wilky510 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 ))) Aww, came all the way over from the Russian side just to say that? How cute.

Maximus_G Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Aww, came all the way over from the Russian side just to say that? How cute. Yeah, i even had to make a pass in the barricades"on the Russian side", run from guard bears and pay off by vodka - make all that way just to get here and see your reaction )
Krippz Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Interesting article: Not as agile as the Super Hornet nor as fast as the Typhoon? Don’t you believe it, says Lockheed Martin test pilot Billie Flynn. He will put the F-35A through its paces at Le Bourget this week, proving that the aircraft is more maneuverable than any he has flown, he says, including Boeing’s F/A-18, the Eurofighter, and his own company’s F-16 Viper. “After 10 years since first flight, with our first opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities and the maneuverability of the F-35, we are going to crush years of misinformation about what this aircraft is capable of doing,” Flynn said in an interview with Aviation Week. http://aviationweek.com/paris-air-show-2017/f-35-demo-pilot-paris-performance-will-crush-years-misinformation [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22
probad Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 YeqryYh_yw0 here is the performance. ~3:25 is probably the most beautiful pedal turn entry ive ever seen, amazing vapor.
mvsgas Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for that. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
mvsgas Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I can't wait for all the "Naysayers" to explain how the aircraft is still not maneuverable, does not have enough thrust, etc. 5 or 6 years ago, I thought this aircraft was going to be another F-111, glad it appears I was wrong so far. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

Maximus_G Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 5 or 6 years ago, I thought this aircraft was going to be another F-111, glad it appears I was wrong so far. Its Le Bouget demo is superb, great power and controllability - very convincing, that thing is a fighter! 1
mvsgas Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I wish we can see a demo of the B and C as well. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

Emu Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I'd be surprised if either of those turns was flat out. For comparison here's a Typhoon going flat out over first 180deg followed by a recovery turn over the second 180deg.

Wizard_03 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I wonder what the radius will look like when it can go to 9Gs with block 3F DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer:
SkateZilla Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 The demo was Impressive, if not a bit short... That being said.. comparing turn radius in a video isnt always accurate.. Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
RyboPops Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 I wonder what the radius will look like when it can go to 9Gs with block 3F Probably not that much different, it at all. The MRT is not flown at full G load.
Airj247 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 As a Canadian I don't know how to feel about this jet. It seems like its gonna be a great fighter, but at the same time it has numerous problems. I was inverted B)
Wizard_03 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Probably not that much different, it at all. The MRT is not flown at full G load. Well if its flown higher then 7 there should be a difference. DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer:
Pilotasso Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 flat turns, how cute happens when it's a cloudy day. .
RaceFuel85 Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Looks like the video has been sped up... Yep... Between 0:04 and 0:09 it's been accelerated. You can tell because if the aircraft was moving as fast as it's trying to show..the clouds movement and camera shake would be constant. As it is the footage suddenly speeds up, as does the background movement and camera shake for those 5 seconds.

mvsgas Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 As a Canadian I don't know how to feel about this jet. It seems like its gonna be a great fighter, but at the same time it has numerous problems. All aircraft have problems, specially when in development. F-22 computer crashing when the pass the international date line. F-16, F-117, etc. where all grounded at one time or another for different reasons. The only difference we tend not to hear anything about it. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.
