borchi_2b Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 ok this is a question for all f-15 lovers. i have just figured that the us aif force does not use the hooks at the f-15c anymore, there for i am thinking about the fact that i have to model the rear of the fuselage between the nozzles a bit diffrent. my attemt is to model the actual f-15c that is flying today, so keep that in mind when you ask yourself this question: do we need the hook area like the f-15 had in the 80ies? many many aswers are welcome, so please feel free to post your thoughts, so that we as simmod team have something to work with. cheers boom boom http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majesco Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 i wonder is the F-15C's tailhook a ruin of F-15N Sea Eagle project for naval fleet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leandromarrone Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 is a safety hook, for shorts runways... Nacido para volar [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhen Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) :huh: :doh: Great work on the Eagle, Boom Boom. Hope it becomes more popular than Walmis' model, which I enjoy very much. Contrary to popular(?) :noexpression: belief, the tailhook on the F-15 (or for that matter, on any other USAF fighter-type aircraft) is NOT there because we just envy the hell out of . :lol: It is, however, there for the same purpose as used by our naval bretheren ("Naval aviators" or as we call them... Squids):megalol:. The tailhook is there to stop the aircraft in a short distance. The tailhook is there for emergencies where the aircraft is incapable of stopping in the normal fashion - a normal landing, aerobraking, and then using wheel brakes once slowed below 120Kts. That nose-up attitude you see when we land is not a wheelie we do just to look cool (although it does look cool, doesn't it?:megalol:), it's aerodynamic braking, which allows us to slow without using the wheel brakes. Using the wheel brakes at high speeds - 120 kts in the Eagle, might cause hot brakes, which can reach a significant temperature - sometimes up to 30 min after landing. This can cause the tires to explode, which does not make the crew chief very happy with the pilot.:smartass: So, we need alternate ways of stopping an aircraft weighing over 20 tons, with puny brakes and small tires, in case of brake failure or high speed landing. Enter the tailhook. It's used to catch the cable you see at the approach/departure end of military runways. These are usually BAK-9/12/13/14 type cables you see 1,500 ft down the approach end of the runway, which is raised using rubber donuts to a height sufficient for the tailhook to engage the system. The aircraft is then brought to a stop by the kinetic energy being absorbed by the system to stop the aircraft in a short distance. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_13/runway.pdf So, to recap, we haven't stopped using the tailhook on USAF aircraft, and it's not some US Navy master plan to steal USAF aircraft and use them on carriers.:megalol: Edited June 26, 2008 by Rhen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchi_2b Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 well i never mentioned it that way :-) i just figured that the airframe was changed and that the end of the hook is not covered anymore. thats the difference and that what i wanted to know what the community things about http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matze81 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 It would be cool if you could model the tailhook portion without the cover. That's the way the Eagles have it nowadays. By the way, your model looks really awesome! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borchi_2b Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 that was the actual question for the community, tailhook covered or not? i would like to see more comments on this :-) 1 http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borchi_2b Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 it sits in the cockpit, arms are not moved do to the animation question, but that will be solved in the next days. still there are other more imprtant things that are on my list, but do not worry :-) http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
