Skyracer Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hello what is the cornerspeed of the f16? Is there any charts for this?

kengou Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Around 450 knots below 15,000 ft, I believe.

Steph21 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It doesn't have a true corner velocity, it has a "corner plateau" which is an airspeed range of 330 - 440 KCAS that produces a good turn rate based on available G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely true, but I would suggest that if possible, 440 - 450 is the best airspeed to get to whenever possible, since 9G is going to bleed your airspeed and this will give you the longest time within "corner airspeed plateau" to pull a max rate turn.

With the pilot's current 9G resistance, I wonder if the speed will drop to 330 before the pilot loses consciousness ;) i7-8700K, Z370, 32GB DDR4-3000MHz, RTX 2080 Ti, FSSB R3L, TM Warthog HOTAS, CH Pro pedals, 2x MFD's, Windows 10 Pro, HP Reverb DCS: F-16C, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-15C, AV-8B, M2000C, F-5E, A-10C, AJS-37, Su-27, Su-33, MiG-21bis, MiG-29, Spitfire LF Mk.

Indeed, you'll get max G at 440, and max turn rate at 330 With the pilot's current 9G resistance, I wonder if the speed will drop to 330 before the pilot loses consciousness ;) Depends of altitude :smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
