Talk:Future Combat Air System

Weight info

"the NGF is projected to be 40 metric tons" claims https://aviationweek.com/defense/budget-policy-operations/france-envisions-larger-future-aircraft-carrier-more-uas They don't give a source for this (it doesn't read as if the article is a verbatim transscript of the interview with Adm Vaujour), and a few lines on they say that the EMALS catapult system allows planes between two and 40 tons to be launched, so I'm not sure if they just deducted that from this number or if they had indeed another info directly on NGF (which is how it reads). Just for comparison, that would be a tad heavier than the F-15EX. In any case, a new info that could be put into the article (not sure where, as we have no tech specs paragraph yet).--OBrian (talk) 20:49, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
