Hawkeye91 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Curious as to how much they will increase the performance of the Tomcat. The drag index changes from the forum post about them seem to be quite significantly reduced. We have gotten them yet have we?

And which of the variants. Right now the A model has issues going supersonic above angels 20, so...... a lot there. There should also be a change in the induced drag values at subsonic speeds, but not all will notice the change there, as the performance delta will require subtle control inputs and intimate knowledge of the flight model.

Yeah I’ve definitely noticed with the A it struggles pushing through the transitional range. Will be interesting to see how that range is affected
