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

My brain cannot handle you not looking like your pfp. It simply cannot. You are a different person now

then prove them wrong instead of insulting me

you still are arguing about a point that i have adressed in my very first message

i wont, im not interested

thanks for admitting that you are wrong

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.
