Harrier 1 Missing lift Boundary across the flight range

The Harrier Gr.3 in game with a gross weight of 16,500 LBS as portrayed on the Statshark graph is missing a whole .05 Mach in lift performance.

You can see on the document from the AV-8A manual for an aircraft of 16,500 lbs that it can hit 1G at .2 Mach, 2G at .3, and 7.5G at .66 mach.

In game Statshark graph 1G is at .25 Mach, 2G at .34 Mach, and 7.5G at .69 Mach. The Harrier 1 across the flight envelope is missing lift.


I would not read too deeply into Statshark for the VTOL planes…it is one are of the program that is still being improved upon.

I just use it as a baseline and it makes pretty and easy to read graphs. I do test all of them in game to make sure they are very close.
