Play attention to the levcon movement!
Here is a pic I saw at the Key publishing aviation forum

amazing!

The Man
He brought us thousands ands thousands hours of joy, I still think that flanker 1.0 was the best the turning point on desktop simulators.
Sorry I was so late:cry:

Im not fighting Im just saying that F-22 and T-50 has same design approach. And that this aircrafts are too small to make speeds of MIG-31 or Blackbird. Smaller wheel spins faster than the big one, as faster it spins as bigger load on construction, I don't need internet to understand that.
I don't agree with you that missile will solve all the problems. It seems I was right, because missile don't track as good as they were FC1.
Wasn't the Concorde designed to use small diameter turbojet to reduce drag? Or was it the tu-144? They could have used a turbofan by sacrificing drag efficiency. Let me know if I'm wrong?

I'll take the super hornet over the scripted alpha f-16.

The issue now is that other countries are developing stealth fighter at a faster pace because they didn't buy into the do it all jet. The Chinese got 2 stealth jets in the works that are made to fill an specific roll unlike the f-35.
The main problem confronted by the US is current needs vs projected treads. The current needs include economical ground support and transport for troops, but the projected treads include high tech stealth jets and sophisticated defense networks. So, how do you cover both with this world economy?

Do they put any protective coat to the paint on the aircrafts? that mig is relatively new and the paint is already weathered? is it that they apply very light coats?
-
T-50 tvc moves
-
Su-35 demo, check the landing, the flaperons as air brakes
-
Lol ... But now my question is why they pus the hinge on the front?
-
Thanks! No word on the cause? G lock? Maybe?

Su-25 Crash?
What happened here?

If we were talking about a tv equipped eurofighter or f-16 we would not be having this argument.
It is the same story that when the russians showed the su-27 and mig-29 for the first time... a few years after that we saw the west introducing a tv equipped raptor and the development of the aim-9x.
About that rafale video, the only thing it proves is that the rafale pilot was very good, he extended because he couldn't out turn the f-22, the f-22 kept turning and turning until it got too slow, then it became lunch. I think that the rafale is very underrated anyway, maybe the americans got a lesson that day.
People don't realize that the russians corrected the weaknesses of the su-30 mk; the su-35 has better power to weight ratio, it is less draggy, uses an improved control systems, it can super cruse (how fast? I don't know) as commented by the su-35 pilot himself.

There is a picture of a flanker painted to imitate the taxiway concrete. I wonder why the Russians are using that dark gray,is it harder to see than the blue? Did they apply any radar reduction paint? Also fighters get anti glare and reflexion treatment on windows and glass, at some angles it looks like the glass is stained with oil, lol.
Is there any laser protection on American fighters. I read that the Russians don't turn on The laser rangefinder on the flankers and migs during training to prevent pilots from getting the man in black treatment while dogfighting.

So what was reference 4?
Here's why not. It looks like a Harrier with a bodykit.
I said the navy rejected a delta wing fighter before. Aka yf-32, Boeing had to rush and redo the wings to make it a conventional fighter with tails, now they are showing another delta wing like they forgot the previous experience. You said no.
-
No.
Why not?
The two X-32 prototypes featured a delta wing design, which was chosen to minimize production manufacturing costs. However, eight months into construction of the prototypes, the JSF's maneuverability and payload requirements were refined at the request of the Navy and Boeing's delta wing design fell short of the new targets. Engineers put together a new design with a conventional tail (narrowly beating out a Pelikan tail) with reduced weight and improved agility, but it was too late to change the prototypes. It was judged that they would be sufficient to demonstrate Boeing's technology.[4]
-
Mikoyan, make sure to point that out to the Navy, they'll set the Boeing guys straight and in a few months or years you'll see the new design proposal. :lol:
Yf-32 anyone?
-
the navy doesn't like delta wings, why are they planning on designing it as a delta wing?
-
Ya. he can pull through the kicker with more force and override. Obviously he has to know what he's doing before he does this or things might end bad. Specifically stated in the Luftwaffe manual, overriding is forbidden. :)
I don't think the flanker has a kicker! it is flight by wire not mechanical like the mig-29
-
The russians are very careful, they are following a incremental approach just like they did with the flanker, I think that Lockheed is a great company for specialized airplanes but no the best making fighters, and Boeing has not designed a fighter aircraft of their own.

Fantastic su-30 demo!
-
mig-29 flight!
-
Horrible stuff, people killing people on camera. How can we be sure these missiles aren't going to be used agains airliners?
-
Imagine lossing a few on accidents! things like bird strikes, engine failure, pilot mistakes wow! imagine if you were on real war having to replace your aircrafts! How much is going to be the next generation fighter by Lockmart? 350 a pop?

Nice man! good luck, don’t forget to post cool stuff if you get a chance:thumbup:
