nobody said that
Literally, thats even better than Enhance Viggen :P
what he concurred is that you dont understand vectors
If you say so at least I understand that pointing the nozzles forward on a harrier does not result in equal acceleration up and forwards.
and again you are the only one who is implying that
Everyone here understands that, no one has claimed otherwise. You are reading what we are saying wrong.
No one is even talking about his mistake. You all arguing about math here instead of discussing the Harrier.
I do not care in the slightest the out come of the vector
I only care about the Acceleration added horizontally and longitudinally
He stated that half of the entire 28,000 pounds would be pushing the plane forwards even though the nozzles were pointing more downwards resulting in the aircraft accelerating equally up and forwards.
Gonna crack the 4k messages with this single argument, pretty sure its 1k messages long now
“I don’t care about colors, i just want to know if the wall is green or red”
You can’t have one without the other.
Nope, he didn’t, he said the the horizontal part would be half of that 28k. YOU are adding that that must mean equal distribution when it does not mean that at all. It means that the lifting part will be even larger than that. You are comparing to a number that doesn’t exist.

In this instance you do
50% of the overall NET (acceleration) thrust at 60 degrees of nozzle is not being pushed backwards and that is that
The nozzles 60 degrees downwards are going to impart more power down then backwards for more upwards acceleration.
so what percentage is 10k of 20k then?
Would be funny to see you as a harrier pilot put the nozzles to 60 degrees expecting to go as fast forward as you are upwards.
It is though.
Because the “NET” you are talking about doesn’t exist. it’s an imaginary number that can’t be calculated against. The “input” and “NET” have the same value. it’s the same number with the same size.
read above that’s you as a harrier pilot
No, because what i’m saying doesn’t result in that.
This is a great example, the total IS NOT 17,300+10,000=27,300 . This is WRONG and cannot be calculated this way. you cannot a+b two vectors.
The total is sqrt(17,300^2 + 10,000^2) = 20,000
one component is 50% and the other is 86.6% of the total
whatever you say feetpics fan
