Yeah, it looks like it.
happy to walk around, tell you all about it, but.
Let's do it.
All right.
Let's do it.
So one of the cool things, we're actually using the F-100 engine is the engine that is used in F-15s, F-16s.
One of the really cool aspects about it is it's a multi-plane thrust vectoring engine, which is also the only U.S.
airplane u.s jet in existence that has multi-plane thrust vectoring so the f-22 uses 2d plane thrust vectoring i want to say it's the russians have this russians or chinese have an aircraft that has multi-plane thrust vectoring but basically what that enables is increased maneuverability some low speed maneuvers i was looking it up the other day it enables something like a
I want to call it like the Pugachev Cobra maneuver is something they may have shown in like Top Gun 2 when, you know, they're like, holy crap, what the hell is that?
That type of stuff.
So I know someone's got to check me and it's going to be some other maneuver, but like, you know.
Yeah, the internet will sort it out.
Yeah.
So it launches from this position and it also recovers from this position.
One of the things we had... So the LRV is also really cool.
It's got this called a blast shield.
But one of the things that they were discovering with F-35 when it was taking off from aircraft carriers, because they have a...
a vertical takeoff or short takeoff launch and land, but the engine was burning holes into the flight deck.
And so that was just like a massive problem with the aircraft.
This meant to deflect when we go afterburner on it and just the heat that's being generated from the engine when we're taking off and when we're landing.
