Old news. Every new aircraft suffers from several glitches. The Typhoon also has glitches. In my country several MLU F-16 have been exiting the production line with glitches.

 

The F-22 makes headlines because of the lobies.

I am so happy I only need the PC for my spreadsheets and stuff. If it gets stuck, I just press Ctrl-alt-del and get a beer. Imagine you are in a Mach 2 aircraft totally controlled by the computer! In the middle of dogfight you get "error loading pentagonchitchat.sys" "press Escape Quit or insert recovery disc". Bummer!

F-$$ driver not being able to get out of the cockpit and people having to chainsaw his way out?

 

That was not a 'glitch'. That was a catastrophe of epical proportions.

 

LOL "epic prortions?" Compared to what? To the Su-35 at Le Bourget? :D

 

At least F-$$ arent allowed to fly before serious glitches are fixed.

Fortunately, modern fighters with computer control systems actually have 3 or 4 independent systems, some I have heard basically take vote and the majority decision is acted on.......that could be a bit dodgy in a 4 computer system tho:megalol:

I suppose it would be rare to get 2 out of 4 bad systems

oo err...missus:animals_bunny:

Every report into that crash I have seen states it was pilot error that was responsible for that crash and not equipment failure.

 

Longer version.

 

I would say that the pilot judged his height for this manoeuvre wrong.

That was a pilot error and planes crashing happens all the time.

You can't compare those two at all.

 

F22 is a no0b, point n' click plane and I heard the latest types have a small chainsaw in the cockpit for the emergency situations.

 

Flanker is a lot cheaper and it looks beatiful.

 

If F$$ had a sex, it would sure as hell like to bang one of those Su-35's.

Ok, first of all, it was a Su-30MKI, there was no equipment failure, just a stressed pilot that had to fly an alternative routine after his display time was cut short. The dude did one roll too many, scraped the ground, one engine was on fire, the other had a TVC system "malfunction" (due to the nozzles scraping the ground) and so one nozzle was stuck in the pitch up position.

The pilots tried to recover the plane, but when they realised it was uncoltrollable, they ejected, and thanks to the K-36D 3.5 ejection seat, which chose one of the 150 modes that fitted the situation (low level, inverted with a pitch moment) the seat's rockets gimballed in such a way to give as much altitude as possible, while ejecting away from the plane. If they were sitting in MB Mk-10s they would be evenly smeared across the lump of metal that was the seat a few seconds ago.

 

 

Lol, isn't a chainsaw on the forbidden list of air baggage? Don't they have to install a bulletproof door, with a secret code, in order to guarantee flight safety? :megalol:

One F-$$ already crashed due to a software error, and with the prototype it was a routine to have some kind of computer crash in mid flight.

Guess the flight software has become as efficient as Windows and other popular software (lots of nice gizmos, bad performance and an unclear GUI structure) :(. Give them 16 Mhz, they do something nice and efficient, give them 4 Ghz, they make the same thing, but it will only start running on a 2Ghz+ cpu :(

It may be point and click but then you cant win wars with macho atitudes torwards flying either. ;)

 

Digital Integration in the cocpits will always be much better than finger TTA counters. :P

Wow ! Excelent demonstration of the ejection seats ! I though you can eject only up-perpendicular from the plane but it looks like on the video the seats are ejected in front of aircraft nose ! Even if the plane is upside down they got ejected and gained altitude !

I was in a multimillion dollar machine (mobile equpment) when main computer crashed. I know the feeling.

At $350 000 per F-22, it is just plain embarrassing to use a chainsaw to “open” the cockpit. The chainsaw does not mean that F-22 is a failure either.

Of course "they" are going to say its pilot error. :pilotfly:

Who is going to want to buy an aircraft with systems problems?

I bet the USA wished it was that price.

 

Not one of the F22 fanbois, but it is old news anyway. I imagine nearly all airframe types have had similar problems, canopy control mechanism freeze etc. All part of the "Beta" testing stage, just slightly embarrasing this was released to the public.

 

If I were head of the programme, I would quickly like to find out which muppet got out his digital camera and took photos then sent them to the press. Just shows how easy it is to take photos of this stuff and pass them on... wonder how many inside and more detailed photos have been taken by the technicians for "personal" use.

That would be illogical, as the pilots are also trained in the use of the back up solid state FBW sytem (the ones they have been flying with in the vanilla su-27)

It's just that the Su-27 is very unforgiving when exceeding max AoA at slow speeds/high sinkrates, 3 of them were filmed on tape, one in 1992 (with the post crash ejection), one in 1999 with the su-30MKI, and one in august 2002, where a heavy su-27UB exceeded AoA limits causing the speed to bleed, this and misjudgement of the engine spool up time caused it, killing over 80 spectators and wounding 4 times more.

 

There have been fbw improvements at Sukhoi, as the Su-27SKM (single seat multirole, but not the su-35) doesn't have canards, but an improved FBW system, making it as agile as with canards, that's what the Sukhoi site said at least.

word is , the pilot was opening / closing the cockpit without letting the actuator cool.....so murphy's law say's things will go wrong when you least want it (as opposed to...why didn't it get stuck while in the up position?)

Thanks,

Brett
