  4.  @nutzeeer  When a single-engine has enough thrust for take-off with high payload. It's regulations.

  5.  @paulvanh1796  Fake news https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/03/mask-wars-coronavirus-outbidding-demand The German reports said the masks had been made by a Chinese producer for the US company 3M, but the firm issued a statement on Friday night saying: “3M has no evidence to suggest 3M products have been seized. 3M has no record of any order of respirators from China for the Berlin police. We cannot speculate where this report originated.” ---- China has effectively nationalized foreign mask producers. The lesson, don't outsource basic medical supplies to another country and they are not Nike shoes or Apple iPhones. China didn't learn from SARS when COVID-19 is also known as SARS-COV-2. It's most likely happen again as long as China has weak bio-security for food production. After the COVID situation, it's better to start DIY stockpile at home.

  6.  @TheOlRazzleDazzler  35,000 lbf dry thurst is close to F-35 turbofan's 28,000 lbf dry thurst mode. F-35's turbofan 28,000 lbf dry thurst level is an afterbunner mode on F-16C Block 30's old engines.

  7.  @TheOlRazzleDazzler  FYI, wet thrust aka afterburner.

  8.  @TheOlRazzleDazzler  The F-22 AFAIK is capable to go through the sonic barrier in military thrust only. Other planes like the Eurofighter do supercruise but need the afterburner briefly to pass the transonic range. Then holding full dry thrust it manages mach 1.3 or so.
