A-10 Stats

[gruundehn]

Yes, I worked on the A-10 back when I was on active duty. That bird can carry a sh*tload of ordinance and can take enough damage to destroy five of any other combat type and it was designed to be easy to work on.

Have you tried Google? Search for the A-10 specifications and you should get what you need. What you probably won't be told is that the titanium bathtub, the cockpit protection, can take two 37mm hits in the same spot before the protection breaks down and anything after that can get through. The aircraft can fly with one engine and one horizontal and vertical stabilizer missing as well as the outer portion of each wing down to where the ailerons start.

The Electronic Warfare Receiver (what I used to work on - an earlier version, ALR-46 against ALR-69 today) can detect, and display (and otherwise warn the pilot about) as many as a dozen different threats of various types giving the direction in relation to the aircraft nose and the distance in relation to the effective danger distance. The effective danger distance is how close the threat has to be before it has a serious chance to kill the A-10.
