sans-sarif

Collectively, Working on it.

Like a hotel at a party, you don't really want to leave at the end of it. Holding on to the end of the world(tm).

A plural system collectively known as Sans. Constituent Parts are:
swozi, HOLLY, *MF, narra + hangers on. 31, Tired, Furry, here because a bunch of friends decided this was where they were crashing for the foreseeable future. Accidentally turned this into our primary location because it made us pretty comfortable, honestly.
(it's pronounced vox, by the way.)

@sans-sarif asked:

asking this to you, a person who's more versed in soviet avionics - when did the soviets pick up on the whitcomb rule? like, afaik the 21 never did the wasp-waisting that things like the f-102/f-5 did. did they ever incorporate that concept?

That's a good question- and I'm afraid I don't know! I do know that the really exaggerated wasp-waisting became less important as engines increased in power and our understanding of supersonic aerodynamics got better (you may note it's not really a thing nowadays) so it's entirely possible the Soviets skipped over the period it was a must-have design characteristic, or found a different way to apply the area rule- it's not an area of particular expertise for me, so this is just conjecture, but I'd be interested in seeing if anyone more on the engineering side of things knew more!
