Panp Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Vortex ring state happens in a hover with little to no forward speed and not with that much forward airspeed. First tail boom strike at 25 and second at 28-29 on that ridge as he tried to pull up causing the tail boom separation.:joystick: The rest was inevitable:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 He's at high altitude, which means less lift, which means he should have climbed higher for the maneuver he performed. That's all there is to it. Small pilot error, with big results. Lets start analyzing.. He came in too fast, probably a show off, and he lost his tail after the initial bump on the ground. I thought he entered vortex ring in the first part where he was directly atop the cameraman.

RvETito Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I've seen it before and I wondered why the need of torpedo-type launch. Now I stopped wonder - the damn thing set the sea on fire! I can imagine what it could do the ship that dares to launch it :D "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 That and it saves a lot of space - vertical launch systems are huge and dangerous. There's a lot that can go wrong with this launch method simply because there's more involved with it, but if something goes wrong it goes wrong somewhere besides on the boat. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostiken Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Silly Russians would have to find their nukes first! (:D) Seriously though, I guess it does make more sense in that regard, I didn't know it was actually a 'regular' submarine-launched missile co-opted into a shipboard role.
