BEST FIGHTER FOR CANADA

With word of a hypersonic successor to the SR-71 on the way, combined with sixth-generation fighters for the USAF and USN , now would be a good time to look at the technologies and engineering that will debut in these new platforms. Propulsion: While everyone is familiar with the workings of current turbojets, turbofans, ramjets, scramjets, and jamjets.   For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a aeronautical turbine that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turboencabulator. Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance. The original machine had a base plate o...

In a recent report, it was revealed that the Canadian military's plans for a covert snowmobile are already in dire jeopardy due to design flaws and blown budgets. Originally allotted $620,000 to study the concept of a hybrid snowmobile, a source inside the Department of National Defence (DND) has revealed that the Dual Action Tactical Arctic Stealth Snowmobile prototype is grossly overweight.  In order for it to meet requirements, heavier steel components will be resigned with costly composite materials, and the hybrid engine will increase in size, requiring a much larger battery (thus resulting in further weight gains). This major redesign has set the project roughly 28 months behind schedule.  It will also require an addition $1,041,500 worth of funding. The Department of National Defence has stated that it is fully committed to the Dual Action Tactical Arctic Stealth Snowmobile (DATASS). While not everybody approves of DATASS, we certainly do.  It really i...

Like a phoenix from the ashes... In a surprise move, the RCAF has released a statement describing a plan to reinvigorate their aging fleet of CF-18 Hornets.  With no funding available to purchase new fighters, or anything else for that matter , top generals at the RCAF have decided to refurbish several retired  CF-101 Voodoo interceptors . The choice to refurbish the Voodoo was a natural one.  There are currently 30 examples being used as gate guardians, museum exhibits, and the like.  Heck, some CF-101 proprietors are literally giving them away. The RCAF's man in charge of the CF-101 Voodoo refurbishment, Lt. Colonel Gilbert "Gull" Able, had this to say about the project: "It makes a lot of sense, when you think of it.  We got all these Voodoos laying around, doing nothing.  Most of them have less wear and tear than some of our CF-18s!" Indeed, the Voodoo only flew for 26 years in Canada.  The CF-18 has been in service for over 30, and will...
