chennuts Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 It's not the high g loading so much as the rate of change of the g load. If you gradually increase the g load on the wings, you can exceed 7g without risking the loss of one (or both). However, if you increase the load from 1g to 7g+ in a fraction of a second, you're looking at some serious damage. Regardless, sustained high g loads aren't going to be great for an airframe!

pschelchshorn Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 the story is true. Some pics are photoshopped so they show the situation the f-15 and its pilot was in. The photoshops have nothing to do with the legitimacy of the story. Flip "Imagine the reason that people hold on to hatred so stubbornly is because if the hate is removed, the pain will set in. Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I still have not seen a non-photoshopped in flight photo of this incident, I believe it to be a propoganda story oo err...missus:animals_bunny: ** Anti-Pastie** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotasso Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Its not propaganda. Although the Israelis and the US often spice up those stories, the wingless F-15 landing did hapen. I have a documentary telling this story.

Force_Feedback Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well, since everybody is doing it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_071.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_062.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_130.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_132.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_135.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_151.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_153.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v116/force_Feedback/ScreenShot_176.jpg I also remember landing the f-15 and the in lomac, but I deleted the screens in a reinstall. The key in landing clipped airfoils is to trim them, and anticipate the reduced effectivity at slow speeds. Oh, also had tons of screens where I landed the su-25t with either one or both wings clipped, but everybody did that in the first days of FC, so it ain't news.

Force_Feedback Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 This is LockOn, reality????.... impossible! In real life the pilot would either eject immediately, or crash that thing near a designated position (some lake or other unpopulated area), ejecting from it first. There is no way anybody will be taking the risk of damaging the runway. The Russians had a similar incident with the Mig-AT, during a test flight, the horizontal stab broke off, and the pilot had only 150kg of fuel left while being 40km from the runway. He landed it by using engine thrust only (roll and yaw remained uneffected). The difference however is that they both had a HUD-tape of it, and a ground camera shot the approach and landing. ;) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM505 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The pics of the F15 in the air are from a documentary on the incident - it was on the History channel. They are obviously edited as a recreation of the incident. There are no inflight photo's of that incident that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
