On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

@Uselessnoobcow Жыл бұрын

@@toxickilljoy9037 that doesn’t sound right? Standard CASE I procedure is to have the wings all the way back and extend them in the break, in the break you pull up to ~3.5gs. The wing actuation must have been at least rated for this much g loading, likely more as auto mode would force wings forward as Mach number decreased which is likely to occur in a dogfight. There’s a reason Grumman was known as Grumman Ironworks

@toxickilljoy9037 Жыл бұрын

@@Uselessnoobcow I'm not sure what you mean? Like yes they're definitely gonna handle the G because it's a vital structural part you can't have ripping off in a critical phase of flight, but that doesn't mean they like doing high G pulls and can do so with 0 regard to maintenance or future structural failure. At 0g everything is floaty and the only stress or inertia anything has is from a direct force, which will help to some degree whether or not it's a pneumatic or a mechanical actuation lol its just physics. Hard to actuate against wind and 3.5+g, easier against wind and 1g, easier still at 0. The thing is, would bunting over to sweep your wings be practical? No, it's pretty pointless. But it's a keynote that actuators perform better unloaded, which is what I was trying to get at lol that actual tip is regarding roll rate which is why it may not sound right, but hey dudes. Actuators are actuators lol

I grew up in in Calverton, NY. You may know that was where one of Grumman’s largest production/test facilities was until the mid 90’s. I use to get buzzed by F-14’s and A-6’s while riding my bike on farm roads. Well, my neighbor was a Grumman engineer, between the picnic and a facility tour, I saw the F-14 D Super Tomcat. I was young and don’t know much about it but I’m under the impression that it came with more of an F/A concept and had some of the A-6’s radar jamming technology. It is a true shame that it never went into full production. The retirement of the F-14 is probably what shut down that plant and hit our area hard economically.

One thing I notice consistently in GS videos is in 1v1 on the merge he’s already rolled for his turn and starts pulling as they cross - conversely it looks like his opponents usually wait to roll and then pull. It’s not a huge difference, but 5:47 is a good example. He’s already making his turn before the F-14 has initiated. Every tiny bit counts in these kind of fights.

9:56 From what I understand of the "upgraded Tomcat vs upgraded Hornet" debate that was going on in the 90's, the navy was looking at the two planes and saying "we can either have a perfect plane when it's ready but will cost a fortune to build, operate, and maintain; or one that will be good enough for what we need and we can get in the required numbers." Considering the the state of the USN air arm's financial situation at the time it's little wonder they decided to go with the less risky latter option. (It's a gross oversimplification of what happened, but it paints a decent picture.) It's my impression that had they gone ahead with the ST-21 in leu of the Super Hornet, they'd be in the same boat the Raptor is today (a magnificent airplane, that has all the financial and logistical issues of a short production run two decades later).

@IrritationX Жыл бұрын

Super-Tomcats would've had AESA radar, carbon composite skin instead of metal (which would've reduced weight, increased thrust-to-weight ratio, and reduced radar cross-section), had more powerful engines, and increased Leading-Edge Root Extensions which would've improved high-alpha characteristics. The Super-Tomcat would've been a bigger improvement over the original Tomcat than the Super Hornet was over the legacy Hornet.

9:24 - *_"No aircraft does well with just one wing..."_* Coincidently. There was once a story about an USAF pilot flying what i think was an F-15E during Operation Desert Storm that suffered a mid air collision with a MIG-29 that it was dog fighting with at quite high speed. Not quite sure what happened but they either tried to head-on each other or got too close but either way, one of the F-15's wings got sheered clean off at the root by the MIG... Naturally, The F-15 went into a spin after losing its wing, but somehow the pilot managed to straighten it out *AND* fly the plane back to base with no problem at all. Now there are some conflicting reports (Chinese Whispers if you will) saying that the pilot hadn't known that their wing was missing until they had landed. -- I dont know ANYTHING about that but im sure the pilot would have known their aircraft wasnt quite 100% after the close encounter. I think some nerds at McDonnell Douglas took the plane and did some investigating and their theory was both the pilot and plane survived because the pilot had the plane throttled up at the right speed where the fuselage also acted as a wing to generate lift and so long as the pilot kept the plane at a certain speed. The plane was able to overcome any excess drag and loss of lift to make the flight home. ------- Ive heard other stories but they were in relation to A-10's or date back to WWII and im not sure if the WWII stories are legit or not but i think the wingless F-15 has been covered by a few channels on YT already.

I saw that the Air Force’s F-15C beat the Navy’s F-18 in competition, boy was I so glad to hear that lol 😆

actually i’ve found that the f-15 works better with no wings than with one, it’s actually somewhat flyable if both wings come off. it’s very wobbly though

Nice demonstration of my hypothesis: dog fighting is required because the ordinance only comes out of the front side. Put on something that can fire out 360 around, no more dog fight needed.

Damn, a draw. Not sure if I've seen that in one of your vids before. Especially not when someone else was flying the Tomcat!!!

Don't forget that the A-10 was able to fly home with one wing as well!

PLEASE, do more videos with Gripen, its such an interesting aircraft and many countries have it as their main fighter jet - would be interesting to see how it would hold its own aggainst different threats
