This chart is based on what exactly now
Seems like you pulled it from thin air
It’s based on math. The numbers represent calculated negative SEP at 18 degrees for 60 degree nozzle deflection or 15 degree nozzle deflection.
Now answer the question.
It’s really not and to answer your question from earlier
Even the FA.2 weighs 13,000 - 13,500 lbs operationally dry
The AV-8B NA is at 16,500 dry
Lmao
So tell me how can the harrier at those bleed rates
Perform 90 degrees of turn and only lose 100 knots
You don’t know how to read bleed rates do you? What do you think the numbers show?
dang, wiki says 13,900 empty for the AV-8B. are you sure they use the same standard for dry?
Did you do feet per sec what value
Could be Kn/s
Literally scroll up and read.
Yes
The harrier 2 doesn’t fly around with no pylons or guns
The pylons alone weight over 3,000 pound on that fat ass
Truly American
And they are draggy
thats what makes it so much heavier?
In comparison the pylons on the harrier 1 haves peaky edge profiles designed to make them as drag less as possible
Yes
Looks like the datapoints are getting even worse when you correct the CL curve for higher mach number. Truly an abysmal plane.
Almost like you used harrier 2 data to try chart the harrier 1
Truly wise
do radar harrier II’s use those same type of pylons with air to air fits
Except I didn’t. Next question.
Yes?
It’s the same wing and pylon regardless
how much does sea harrier fa2 weight with all those pylons attached?
Lmao
Well wrong AOA if your comparing it to the irl aircraft but that’s ok as you believe the lift is correct
I told you the FA.2 the fatest harrier 1 is at 13,500
(The engine is pushing out something like 19,000 lbs force using just the combat rating)
Much higher TWR yet much lower drag = better performance
