace the CP-140 we are most likely to buy the U.S. P-8. (I'm assuming the nimrod upgrade will not be available due to the technical problems and added cost over runs the RAF is having.) Given the projected capabilities of the aircraft how many will we need to patrol all 3 coasts with...

I was an officer cadet until I was released due to a car accident.  I am not throwing in the towel but I am concerned that as usual too much is being asked but the government is not doing it's bit and leaving the military to clean up the mess.  After all this is our territory and it is going to...

OK I understand that anything we do in the Arctic is expensive so somebody give me an  Idea that will work, is inexpensive and practical. According to the posts that I have been reading this is what I have got 1-satellites no too expensive and the orbital mechanics don't work out 2- ground...

VLF (Very Low Frequency)is needed to communicate with submerged submarines very bulky equipment and one very long antenna. The reason that I have said that 10 aircraft is not enough is due to the increased shipping activity requiring more surveillance that would occur in the arctic should it...
