investigating Slow roll performance at high alpha - Data

[Hulkbust44]

high_alpha_low_rate.trk

EDIT: Now WIP
Textual data did not post...would need to be rewritten.

All turns were performed with full lateral stick and pedal with aft stick as necessary to maintain alpha.
Turn 1. 14:50:50 41-49 alpha 90 deg turn time= 8 seconds
Turn 2. 14:51:22 37-40 alpha 90 deg turn time= 7 seconds
Turn 3. 14:52:59 23.4-26 alpha 90 deg turn time= 4 seconds

Note that these tests were conducted at low altitude, where the denser air would be increase maneuverability compared to the chart constant of 35k.

I hypothesize that this data set was released in the linked document due to the improbability of practical high alpha maneuvering at such altitudes. Thus, this performance data was considered non damaging and was approved for public release. This is in contrast to all other EM related data on Charlie model Hornets which would at best be: For Official Use Only.

Hi, 

I have shown the team but we are not sure it is reliable as data for our aircraft, we will review what we have however. 

thank you
