It actually a technology demonstrator aircraft that is due to fly in 2027. Its not a GCAP prototype as such.

I believe FCAS has a requirement to be carrier capale (for French Navy) which constrains its size and weight. GCAP does not and its greater range and payload requirements need a larger airframe.

Did you get the chance to fly on one Kendall? I visited our Britsh Airways ones 5 years ago when they were retired to a local airfield for scrapping ☹️

I was equally excited to see a passenger 747 at major Intl airport a few weeks back. It struck me that it had been years since I'd seen one and how common they were in the past.

The monorail even has a dedicated 'photography spot' for trainspotters 😁

I had to treat myself to a model of this train complete with lights, jingles and opening doors 😆

Forget F-35s. Canada should go for Grippen as the main fighter. Then in a few years supplement and network to GCAP for long range 6th gen capability without US control. 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇮🇹🇯🇵

I only recognise it from playing MS Flight simulator in like 1987 😄

I call it mascarra 😂

Oh yeah those A350s do look pretty good. Here's one in Tokyo this week.

That was an enjoyable read 😆. Well said AENA

There is one in the US at the Grissom Air Museum. www.grissomairmuseum.com/exhibits/gal...
