[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] I don't agree with the 12.5 meter value. 1. Your comparison is flawed. http://www.st-v-sw.net/images/VisAid/tacfighter-15-comparison2.jpg That is a partial-transparency overlay of your comparison image with the original fighter image. Note how not only do the sizes not match up, but the shapes of the windows are different. This shape difference can be seen by looking at pictures of the Type-15, as well. 2. The two values . . . 12.5 vs. 18 . . . are based on different methodologies. For the two to have such vastly different results, there must be a problem. I do not think the problem rests in my method or the measurements. For the fighter to be 12.5 meters long, the cockpit exterior could only be 1.5 meters in width based on the CGI dorsal view. Cal Hudson, at about 2/3rds of a meter wide based on measurement of his height (the actor is 1.93m) versus width in the episode, would fill almost half of the cockpit. If his copilot were only .6 meters wide (being a smaller guy), then there would only be about 20-30 centimeters (i.e. less than a foot) of extra room between their shoulders and between their shoulders and the wall. The heavily-modified shuttlepod set appears to give them more room than that (though we only see them from the sides), and the exterior view into the cockpit from the front certainly gives them more room.
