Top Speed - Very rarely are fighters like the F-16/F-18 operating close to their max speed. Max speed of the F-16XL would most likely be lower than the F-16. Maneuverability at high speeds (Supersonic) is not very important since the speed will all fighters have their sustained corner velocity well below that and therefore will drop to that speed ...

Hi What is the URL of your site ?

Top speed - F/A-18E/F maneuverability - F/A-18E/F Range - F-16XL (guesswork) payload - Don't know the payload of the F-18, but the F-16XL was capable of carrying twice the payload of the F-16, 40% further. payload diversity - Depends on what they are willing to make it capable of carrying. Avionics - Again depends on what they put in it. If it ...

Thousands of unarmed Iraqi men, partially dressed in civilian clothing, ...

Not to be mean, but I find it kind of sad if your instructors couldn't explain that to you :) You probably know that when an aircraft stalls it is because the angle of attack becomes so high that the airflow starts to separate from the top of the wing and the wing is stalling. When pulling negative G's, you will have negative angle of attack and ...
