For an english project, please say you favourite fighter.
It dosen't matter if your favourite is not there, just pick your favourite from the bunch below. They are evenly balanced. I could not ask my class mates as they would not have a clue:%:]
Please only vote once and before 29th Nov.

I like the F-16 ...
-
The Fighting Falcon (F-16) no question it a good aircraft. But in my case I was torn between the Tomcat (F-14) or the Fulcrum (Mig-29). Have to admit I have always thought the Tomcat was a cool plane. Guess there still a bit of "TOPGUN" left in me. So my vote goes to the Tomcat
-
The F-16 is my best, it is by far the best looking and it is also the Loudest:8
-
The F-16 looks darn cool! :P

Nadeem, please do not send messages here. It is supposed to be for members of EuroHarmony.
For those of you wondering who Nadeem is, he is a friend from my street. I am teaching his FS and I showed him EHM.

I think I need more people to vote to make my reasearch more reliable. Please vote if you have not voted
Much appreciated;)

Hey Razza, what is that project we are working for ;)
But say...how could we compare a NAVY and an USAF fighter? I love the F-16 and the Tomcat too, but they have a different task.
-
Its just a peoples favourite fighter project about which one you think looks nicer or is your favourite. by the way, i will collect results at 0700 GMT
-
Looks like the F-16 is dominent! ;) and interestingly no one seems to like the Su-27 :]
-
It is also interesting, that the Mig-29 was more likely enemy for the F-14s and not the F-16s...but it should be in the opposite way, as the Su-27 has a NAVY variant, so it should face more time with the Tomcats ;D Anyway, the Su-27 is a very good aircraft, but I think it appeared too late (at the end of cold war) on the sky to be popular.
Nowadays the Su-27 is one of the best fighters, or probably the best. One of its variants (the Su-35 ???) is the only aircraft that can make the lethal manouver "Cobra" because of its variable angle thrust turners.
-
I seen an SU 27 at the sunderland airshow and it was doing a tailsilde. It went up vericaly, and then droped back down towards the ground through its on smoke trail, still pointing upwards, incredible:D

Than look at this one ;)

Yippe !!! It looks awesome! Much better than Maverick did with the Tomcat in the TOP GUN movie!
-
One word to reply to that..... WOW
-
That's amazing!!! :o
-
Thinking about it......is it actually possible....and if so is there a pilot insane engough to try it??
-
I have been thinking about that myself. I'm not sure about the answer to the first one. I think the answer to last question is yes. It wouldn't surprise me if there where a pilot somewhere insane enought to do it.
-
You think it was possible with a real airliner plane?
It is impossible! The main thing in the manouver is the variable thrust turner. It rotates the jet blast like the Harrier JumpJet do. As I know the end segment of engine (the thrust guide) can be turned upward and downward about +/-30 degrees. When the plane do the Cobra, the turner rotates the thrust downward, to help keep the plane on the air, and slow it down. Then turns upward to roll it back horizontal and accelerate again.
-
Robert beat me to the answer and said all that i had to say :P
-
Haha, yeah the Su27 will always kick the F16's ass in manoeuvering, vectorial thrust is the answer ! The cobra is of no use in actual combat though.
(a looong time ago I was an online squadron leader on www.checksix-fr.com under Flanker 2. With Lock On you can compare east block and west block fighters... Very interresting, one side lots of avionics, on the other old school simplicity, but it works. Oh and try landing a su27 on a carrier at night, the HUD horizon is.... argh, it's the opposite of what we are all used to use)
Ok, just look at this, experimental NASA plane to study vectorial thrust, look at the mangoose manoeuver ;D
Looks like stalling isn't a problem anymore, this one can do anything even stalled :o
