Our most advance drone right now would probably just be a modern civilian drone which still pretty good but.

Yea, hence i said we should start developing because otherwise our most advanced remains civilian.

@HeroCooky according to OTL the US should have flown the Nighthawk in '81 while the stealth bomber's intro was '83. Yet our prototype Anatta was apparently done by '78-'79 and one of our first uses was at least as early as '82 during our CyPac interventions.

Would I be correct in guessing that everyone and their mom's started a crash course on making their own stealth fighters?

I can't wait for the Block 2 Anattas.

Block 1 was only a little stealth. We just went for the low hanging fruit, so it's a really more of a case that it reduces the enemy's detection range a bit and makes the Anatta a bit harder to target.

Anatta Block 1.5s are gone be an intermediate step: AESA radar and horizontal stabilizers only (the V-tail we have now doesn't couple very well with the wing vortices). Call it a Get 4.75 fighter.

Block 2 will be our 5th gen project. Geometric stealth shaping, and a better engine (either just increasing engine temperatures via SBA or possibly switching to a SOFC-gas turbine combined cycle, depending on how well we can adapt the sub powerplant).
 
...yknow with the creation of the CyPact I can see the Qattara Depression project actually being fufilled...yknow just without the utilization of nukes. Actuallyy...looking at it there are a good deal of terraforming projects that could be done using Saharan depressions.
 
Sorry for taking so long y'all, just been super busy IRL.

Anyone wanna speculate about the least costly way to switch our gas and diesel production/imports to sulphur-less formulations?

Because SOFCs do not like sulphur.

Always up for projects that improve lives and grant bragging rights.

Don't know if algae biofuel farms are possible yet for our guys, since trying to do it with regular agriculture byproducts or the full vegetables/fruits is not the most efficient thing to say the least.
 
research into algae biofuel has been going on since the 40s...and Guangchou has been doing aquaculture and genetic engineering since I think the first five year plan.

You were selectively breeding land-based crops for some time, not genetically engineering them. You don't have the tech for that.

And your aquaculture is not "biofuel yields" capable right now, nor would you convert the food you need to feed your people into fuel when you have cheaper, more plentiful, proven, and accessible sources without several dozen people saying: "Hey, this isn't a good idea. Let's just use something that doesn't require another logistical tail to be built, okay?"

This, I think, is a case of "Perfect is the enemy of Good Enough."
 
I've seen what horrors you are trying to come up in STAB and I am very very scared.
What do you have against our poor maintainers lol.
 
Boat Update: I've continued to plug away at the problem, I'm hoping to have the write up done this evening.

You will all be pleased to know we are finally putting the Iwo Jima blueprints to good use.

Cease.

:V

No, just that a 40 kt minimum viable carrier is something that makes sense for us to build because we eventually want to graduate to the big leagues.
(It will suck because we know basically nothing about carrier ops and Iwo Jima plans are not as useful as you think because they don't include the rationale for design decisions, but that's the point: we get to learn)
