Read today that you Navy grey pointy nose jet types are losing external/CL tanks as the norm and flying clean and that the net net performance is a wash.
The aero nerd in me is curious. Is this the norm or becoming the norm? And can someone explain to me why it’s more or less equal? The drag I get but wondering about endurance.
Thank you from a GA CFI and Helo dude who never flew a pointy nose jet!
