@gmcjetpilot5 жыл бұрын
@@2hedz77 1:56 Google Christian inverted oil system, look at images. Instead of just having one oil pickup in the bottom of the engine that feeds the oil pump, which provides lubricating oil to the engine, it adds a second pick up, to the top of the engine. When you fly "negative G's" (being thrown out of seat), oil goes to the top of the engine. A flip flop tube (reacts to gravity) diverts the oil pump pickup source from bottom of engine, to the top of the engine, so the oil pump has a constant supply of oil. Airplane goes right side up (positive G's), the flip flop tube flips back to select the bottom pickup. There is also an air oil separator that keeps the engine vent from burping oil overboard while allowing crank case gases to vent. Pressure would build in crankcase without a vent. Reason some compression gases blow by pistons into crank case. Without this separator you would lose all oil eventually. You probably know this, but you can be upside down and still be pulling positive G's where the oil is in the bottom of the engine. That's like at the top of the loop you have centrifical Force still providing positive G's, even if you're upside down with one G gravity. However whenever you have negative G's, say your inverted and level, then the oil pickup flips to the top of the engine, which is now at the bottom (where all the oil is).

0:40 It's probably worth noting that a symmetrical airfoil design is not a requirement for inverted flight, it simply increases the effectiveness of the wing in the downwards direction. However, a symmetrical airfoil is less efficient in level flight, which is why most aircraft designs have cambered airfoils.

@@marcusm5127 Right... but that' doesn't quite capture the reason I'm so amazed. The Wright Brothers' "Wright Flyer" performed the world's first powered sustained flight in december 1903. The designs for the Supermarine Spitfire and Curtiss P-40 Warhawk were designed in the 1931-1936 period, so around 30 years after that first flight. If you look at the design of those airplanes and compare them to the current Red Bull planes, you will see there is hardly any difference. So, in around 30 years, they came to a design that in the following 80 years - the era of the information revolution - hardly needed to change to come to an affordable, reliable and manueverable airplane. Let's all take a moment and thank people like R.J. Mitchell and Don R. Berlin.

Flankers are built to withstand 15Gs but are usually limited to 9 due to saftey reasons so technically it can pull up faster. The plane wouldn't fall apart, but it would drastically reduce the life expectancy of the airframe without a major overhaul. Another thing Flankers can do is supermanueverability. Flankers have always been able to pull extreme AoA manuevers due to their inherent instability, but newer versions such as the Su-30 and Su-35 are capable of post-stall manuevers because of their engines, which has thrust vector controls. This allows them to control the aircraft even with no airflow over the wings.

The only surprise in this for me was that the wings have a symmetric profile. That would make perfect sense for acrobatic planes that racers are based on, but because the race is primarily upright -specifically the major turns are "upright", there is a big advantage to be had with an asymmetric profile.. You could gain a 20-30% advantage on all the important turns and only lose 20-30% on a small percentage of non-critical maneuvers. I suspect they don't do it because it requires re-certification.
