i mean clearly, the jet have 3 independent flight control surfaces so 1 can act as an airbrake, impossible

With the high speed and difficulty with speed bleed, it’s really hard to use the air to ground munitions. This is, incredibly pressing to resolve.

yeah you have to pull to lose speed and pray you dont get put into a death spin

How am I supposed to slow down quickly to avoid exceeding the hilariously low 1458kph structural limit?
from my understanding the M1.8 (750knot) max speed is the operational max speed, definitely not the structural limit.

Mach 1.8 is not 750 knots lol

1.05* by what, I don’t understand how you get that results?

M1.8 is 2220 kph

1.05 x 750 knots = 787 knots, rip speed

i always thought it was an intake limitation not structural

Yeah but that’s clearly a mistake when Mach 1.8 is given

it is because you are right

just to be correct the F3R was standardized in 2013?

isn’t it the same problem the legacy hornet had other than the hornet just being slow lol

i dont see why something like being able to deploy flaps at high speeds wouldnt be a way to do it (if they ofc let you deploy them above like 300kts

2019 lol

2019!?!?!?!??!??!!?!?!??!?!

There are so many ways to do it. They just refuse to, or lack the ability to grasp how to.

It is very complicated to define a precise year for the implementation of a new standard, the planes being updated over time. The Navy would have received its first 3R around 2012 but the Air Force later

Are we really gonna get a Rafale limited to 1480 kph lmao ?

The max speed is in air speed so 750knots IAS
