DmitriKozlowsky Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I keep forgetting just how fast F-5E rolls with aileron limiter OFF. Its unreal fast. Like A-4E-C if you keep rolling, you go into GLOC and spin into ground. Neither Viper nor Hornet, empty Harrier, or empty Mirage2KC rolls that crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 You got any documents saying it is not like this? It is not the only Airplane that rolls fast. Mirage (without limiter), MiG-21 and the A-4 roll fast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DmitriKozlowsky Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 I didn't it was unrealistic. Likely it is. Its just so quick, that it does not seem real. In a good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, unreal, but not unrealistic. Subtle! 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

Not only due to GLOC, also due to aerodynamic reasons e.g. consecutive aileron rolls are a no-go on many combat aircraft, e.g. the F-15.

Bob1943 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I flew the T-38 in pilot training in 1967-68. It had a very fast roll rate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well, if it didn't, it wouldn't have a limiter, wouldn't it? It's a nimble fighter, so handle with care, it doesn't have FBW and will not stop you from getting into trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
