Fun fact: when a plane is assigned to a carrier, once it lands for the first time, the air chief goes down to the plane and signs his or her name somewhere on the fuselage together with the registration number of the carrier. Each time a plane is reassigned to a new carrier, the new air chief does the same. So some planes have three, four or more signatures and ship numbers written on them.

Such an impressive near mishap. The cool thing with props is that the spooling time (time it takes for the engine to reach full power) can be close to inexistant, pilots can change the angle of the propeller's blades to decrease thrust while having full power. So in case of emergency, switching the angle of the blades can provide immediate increase of thrust. Add to that the fact that unlike jets, the props are blowing air right onto the wing, helping generate immediate lift. That's why they don't have to land with full power as opposed to jets, they have a little bit more room for error.

Not exactly a super exciting fact but the radar the video shows when he mentions the AN/SPY-1 at 1:40 is the AN/SPS-48 which is a much older (but repeatedly upgraded) E/F Band 3D air search radar. If you jump a second back to 1:39 the parabolic radar dish on the secondary (aft) tower is the AN/SPS-49 which is an L band 2D air search radar. Those two radars work together to provide area air surveillance to the carrier. The Radar at the top of the main mast (though not the very small one at the very very top) is the AN/SPQ-9B which is the guidance radar for the carrier's onboard RIM-162 surface to air missiles.

I think the Osprey has a slightly longer range than the Grayhound. Since range is usually calculated with minimal load, and the C2 payload can be heavier, the C2 is probably shorter ranged with a full payload. I'm not sure if it is significanly more than average failures, but Osprey does have an early record of failures, and without the ability to effectively glide or autorotate, they tend to be catastophic. On the other hand, the Osprey can carry the F-35s engine while the Grayhound cannot.

The Osprey is a deathtrap. Still in development after years of operational deployment. The OMB says that the Osprey is the most expensive plane to operate in the entire inventory and there are many solutions that are cheaper. With the advent of cheap airborne LIDARs, the entire stealth system has become obsolete. With the Chinese supplying LIDARs to third world countries, operations even against them have become much more difficult. The U.S. banned the development of LIDARs in hopes of containing the technology, what they did instead was bankrupt a bunch of companies which the Chinese bought and obtained the technology much sooner than they would have otherwise.

Satellites move at extreme speed an on fixed, predictable tracks. They can't 'hover' over a fleet. An airborne surveillance RADAR provides instant, flexible coverage of an area of interest. If a carrier group is targeted with a barrage of anti-ship missiles, it needs to know about them seconds after launch, and the best a satellite could do could be several hours. That's not to say that a carrier group doesn't use information from satellites. An E-2 can surveil a large area in a few areas, but it's nothing compared to what a satellite will sweep in the same time. A satellite can't maintain continuous coverage of an enemy fleet, but it can tell you where they were, and that's enough to tell an E-2 where to search. Modern information gathering is layered, with assets that can sweep huge areas but provide limited detail are used to direct assets with limited scope but provide great detail.
@ParoXyzmm3 ай бұрын
I don't quite think you realise the gap between satellites and AWACS. Satellites will net you a good idea of any large surface contacts over a whole ocean (I.e. ships), sure. But good luck trying to get a satellite to optically track a jet or missile, let alone somehow get a centimeter accuracy track on such an object. This is also assuming you have a satellite above literally every point on the planet, meaning you would need hundreds to thousands of them.
