*** Posted by TIGER *** Hi Rapier I have on my hard disk MIG29vsF16 comparision. My opinion about these aircraft. 1. F16 has a limit of AoA of 25' MIG29 - 45' AoA 2. F16 has a better all around visibility. 3. MIG29 has a HMS (helmet mounted sight) which is VERY DANGEROUS for F16. 4. At slow airspeeds the MIG29 is better. 5. At higher ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier You escaped the first missile by blacking out. What about the second? In the real life you can face more than 1 missile an you must be prepared for this. TIGER] Hi Tiger, I would have to rely on the ECM, but I may be killed even before I wake up. But that's like saying what will you do if several SAM's are ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier First of all the SU27 Flanker it's not a thrust vectoring machine. The thrust vect. system was introduced to SU37. And about Cobra maneuver: 1. Cobra maneuver: It was first performed by the russian pilot Pugaciov. Second the SU27 don't uses thrust vect. system. At speeds between 400-500 km/h the pilot ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier The risks by taking more than 9.5 Gs in an aircraft are more than the risks of avoiding a missile by actual parameters. You need to have good energy. At high Gs you waste a lot of energy. ] Hi Tiger, Are you talking about potential blackout? because if I was flying a real F-16 I would try and train my ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier You don't have to pull 9Gs to achieve the best turn rate. It should be remembered that the SU27, that I am very familiar with, can achieve the best turn rate 22' per second at a speed between 650-700 pulling just 6 Gs. So if you can in F4 to pull 7Gs for 19' per second at a constant speed why don't you do that?

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier In real life you use no more than 9.5 Gs. Run can confirm you that. Only russians uses to avoid a missile more than 9Gs. But that is not a good solution. At more than 9Gs the plane can enter in a very bad sit. and you are dead already, you loose to much speed I mean energy (turn rate) , you can be ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier You are right about AoA but you should know that the range from 29-32 it was designed to show the AoA in an uncontroled flight so that you know you are in a deep stall. You should also know when you design an indicator you must let a little range for safety. A car with an indicator at 220 km/h the max speed ...
