Azazel Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Ok dudes. When I was on active duty crewing Strikes at SJ, a pilot and I were discussing this very thing in comparing the Craptor ability to super crusie vs the 15. My pilot said that the 15 can super cruise. It has to climb pretty high (upper 30's - 40's) and must go into burner first to get there. He also said it could stay there using mil power depending on its weight. Take that FWIW. Issue settled for me. My Rig: EVGA GTX 1070 x 2 | EVGA x58 SLI classified | i7 X 990 CPU | 24 GB RAM | Windows 10 Home 64 bit| Track IR Pro | CH Fighter Stick | CH Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
VincentLaw Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Bow shocks are oblique shocksNo. Bow Shocks are strong shocks combining normal and oblique. The front (center) of a bow shock is normal to the freestream flow and thus all flow immediately behind the center of any bow shock will be subsonic. If you move far enough away from the center of the bow shock you will find supersonic flow again. Edited October 4, 2015 by VincentLaw [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SinusoidDelta Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Issue settled for me. The E has significantly more thrust with the 229's than the the C has with the -220's. At Military power, standard day, 4xAim-7's and no CFT's the F-15E can sustain just over Mach 1.00 within a very small altitude range.
