The F-35 will be able match most of the same high AOA manoeuvres as the Raptor, although it will not be able to do so as quickly as the more powerful jet in some cases. Turning at the higher Gs and higher speed portions of the flight envelope, the F-35 will “almost exactly match a clean Block 50 F-16 and comes very close to the Raptor”, Beesley said.

the four current test pilots for F-35 have been most impressed by the aircraft’s thrust and acceleration. In the subsonic flight regime, the F-35 very nearly matches the performance of its’ larger, more powerful cousin, the F-22 Raptor, Beesley explained. The “subsonic acceleration is about as good as a clean Block 50 F-16 or a Raptor- which is about as good as you can get.” Beesley said.

it doesnt sound too bad,
plus the toys, with statements like,
With [distributed aperture system], maneuverability is irrelevant. Instead of mutual kills, the F-35 simply exits the fight, and lets its missiles do the turning.

By now, you should have noticed that i am not exactly an ignorant and that normaly i am prepared to back up what i write.
About this specific point you can find the relevant information in December DTI, page 43 in an article called “Double Vision” by Bill Sweetman (ps- what was the part of “triangulation” and “dinamic ranging” that you didnt understood?).

Another thing, in your post (169) at 13:58 you have answered a question about the Typhoons IRST with a standard procedure of the Dassault Rafale, there´s no Laser telemeter in Pirate, but there´s one in the OSF.

– No, normaly i dont need to go to “air defense net” or to “Avions militaires” to learn something about a program that i have been following for almost three decades. But i do go there to learn about French programs.

yes i was mistaken, i thought pirate also had a laser range finder. my bad
ok, they get range etc normally from a radar/sar overlay ?

wvr the pirate as i said possibly by its self but i think it will be better with using with hms as a combination

for full bvr, i need to read up on it, its a big task with lots of variables did they give any indication what range is feasable
how is the pirate hooked into navigation to give a decent bearing to triangulate with other platforms or does that need help with radar
i’m unsure how the tracking works

you dont have to answer the questions, its more what i need to find out
i dont mind getting my butt kicked and shown where im wrong

Doesn’t matter. He won’t be believed anyway…

😉

like the trolls here, no i dont believe it because i didnt see it :diablo:
besides its obvious you are lying, sweetman told me the f-35 is washed up and finished, just the scrap value left
it may have taken off, but i bet it didnt land

So in the end you’ve actually talked yourself round to agreeing with the original comment that the aesa radar isn’t the primary jammer…:rolleyes:

no, onboard the aesa is the primary jammer, but not the only jammer
as well as the aesa the fa-18 uses a AN/ALQ-214 and a towed decoy
but instead why dont you go and read up about it, then come back and slam me with your facts

Again, what?

My comment stated that i didn’t agree with sferrins assertation, then went on to point out that as a tool to support the “aesa can be used as the sole a2a ecm” his assertation works very well.
You then come back telling me about aesa jammers and something about not just ecm?
Yes, we all know aesa jammers exist, as somebody else said they probably rock, so what?
Do you actually have comprehension problems?

i was addressing the total synopsis but focused on your

That is bunk.
It neatly supports the aesa radars can be the only ecm arguement tho…:rolleyes:;)

to make the point that in the battle space the aesa wouldnt be the only ecm, as well as onboard the current fighters are jammers, there are also the offboard ones as detailed in the post

It’s called MALD-J and is made by Raytheon.

thats it, i’ve got eggtimers disease, i forget everything after 2 minutes 🙁

the XF-92 did 44° back in the beginning of the 1950’s (and there was no FCS to control the thing, it’s purely aerodynamic control), so one may say the deltas do quite well at high AoA (actually better than classic configurations)

anyway, and again, an F-35 that does 50°+ AoA in anything else than a straight line, I’d be curious to see that (and I bet I’m not the only one)

i’ll jusr copy paste my posts to you
again who said it did, i made no such claim of the f-35 or fa-18 which both have 55, like it or not
the nassa f-18 was just to show a moded platform that had 70 like the f-22
i found it interesting if you didnt
as to straight line, true and the same applies to deltas at 30

i’ll go and google the XF-92, sounds sweet
