Author Topic: Forums for interesting aerospace discussions like NSF (Read 2084 times)

NSF doesn't have a true aerospace section (maybe it should, but scope creep).
I was reading an article about this new Chinese fighter jet. Then there's the new American one. There are new supersonic designs, air taxis, lots of fun stuff.

But I don't know of any such forum that is as high quality as this one. Actual engineers, industry experience, no nonsense. The opposite of Reddit.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

This forum dedicatedly centers on all things Space! While we mainly focus on that area, we do welcome discussions about aircraft only if they support Space-related missions. Like you, I have a deep appreciation for the fascinating history of aerospace and the latest innovations in aviation. I'd love to hear from our Forum members if you have suggestions for other forums that explore these exciting topics- please share them here!

I can recommend the Secret Projects forum.

The Secret Projects Forum would probably be a good start.

Edit: darn I'm getting slow. My fellow Dutchman Hobbes-22 posted the same advice hours before I did...
