Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

Your Russian friends have misinterpreted a few dive recovery charts in order to attempt to artificially buff lift.

Flanker is a prime example
This is the lift of the flanker at its 25 degrees AOA limit this is its final value

This is a dive recovery and slant angle chart for the AV-8A and I can promise you it doesn’t pull 7G at 250 knots.

But I don’t get why you think max is 24 aoa when it says 26 aoa multiple times, and that it only goes lower when at more weight/speed

I didn’t say it was the ultimate limit

Just max lift AOA and was the limit in the chart I shared

Could be different fulcrum variants but 24-26 degrees AOA is the peak of the coefficient of lift curve

The above chart was for German 9.12a.
I assume that chart is for Russian 9.12?

Most likely

*At least the IRST it have in game.

Maybe something like one on MiG-23 and MiG-25 could fit (not best view, but it is something)

Yeha it says it aoa stability remains constant until 26 degrees. But SAS limits it to 24.
See how chart goes up till 26

More or less in line with the turn rate chart

Depends, because the prototype with radar and fcs (the one that crashed) had a control duct directly under the nose.

Also German manual gives graph with 26 aoa as max.
Maybe the Russian manual is just old id bet when restrictions were 24 degrees and not 26 degrees

Make sure it’s 9.12A and not 9.12

Yes it’s not going to make a tremendous difference in lift nonetheless however

I dont answer absurd questions.

max lift AOA will be much higher.

this chart is shit, source contain fake data

source

aoa stability depends of plane serial number
9.13s has 28 aoa sas limit

Lmao ok cope man, it’s literally a Russian document

It’s literally not. That’s not how aerodynamics works.

The F-18 reaches its max lift coefficient at 34 degrees AOA after that it falls and it will achieve less G after that critical aoa.

Both the fulcrum and the hornet can easily exceed 34 degrees AOA but they will be pointing into a different direction however the flight path will still be forward.

I don’t think that’s how the radars on these planes work, I’m pretty sure it’s just TFR an maybe SAR

in movie
maybe
it will flat spin at 27-28 with this v angle fins

mig29 has bigger Cy then su27, your compare with shit f18 aerodynamic is a rofl, it has no high aoa capability

f18 - yes, right to ground
mig29 can keep flight up to 40 deg

Lmao

I’m done talking to you for today. You’re clearly a joke.

9G at .55 Mach

This lines up with the other chart also with only 25% fuel

I lied it’s 25.5 percent fuel ur right
