BAe Sea Harrier - Technical data and discussion

oh so the harrier its a DIY jet?
hobbyist make DIY jet engines that are horrible at acceleration, max speed, thrust to weight ratio, and efficency because they are made of garbage, they are impressive for tiny homemade stuff but still homemade ITS NOT A HARRIER

and we are talking originally of a proper jet engine not a DIY project

You’re just scapegoating now and making baseless insults

Simply because you’re precious feet pics is wrong and stupid

Why don’t you keep on topic now

If i’m going to do it ill do it correctly

That means finding sources for all the Lift and drag coefficients and everything else.

Just do the math already. Stop stalling.

The difference here is that I gave you the data mate.

You’re just being dumb now.

STOP STALLING JUST DO THE MATHS goddamn

You gave CL data for a plane in one condition and CD data for a plane in another condition. Are you familiar with the phrase “garbage in garbage out”?

You gave one the Gross thrust of the engine because you didn’t know any better

The pilot ingresses to the target. Egress is departing from the target.
Do you even understand the meanings of the terms you use?

What’s “Sweep aspect ratio”?

How does that work? Harrier having variable AoI?

Indeed, it doesn’t matter if you have plane’s Cd/alpha graphic.

Well, WTRTI returns a tad over 6.6t of net thrust at M.6/SL, for AV8B+.

Actually, it’s not 31, but 1860. How is the SEP defined?
How is combat ceiling defined?

wrong plane wrong throttle setting but ok

You’re stalling. Do the math. Show work.

it was 31 ft/sec

What was? How’s SEP defined?

It can maintain a climb of 31 feet per second at that G load at that altitude for that 1 specific instance in time

What? Again, do you know what SEP is and how is defined and expressed?
How’s Service and Combat ceilings defined? How’s SEP graphic presented in documentation?

Lmao no its not do you know the requirements necessary to make something air transportable.

I saw you delete that

That was me. Last time I checked this was not a topic with arguments about who works where.

My bad

Surely we will get the math…
