I have to applaud to djcross who is the only guy here who brought up an reasonable explanation, in contrast to the usual suspects who just come up with “it is so believe me”. Another advantage for the tail plane might be that you can hide it to a certain extend behind the wing, that’s the reason you see the tail planes on the F-22 or PAK FA being directly in line with the wings. At the end of the day all surfaces produce reflections, even more so moveable ones, whether these are canards or tail planes doesn’t matter. The question is to what extend they reflect the signals. The fewer control surfaces, the better.
you need to add the controlability to a st andrews cross tail design, some seem just to think its for rcs reduction
the track is how funny fanboys are about the rafale, who cant seem to accept even the released data about their favorite plane, to the point that they will block anyone not drinking the kool-aid whilst chanting, i cant hear you, i cant hear you
still bitter about the phoon being rejected, its becoming an obsession for you
2 planes in 2010, 2012 was the significant date of 14 planes and i havent read they were going to be IOC then either
i think then you need to look at the difference of wing designs, some bleed more energy at high aoa
“”Once cancelling the normal restriction of FBWs, Rafale’s AoA could reach more than 100 degrees. “”
we are talking controlled sustainable aoa, which 100 deg certainly isnt in any plane
Sadly snafu you have now proved to me that you are not here to truly debate and exchange information for the benefit of all but merely to engage in some sort of self gratification exercise
or you would put up a link showing my error
the phoon has a reported max of mack 2, so it cant run down a f-111 anyway
as i said in a post above
then why are planes getting slower instead of faster, the f-15 could do mach2.5 30 yrs ago, the MiG25A mach 2.8
no, i was pointing out that a respected rafale poster said the fa-18 has a higher aoa
the links i posted are my claim
As far as fighters go, i concider a higher speed then the attack aircraft they are suppose to run down the REQUIREMENT on any new fighter.
And as such, F-35 doesn’t cut it.
then why are planes getting slower instead of faster, the f-15 could do mach2.5 30 yrs ago, the MiG25A mach 2.8
the links are on the last page or the page before on aoa and i said the rafale has a faster roll rate per sec
my plane better than yours ? no, that isnt my game and is repeated in my signature
i’m not making a specific claim or i would link it
i’m suggesting you read google for the info thats there, here’s a start for you
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=exhaust+rcs&btnG=Search&meta=&cts=1269869358617&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

some of you guys crack me up
why ? you wouldnt read it and its obvious you havent already googled it on several planes
google will tell you if you want
actually, any radar pointing at the rear side of the fighter will have it’s emissions bouncing inside the nozzle and back out…
with the temperature of the emission gases, you’ll have hard time putting any ram coating on the inner sides of the nozzle, not to speak about rear turbines, etc…
time for you to get onto google for a read, there is enough public info out there
didnt you see the pictures posted here in the last few days of usa canards flying, let alone designs
yep, its like an onion in layers, the core codes arent given, but enough code to give sovereignty, frankly i wouldnt want every buyer getting the core code, too big of a security risk
