Banzaiib Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I know it varies by weight, but lets assume 2 sidewinders only, 1000 ft. elevation, and 8000 lbs of fuel. What would be the best sustained turn speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banzaiib Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thank you for the graph! That's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like around 300 kts (indicated) is the sweet spot when loaded with AIM-7's and 9's at 10,000 ft. At sea level, that's about 360kts indicated. I now have better targeted air speeds for dogfight training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
