Is that the fuel consumption rate???
yes
in kg/s for both engines at once, not a single engine

Funnily enough I also had a new nickname in mind lmao
With this pfp I’ve officialy become @Panther2995
Ohh makes a lot more sense now.
I remember you
You showed me how to BVR lol

rd33 - 15 kg/s
al31f - 20kg/s
su27 already has much worse acceleration and turn capabilities, with mig29 thurst the TWR of empty will be 1 at full AB, well done

The SU-27 turns better especially at low speed
the cope is strong with this one
just becasue you change the unit of time and round the numbers to be more favourable for your argument dosent change that the Al-31 produces 1.5 times the thrust while only burning 1.3 times the fuel
I really don’t get his argument, why go after comparative fuel consumption?
The flanker holds so much more fuel anyways that it doesn’t even matter.

the flanker also has a lower specific fuel consumption
while having more thrust, making it overall more efficent

Yes but MiG-29 is clearly superior.
They flew a MiG-29 to Alpha Halo to single handedly defeat the covenant. It’s capable of slip space travel due to its less powerful engines burning fuel less efficiently.

depends of engine mode and fuel load
at normal (not war mode)
Mz of Su27 at low fuel mass will be more, but TWR and more Cl of mig29 at high reynolds number (1000-3000m) allows advantage over su27 at speeds >700kmh, when su27 has slighty advantage in range 400-600kmh in sustained turn
but in forced turns mig has no 8g limit and reach more AOA faster
in war engine mode mig has same low speed sustained turn perfomance as su27, but mig can pull 9g at much lower speeds, when su27 with increased thrust will be blocked by strength limit, theres even a slight advantage of mig29a over mig29m, because it has probably the strongest airframe
Yooo
I heard that the MiG-29 created the universe when it tried to pull its max instantaneous turn rate.
It turned so hard that it turned inside its own turning circle and created the black hole sagittarius, at the center of our universe the Milky Way lies a MiG-29
The SU-27 has a higher coefficient of lift.
The SU-27 has a much higher instantaneous G capability at any given speed.
At 500 kph IAS (.4 Mach sea level)
MiG-29 pulls 5G
Flanker pulls 6G
you are not understand what this chart means
keep insulting ppl it shows how right you are
Su-27
Mig-29
flanker can sustain 9Gs at 775kph at 1000m alt
Mig-29 sustains 9Gs at ~850kph at 1000m alt
flanker can sustain 2.5Gs at 300kph at 1000m alt
the Mig-29 can sustain sustain 2Gs 300kph at 1000m alt
flanker can pull 8Gs ITR at mach 0.5
the Mig-29 can pull 7Gs ITR at mach 0.5

this is not showing the Cl
data is also wrong
no, it cant. flanker max g load with 20000 mass is 8.55g
this curve is fantasy
idk the mass there, probably 20000
with mass 19000kg it will sustain 9g at 816kmh,
851 kmh in normal mode and 821kmh in war mode
and this is all calculated graphs for both, the real mig can sustain 9g at lower speeds
as i said su27 has slighty advantage at this speed range, it has more Mz but mig still have smaller turn radius because it has more TWR
