This is looking very serious - A Tundra Bus for when armour protection is really needed 

... and I agree about the ladders and railings.

Maybe semi-retractable ladders ... with mechanisms just complicated enough to befuddle a hungry polar bear

Now that combination reminds me of the big plasma bugs in the live-action film "Starship Troopers."

Stories / Re: Sabre Dingo

« Last post by elmayerle on Yesterday at 12:16:33 PM »

Went back and did further digging on the Avon-Sabre Firestreak testbed and a Firestreak-carrying Sabre dingo doesn't look that promising as the support equipment for the Firestreak eats up a lot of volume (that's why the testbed had the flight test instrumentation in a bulged fairing under the aircraft).  Now I wonder if a radar swap out to allow the Sabre Dingo to carry one AIM-9B and one AIM-9C would work and would be worth it?

For your cruise missile, consider the engine in the JSSAM-ER, which I am given to uderstand is the same as was fitted to the AGM-137A/BGM-137B.  That should give you a suitable and proven engine.
