Nah man, you've got it all wrong. The 21Bis (and certain export versions IIRC) had a side-moving nosecone. It's to compensate for asymmetric load once a missile has been fired from only one wing.

No, no, no, you got it all wrong. It's supposed to move up and down to account for the change in center of gravity due to fuel consumption.

Also, if you keep the Nosecone switch in Auto mode, you won't need to trim aircraft for L/R side.

Right. The early versions of the aircraft had aileron trim, but they removed it to save weight when they changed the shock cone movement axis.

I heard it can spin really fast to aid in overcoming roll inertia.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Come let's eat grandpa!

Secondary function, only on select imports, not yet moddled, allow radar to scan 45 degrees to the side. For blindsiding the enemy

You just have to remember to perform all level bombing in knife-edge flight.

 

No, seriously, they are pulling your leg. The nose cone does not move sideways in the real aircraft. That is a bug.

 

In the real world the aircraft moves sideways, as the nose cone actuator is hooked up to the airframe and not the other way around.

A lot of coneheads in this thread, it seems.

 

Yeah, but now we know exactly how nose cone works

The nosecone moves sideways, when it's sniffing for signs of enemy.

He must feel so ashamed because he initially thought that nose cone side to side movement is a bug. He is now looking for a way to delete his account because his name will be forever infamous!

Wat.?

 

Seriously, RTFM!

 

The manual is wrong! I have charts!!!

 

Downloaded off the interwebs, based on three not completely unrelated anecdotes retold half a century after the fact by a probably German test pilot who back in '43 flew an aircraft which shared certain switch positions with the MiG-19 which should be fairly close to the MiG-21. The data was gathered by three thousand shakespearean monkeys with typewriters in an obscure forum related to kitchen appliances. The charts were then fudged to make it feeeeeeeeel right. Some of the monkeys had actual typewriter experience, so the charts cannot be wrong!

 

(They're also drawn with three perpendicular green lines in blue ink and contain the shape of a kitten.)

 

Yeah -- not sure what effte has been drinking.

 

You are such a fanboi. I bet you wish you could spend your entire life just trying to make a member of the team behind the aircraft comfortable. :D

 

Cheers,

/Fred
