ED Team BIGNEWY Posted November 4, 2015 ED Team Posted November 4, 2015 I see drag / speed reduction when the gear is deployed. I am enquiring about damage when deployed at speed.

I deployed it low level at about Mach 1.1 yesterday in full afterburner and didn't notice any reduction in top end speed. Try at Max speed and see if it slows you down?

Try at Max speed and see if it slows you down? Quote from Retired Eagle Driver. This was asked more in tune of the airbrake but landing gear was mentioned "The air brake is a giant 8ft board. It slows the jet down considerable and we always used it during landing. How ever the engines in the Eagle are so powerful that in the upper rpms it would just push the board down negating it's affect. With the gear down you wont nessasirly feel it but you would see it in the fuel burn." I asked my Cousin an ex F15 pilot for a Member on the forums about feeling the landing gear and when if or how often he used the airbrake during landing. As far as your pertaining question. the gear does slow the jet down. How ever currently there is no damage model when deployed above 350kts. For the WIN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If your desired effect on the target is making the pilot defecate his pants laughing then you can definitely achieve it with a launch like that.
Decibel dB Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) The title is miss leading. The landing gear will not produce induced drag. It will be parasite drag :D http://www.pilotfriend.com/training/flight_training/aero/drag.htm Edited November 4, 2015 by Decibel dB
howie87 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Ooops, I stand corrected! The damage model seems to be the issue here then.
