lunaticfringe Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 He stated a a max roll rate, which is achieved at a particular altitude and then continued to say that it will drop to around 20 deg at slow speeds. If he meant it as you say - as overall highest and lowest regardless of altitude, then the wording is misleading. Not misleading at all, because he's discussing the entirety of the MiG-29's performance envelope. It's like you're mad he's in the middle of a conversation using layman's language, instead of pulling out a slide rule and protractor to give exact measurements and timing for various performance statistics. The quote is confirmed by the chart and the loss rate at 16k. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmptohocah Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Here you go: https://youtu.be/7HOLONP0Td4?t=2m2s I've timed the 180 deg roll and it took around 2 sec, which makes it around 90 deg/sec roll and this is not assuming the pilot was doing max-roll rate. So it's at least 90 deg/sec. I have no idea what the IAS was but I am guessing it was between 500 and 700km/h as these speeds (to my knowledge) are most commonly used for these kind of maneuvers.
