aaron886 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I wonder why only creators of Mi-28 use the freakin' brilliant cabin design. Small windows + close to the pilot's head = equal or greater FOV + greater front section rigidity. Probably in acknowledgement that if you're being hit by something that isn't going to absolutely blow the aircraft out of the sky, you've already horribly screwed the pooch.

Did I read it right that you negate the sense of stronger cockpit armor protection?

Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Did I read it right that you negate the sense of stronger cockpit armor protection? I reject your reality, and substitute my own. :D Anyway, armor's for wankers... :music_whistling:
aaron886 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Did I read it right that you negate the sense of stronger cockpit armor protection? It's only worthwhile to an extent. Eventually, you're adding weight, cramping the pilot (unergonomic,) etc. The best way to keep the pilot safe is for him to employ the aircraft in such a way as to not get shot at.

jpm1 Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Try looking under Navy, not Air Force.:doh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Naval_Aviation it's hard for me to understand the 33 is just a 27 navalized . in my mind the 33 is more an upgraded/modernized SU-27 :) SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Fjordmonkey Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 check the demo team behind link What's the strange apparatus surrounding the jet nozzles on that bird? Regards Fjordmonkey Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone. I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.
Demokrator Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 What's the strange apparatus surrounding the jet nozzles on that bird? Smoke generator I guess:).

Your logic is invalid. Even in case where "we don't need our cockpit that tough" design constraint is applied, the Mi-28 way (smaller window panes) still provide higher cockpit strength for a given mass, thus if you still insist on lightly (or not at all) armored cockpit, you get your cockpit lighter. Similarly you don't say no to composites because "naah, I don't need my aircraft to be that resistant" ;) F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
