Also, it is entirely possible to have a large military (perhaps not as large as it is now, but still larger than others) without a commensurably large economy. You just have other countries pay for it. I don't see Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc. developing their own weapons. We get other countries to pay for them.

For instance, look at this (won't let me directly link). http://www.f-16.net/fleet-reports_article1.html

Obviously, we have an assload of F-16s (~2,250). But, add up all the other countries, and they've bought roughly 2,665. So, assuming they paid full price (I know they didn't, but that's a separate issue - foreign aid), then they paid for roughly half the development costs of the F-16. If this carries over to future projects, and we treat it like other commodities (where the people who make the thing get it for a low price, but charge higher prices to consumers), then we can finance our military with other peoples' money.

To a certain and limited degree, of course.

"bird ingestion (for an engine)"

it literally says right there for an engine it's called something else.

plus, mr. retard, one engines still has two intakes. two engines still have two intakes. it literally doesn't change anything. if anything it's easier for one engine to deal with one turbine instead of two engines using 1.

once again rubio is sonned into oblivion by his better fed superiors.

and oh boy let's dump hundreds of millions if not billions into putting two engines on a multi-purpose plane so that in 20 years we don't have 14 engine ingestions when it having two engines won't even matter.
