RAF Future Transport

[Captain Slog]

The first picture of the RAF’s Future Transport Aircraft (FTA) has been released by the Ministry of Defence. This is a Vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft for transporting special-ops forces to hostile areas. The Technology behind it involves a blended-wing-body design with six jet engines powering lift fans and providing forward thrust.

A MoD spokesperson stated that it has been specially designed with no windows so that the special-ops personnel it will be carrying would not be able to look out and see which country Tony Blair had sent then to. This was an important feature in their ability to fight his next war.

As the Prime Minister was due to retire in the summer of 2007, he felt that this was a vital step forward for the RAF Future Area Rapid Containment Elite mobility force (FARCE) as he had only 4 months of his time left to fight the remaining 3 more wars he had planned against Muhammad Omar and the Taliban, Bin Laden and Al'Qieda and David Cameron and the Conservatives.

The aircraft is due to test flight on 1 Apr 2007.

Is it armourer proof? DT_Xtremez_31:

Isn't it also too early to say Happy Birthday to the RAF (89 this year!)

Well, it's got to be better than the Airbus we've been promised. BTW, since Airbus are shedding 10,000 jobs across Europe, does anyone know what the impact will be on the A400?

Yes, the United States Military announced today the development of a new type of missile that is aimed at gaining humanitarian ground all over the world.

The new armament is being touted as a sure fire way to help turn the U.S. Military's image of being murderous tyrants into peace loving, helpful people feeders.

Edible Missile Inc. based in the Nevada desert, has just completed testing on a missile that is completely edible.

After the missile explodes, effectively destroying a 250 yard area, all left over parts can then be picked up and safely eaten by any people left living in the region.

These new missiles are available in various ethnic flavors such as Falafel, Spinach with Crude Oil Sauce and Badinjan Muhassa.

We should buy these instead (they are real!), then we wouldnt need any jumped up aircrew hoopers and we could use all the money saved on flying pay and wages to feed the poor!!

Funny you should mention that, the RAF guys at Eilson AFB on the predator HAVE to be a qualified pilot to, ahem, fly the predator. This therefore entails recieving flying pay, eh voila!
