Comparative test of the speed brakes M-2000xJF-17

[Shmal]

There were taken M-2000 fuel 39% and JF-17 fuel 100%

Their weight is equal.

Overall dimensions are similar.

 

Take a look:

 

Of course the other aircrafts in DCS is going to go forward much faster! )))

Would you enlighten us (or me at least, because I really don't get it) on what that is supposed to tell us?

All airbrakes are not equal, just like not all brakes are equal or landing gears etc etc.

 

But if you have same speed (check)

Same weight (inertia)

 

Then it is up to air brakes design that how much they can start causing drag and how they might disturb your aircraft airflow.

 

But only conclusion I can find from such test is that M2000 has superior air brakes so it can quickly slow down, while JF-17 has much less effective ones.

Now try it with the Viggen :P its airbrakes were so useless they eventually were wired shut since they didn't do much at all.
