Belesarius Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 What is the purpose of the leading edge wing notches in 18-19, I wonder? 8 looks like they were really worried about trim drag problems with swinging the wings. I'd bet something to do with airflow/intake design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'd bet something to do with airflow/intake design. Could be, but it looked like that one has concorde-style box inlets, same as the other proposals. SU-47 prototype, and fuselage of a PAK-FA.

Collimatrix Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thrust Vectors Not sure what plane though.. SU-30M demonstrator? SU-37? My flanker variantology is weak. How would you tell the difference between an SU-30M and an SU-37? What even is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamed A Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 My flanker variantology is weak. How would you tell the difference between an SU-30M and an SU-37? What even is the difference? To be honest, I don't remember. I think the difference is very minor and mostly in interior. My friend says it's something after the SU-37 based on its camo, but I have no idea, sorry. (should be worth noting that no Russian service plane has a thrust vector iirc, so don't look for in service Flankers. Check out prototypes/demonstrators) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohamed A Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Does this count? Iraq. M1A2 vs MiG-25. My friend (he's that guy with the camera) said that they were surprised to see it actually looking good after this. Obviously it was ruined, but it looked in OK condition for being run over by a 70 ton tank (I know the official weight of the M1A2 is much lower than that, but they carried more than average loadout there).
