Sounds like it has a very high fuel fraction. The airframe and avionics might add up to what, about 700lb? Maybe even less than that, considering it has a lightweight composite construction. If we assume a generous 1000lb, plus the 2000lb warhead, then that still leaves 2000lb of fuel
>The airframe and avionics might add up to what, about 700lb
i seriously doubt those are more than 500lbs. 200lbs sounds more reasonable to me.

Inches split down into fractions for some reason, fricking 12 inches a foot, 3 feet a yard and 1760 yards a mile. You live like this b***h?
fractions are actually objectively more accurate than decimals, which require additional significant digits when dividing (this can be a problem if you're doing real work and not filling out a homework sheet).

The 5,000 lb version was an ancient proposal which never went anywhere and looked like this. The ones actually getting built are are the AGM-158B-2 and the AGM-158D which both increase the range meaningfully without changing the form factor. We're not exactly sure how much the range is now. The original goal was for a 1,000nmi range for JASSM-D but that got toned down a bit. The JASSM program is such a naming clusterfrick that it's hard to keep track of.

Wrong. Most machine shops are still tooled in US customary and expect drawing and models in those units. NASA nominally adopted metric for its engineering department in 2008 but they still convert when they order stuff from 3rd party contractors.

On the contrary. Since we can measure time much more accurately it makes complete sense to define length in terms of an immutable physical process inherent to the very fabric of the universe dependant on time.
morons have a foot. But they want just a bit, now they have 5 inchand 7/16ths of one.
morons have an inch. But they need it smaller So they have half an inch. Then 1/4, 1/8th or maybe 5/16th and 9/32th. Then they need to subract a part, so 9/32th - 3/16th.. Fractions suck dick.
morons have an inch. But they need really tiny things. So they work in thousands of an inch. So they can work "metric". And often they need half-a-thousands. But they need decimal tables to convert between fractions and thousands. Because they are morons.
Chands don't need fractions, because chads have a meter. If they go long, they say km, they know it's just a 1000 meters. Just moving that decimal point, nothing to it. Not like mile and inches.
Chads in daily life need to measure something smaller. They measure in cm, because it's a good size for daily life. 100 cm make up a meter and 1 cm make up 10 mm. Nothing to it.
Chads need to measure something smaller, they use mm. If they want to measure something really small, they use µm. 1000 µm are a mm. Just moving that decimal point, nothing to it.
Chads know that one cubic meter is 1000 liters, which also weights 1000 kg if water. Makes calulating loads and shit super easy.
Chads also know what inches are because they need to handle the morons. They know an inch is 25.4mm. hey like 3/4 inch, because it's very close to 19mm. They know that one thousand of an inch is obviously 25.4 µm and half a thousand is close to 10 µm and their micrometer is good for 2 µm, which is a bit less than 1/10s of a thousands of an inch.
You’d think needing to convert by 10’s is something americans would fricking love to have vs. imperial where every unit has specific number for conversion, which uses more thinking.
If 1000km is too long for you just say 1Mm.
Have you ever used a computer? Do you know what a byte is? A kilobyte? A megabyte? A gigabyte?
Well now you know that 1000 kilo-meters is 1 Mega-meter.
>metric hating
Once you've done actual big boy calculations with metric you will NEVER EVER go back to imperial peasant units. And I say this as a proud freedom loving Americhad. Unit conversion and dimensions are much easier, especially if you're doing calculus and/or diff eq. It'll make you marvel that we got to the moon before computers with that old school homosexual Br*tshit system. I spit on it and all who would hold us back from glorious metric.
Look morons, it real simple: 10 fingers, base 10 number system = base 10 measuring system. You can try to be different all you want but you're just holding us back.
The only reason we aren't on metric is because homosexual pirates took our measuring units.
>break away from a country to do things your own way >keep the worst aspects of their special snowflake island syndrome
I just don't understand. Non-metric units actually trigger me, there is no reason to keep using them other than to troll other countries.
>Look morons, it real simple: 10 fingers, base 10 number system = base 10 measuring system.
Yes Here in the US they tried to institute the metric system in the schools here for a 2nd time when they instituted the "no child left behind program".
The black kids were having trouble with fractions (Sub 80 IQ's) and someone had the same idea as you... Muh, Fingers and Toes Mo Fukka.

>inb4 US military and space program should use imperial for diversity
You’d think needing to convert by 10’s is something americans would fricking love to have vs. imperial where every unit has specific number for conversion, which uses more thinking.
If 1000km is too long for you just say 1Mm.
Have you ever used a computer? Do you know what a byte is? A kilobyte? A megabyte? A gigabyte?
Well now you know that 1000 kilo-meters is 1 Mega-meter.
>using gigabytes
>not gibibytes
NGMI
>metric hating
Once you've done actual big boy calculations with metric you will NEVER EVER go back to imperial peasant units. And I say this as a proud freedom loving Americhad. Unit conversion and dimensions are much easier, especially if you're doing calculus and/or diff eq. It'll make you marvel that we got to the moon before computers with that old school homosexual Br*tshit system. I spit on it and all who would hold us back from glorious metric.
Look morons, it real simple: 10 fingers, base 10 number system = base 10 measuring system. You can try to be different all you want but you're just holding us back.
The only reason we aren't on metric is because homosexual pirates took our measuring units.
>old school homosexual Br*tshit system
You will never tire of seething will you kek
>break away from a country to do things your own way
>keep the worst aspects of their special snowflake island syndrome
I just don't understand. Non-metric units actually trigger me, there is no reason to keep using them other than to troll other countries.
>seethe
Not angry, just disappointed
>Non-metric units actually trigger me
Sounds like a personal problem
>Look morons, it real simple: 10 fingers, base 10 number system = base 10 measuring system.
Yes Here in the US they tried to institute the metric system in the schools here for a 2nd time when they instituted the "no child left behind program".
The black kids were having trouble with fractions (Sub 80 IQ's) and someone had the same idea as you... Muh, Fingers and Toes Mo Fukka.
bond futures are still traded in 1/32's and it's a pain in the ass
It was kinda funny that the NYSE listed prices in eights of a dollar like we were still using fricking Spanish doubloons in 2001.
would you prefer "one megameter"
yes
It's huge. That's it. Incredibly inefficient.
It’s the same size as the standard JASSM
I wasn't comparing it to a standard JASSM.
Then on what grounds is it huge. It’s pretty small for a cruise missile with great range
It's smaller than the Storm Shadow/SCALP in every dimension.
Ditto for the Taurus.
I hope this become the next Tomahawk, US primary cruise missile. This thing is just so cool
>otter mode, troony power
hello PrepHole
The new AGM-158B-2 variant has a range of 1,900km
>how did they make this thing have a range of nearly 1000km? wtf?
how did they make this thing have a range of nearly 621.37 Miles? wtf?
Fixed it for you OP.
because it was designed by white people
We're not fricking telling you, Sergey.
