mvsgas Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Deliveries are taking place and the aircraft now bear Romania's insignia roundel. Thanks *sigh* Look at all the F-16 porn ... how fun it would be to fly the red-flag campaign as the SEAD element in an F-16CJ *sigh* The F-16 could be the SEAD, the escort, the strike and the battle damage assessment (BDA) We just need several versions...I guess the updated CCIP USAF F-16CM (current block 40/42/50/52) could do all those.

Veritech Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Why would you carry 120s in the wingtips of those 16s in Afghanistan? I hardly doubt Iran would try to do anything.

You will find several opinions on this online, but AIM-120 carried in the wingtip is suppose to help the F-16. Some say it help avoid or diminish flutter, some say it does not. The only thing for certain is that in the last couple of years, it is more and more common to see F-16 carrying AIM-120 on the wing tip, even captive/training missiles on day to day flight.

Interesting fact. I wonder why the FBW does not correct the flutter by itself. On the other hand, the roll performance on the F-5 is indeed affected when carrying wingtip missiles.

The FBW should have all posible variants of wing loading to prevent any unwanted manouver (in this case, flutter). But I'll read the article today to understand the issue in depth.

Veritech Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 mvsgas, I do apologize for the whole discussion. My limited knowledge on english language made me understand that fluttering was a variation of the X axis of the whole aircraft, and not just wing movement (flutter). I do apologise for that and the answer is no: the FBW do not prevent that, it affects the flight envelope, it indeed does not have anything to do with how the structure of the aircraft moves due to a multiple array of variables.

Pocket Sized Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It would make sense that the 120s prevent flutter. If you look at the wing during ground ops the wingtip tends to twist (leading edge going up and down) which the mass of the 120 would dampen. I guess it would reduce fatigue in the wing structure caused by flexing. DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotasso Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I heard its simply because its easier to load them on wingtip stations due to better clearance.
