GGTharos Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Don't ask me, do a bit of research. IIRC the F-15 and Raptor were being screamed against - so was the F-14.

mvsgas Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Have there been any live fire test yet? Don't remember seeing any. I don't think we will see live fire test anytime soon. First the have to demonstrate all systems work as planed. Then the have to test aircraft parameters and also test weapons separation, drag factors etc before we see a live fire excessive, if we get to see it. Then again, I'm just guessing so we might see one tomorrow :D To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Avilator Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Guy said on the throttle: "Push forward -you go down, pull back - you go up" I thought it's other way 'round?!! He said "with his right hand, on the stick." He didn't talk about the throttle controlling height. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

GGTharos Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 In general it will drive more explosive devices farther, faster, and more accurately and safely than the harrier, and by a wide margin. Think of it as a tradeoff of payload for range, Harrier needed external tanks for range (so limited weapons) whereas the F-35 can take the same or greater amount of weapons + air to air farther and faster.

topol-m Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Are both aircraft capable of VTOL with max payload/fuel? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I doubt it. MTOW for the F-35 is greater than its VTOL capability, so you'd be looking at VSTOL. Same for the harrier I think.

topol-m Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Then it will be interesting to see what`s the limit weapons+fuel to perform vertical landing. At least it should be able to do it with internal bays full and not having to jettison weapons :huh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
