captain_dalan Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hey ya all! A quick blitz search didn't give me a similar topic, so i'll try to post this here. If mistaken, please merge. I'm going through the Russian Su-27 flight manual for several days now. Russian isn't my native language, but it's still a Slavic language, so with a good online dictionary and google translate i somehow manage :thumbup: I came to the performance data and this is where my question originates. The full power chart states that it's plotted for a configuration or 2XR-27's, 2XR-73's and 50% of a "normal" fuel state. What does a normal fuel state mean for a Flanker? I get the notion it isn't a full internal fuel tank, as i think it would have been worded differently. Cheers all and have a good weekend!

Clear skies and safe flying :pilotfly: "Normal" fuel state is IIRC tanks 1 & 4, so 60% of maximum fuel, which is 5,640 Kg. The E-M diagrams and the maximum G as a function of mach diagrams for the Su-27 are all set for an all-up weight of 21,400 Kg which equates to a full gun pad, full expendables, 2 x R-73, 2 x R-27R and 32.5% of maximum fuel.
