LSP_K2 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 World class gorgeous. And no, I'm not showing favoritism because they were built just a couple of miles from here,... well, maybe just a little. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Boillot Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I'd argue that this Vokes filter does not do any good to the looks of the Spitfire Hubert Edited March 30, 2017 by MostlyRacers mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Not a big fan of the Tiger or the Vigilante, but that Su-15 sure does look sweet. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Boillot Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I noticed that the fins (and rudders) of later jets like the Pak-Fa, the Chinese J-20 or the F-35 are significantly smaller than on earlier jets (like the F-22, the Typhoon 2, the Rafale, or the CF-105 above). Has something been found that enhances lateral stability of modern jets, and prevents Dutch roll, besides computer-controlled flying ?

xmh53wrench Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I just am crazy about this photo. I really dig the contrast between all the polished bare aluminum and the silver painted wings. Though probably not indicative of a wartime bird's finish, I still believe the contrast really makes a statement of how the BMF Mustangs​ must have looked. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I noticed that the fins (and rudders) of later jets like the Pak-Fa, the Chinese J-20 or the F-35 are significantly smaller than on earlier jets (like the F-22, the Typhoon 2, the Rafale, or the CF-105 above). Has something been found that enhances lateral stability of modern jets, and prevents Dutch roll, besides computer-controlled flying ? Hubert I am no expert but I think big rudders are need for control at high angle of attack. Two are less blanked by the fuselage and can be made smaller (see boeing/saabs T-X). The Pak-Fa uses its, 3d nozzles to reduce them further in size. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Martin, you are trolling. At least mpk can blame it on the drugs (Aermacchi MB-326!?) mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
