Greg. Now Greg. Good job Greg.
No go-go juice? Get Greg.
Must be the greatest name of a jet fighter Every!
4:30 F-111 also had a capsule.
The B-58 and F-111 also had escape capsules.
Very good.
I would compare the ejection '"shoe" (It does look like a sneaker, doesn't it?) more with the B-58 and XB-70 as it just encapsulated the pilot rather than ejecting a section of the airframe like the B-1A or F-111. The missiles were more akin to the system on the F-89H where they popped out of individual wells, three in the forward part of each tip tank (and an F-89H with all six Falcons popped out of the tip tanks looked awesome) as opposed to one big bay opening and all the missiles extending like on the 102 or 106. The 103 had six bays for the GAR-1 or GAR-2 Falcon missiles and the two drawers of 2.75" FFARs. (Also, I've seen drawings with two further bays behind the upper pair of Falcons for a pair of GAR-3 nuclear rockets but I have also seen drawings where this space was reserved for fuel.) I immediately thought of the 103 when watching Maverick as they had the ramjet on the Darkstar working just as the 103 system would have! I am a fan of Republic's aircraft! Would love to see some version of F-84 flying in the future.
Another great show...hat ..drink... strange word..
Thanks....
Another aircraft with a pod ejection system was the XB-70! It was also part of the high altitude high speed family!
Damnit lol, I was going to type the same thing but scrolled down and saw you beat me to it!
Love the XB-70. What a machine! I went to see the one at Wright Patt Air Force Museum in Dayton OH. Was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. It's tough to appreciate the enormity of that plane unless you're standing right next to it.
Russian aviation fanatics love this plane
The plane was American.
@@zetoboogaloo8802 Alexander Kartveli was a Georgian 🍻
@@tbilisicentralv2 that dose not change the fact that the plane was designed for America.
Sversky became Republic.
The thud was a bit of a letdown in Vietnam shame because guys died
One of my favorite American… cancelled for a reason planes.
Canceled within a few years of the CF105. Must have been American meddling here too!
Oh, wait, it’s an American plane.
Mixed power British idea get out of Here Greg who or whatever you are Mate you sound like Trump ! OMG
There was a French aircraft that used a similar ramjet/turbojet setup by Leduc (up to 0.22, which didn’t fly).
