As I said earlier also, the Rafale too see an increased in fuel fraction regarding its earlier gen sibling, the Mirage 2000.

[USER=”69236″]EC 5/25 Corsair[/USER] : the poor choice stands in the imperative form…

@EC 5/25 Corsair : yes, “what the hell?“…. Why isn’t the Pirate’s AoA increase beyond 25° being plotted on your Wiki curve… Oh, wait 😉

The inlet duct section profile looks so much like the ones on the Rafale. I wonder if they had some shared work with Dassault there. Also, the depth of the WB cutout is remarkable. That would call for a lot of bracing in traditional manufacturing tech. I guess that the traversing wing carry through box will take all the load with a composite structure.

Per defintion, Alpha is when you are still…in flight. Super maneuverability refers to post stall maneuvering, a domain where wings doesn’t provide any lift… hence where there is no Alpha. 😉

High alpha pitch up or high beta out of path slides are perfectly recoverable maneuvers that allows you to cut the corner of a turn, a spiral and/or get a shot at an opponent without overloading your plane or blacking out (there is nearly no extra G inside the Alpha [beta] pitch [yaw] rate gain.

Like I said already, it’s like having a long journey inside a Cadillac following a Citroen 2cv. Only one will cry Mama…

Typical Denial behavior. This place have been a Schoolyard for so many years (see the thread tittle)…

Dirke Hoke, head of Airbus Defence and Space:

“I consider it extremely dangerous to develop a system like FCAS (the Franco-German fighter programme) without the British,” he said, noting that potential order quantities would rise if Britain participated, making future aircraft more competitive.

That’s why you have Alpha. And no, it’s not a Marvel action hero.

We have also shown before in those pages* that the G limit in the HUD is 10 beyond what the G meter freeze. Either it is the manifestation of a FBW limitation (would seem logical) either the HUD symbol can’t be incremented beyond that number (not logical). So way above would logically be… 10. Something already a pain to watch.

In this video, I haven’t seen the G limit pass 9.8
The Alpha also is capped around 25 in this demo
There is also l’Effet boîte à Meuh manifesting itself during rolls excursion.
The AoA indicator (gear down) showing up at 30deg
The fuel fraction is minimal with a low fuel indication popping up at the third of the video and Bingo status at two-third.
