A parte grifada em vermelho diz tudo, a MB usa NAe CTOL, o Gripen nunca foi pensando para ser aeronave de NAe CTOL, com o uso de catapultas.Santiago escreveu:soultrain escreveu:O tempo dos Cowboys, ases do ar, Americanos e Russos já foi, pousar C-130 em PA simplesmente não é mais possível.
Basta olhar para os chineses e russos, eles bem tentaram copiar a navalização meia boca dos SU-27, mas apesar de todos os recursos ilimitados, a coisa não está a correr muito bem e é "só" copiar o que já foi feito.
Mas eu compreendo, eles são muuuiiito burros, nós ocidentais somos superiores.
Olha, se os Suecos achassem que os Brasileiros são sérios e iriam levar tudo até às ultimas consequências, eles nunca fariam uma proposta dessas.
[[]]'sGripen presents naval variant to navy

Gripen has made presentations of its Sea Gripen fighter aircraft to the Indian Navy last week.
Tony Ogilvy, Vice President, International Marketing for Gripen informed StratPost that his company had made presentations to the navy last week and said the response was ‘very good’.
Ogilvy, who is also a former Royal Navy Buccaneer and Sea Harrier pilot, said the ‘inherent design characteristics’ of the Gripen aircraft make it ‘very similar to a deck based aircraft’.
He said that in the two-hour presentation, which took place last Friday, Sea Gripen’s salt water protection characteristics and maritime operational engine and its ability to operate off both CATOBAR and STOBAR carriers were some of the features highlighted.
According to Ogilvy, the Sea Gripen is being especially pitched to nations which are looking for compact carriers and are not necessarily interested in global force projection capabilities. The aircraft is said to have a very small footprint and is very easy to operate off smaller carriers.
So would the Sea Gripen be good for the Indian 40,000 ton Vikrant class carrier under construction? “Perfect,” said Ogilvy.
Gripen is also being pitched to the Indian Air Force (IAF) for the 126 Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) tender. Edvard de la Motte, Director of Gripen’s India campaign told StratPost that the the third phase of trials of the aircraft are likely to begin in March, when the aircraft will be tested in Bangalore, Jaisalmer and Leh.
Porém, o problema do gancho de parada é um enorme problema, em qualquer tipo de NAe para o Gripen.
