razo+r Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Well, got more informations? But my guess would be your overspeeded. Don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbod31 Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) It has happened more than once as soon i jett my fuel pod should overspeed be a problem ? isn't it a Mach 2 jet? Edited October 7, 2020 by abbod31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossmum Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 It is a Mach 2 jet, at high altitude. No piloted aircraft I know of will do Mach 2 on the deck, the air is too dense and the aircraft either lacks the excess thrust or lacks the structural integrity, usually the latter. Your maximum speed is 1,300km/h IAS. At high altitude, this allows you to reach about Mach 2.05, or 2.1 if you feel like pushing your luck. Here's how to avoid flameouts in the 21: - Don't exceed 1,300km/h IAS at any altitude. - Don't make rapid throttle movements at high altitude, especially cutting to idle. - Don't force the nose down for more than a second or two. Zero or negative G stops the main fuel tanks feeding into the service tank properly and the engine will suck it dry in a matter of seconds. - Don't mess with the nose cone, the automated system is there for a reason. Tailslides can cause some issues too, I think, but that might be another manifestation of the negative/zero G fuel flow problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) should overspeed be a problem ? isn't it a Mach 2 jet? The engine can only cope with 1300kph IAS, above that it dies. It is a Mach 2 aircraft though. IAS is very altitude dependent. Mach is too (to a lesser degree). 1200kph IAS at sea level = ~1200kph actual speed 1200kph IAS at 30,000m = ~2200kph actual speed ( > Mach 2) Mach 1 at 0m (sea level) is ~1225kph Mach 2 at sea level is ~2450kph Mach 1 at 30,000m is ~1086kph Mach 2 at 30,000m is ~2172kph tl;dr: keep IAS below 1300kph, for high mach numbers, fly very high.
