Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Ohhh ty for the clarification:D

Aside the obvious lack thereof thrust, there is also lack of acceleration which has been reported and subsequently flown under the radar for some time.

same thing happens on F14 im pretty sure i just cant find numbers for it

yeah found them this is tomcat in game it seems
“I did calculations the Channel loss is 25.3% 3,470 KGF is loss in game right now i dont think Channel loss is that high since F14 engine inlet is a straight shot”
i think its a shadow nerf or something they do to planes

As ive already said:
The uneven mixing of air would only happen when the “gills” (upper intakes) are opens - wich only happens on Ground or at high AOA.

Meanwhile the F14s uper intake openings are always open wich would explain why it has this phenomena modelled.

the MiG-29s shouldnt have this presn

intakes move for better flow at certain speeds

the pre-compression through the intake doors only accours at speeds exceeding Mach 1

And as you mightve noticed - thats for engine effeciency and wont introduce ineffeciencies.
(or differential airflow for that matter - the topic this is about)

Su-57 engines are what?

25% seems excessive

Look at the right engine then tell me again.

What about the right engine? you mean in the engine in which less than 4 dozen units exist, specifically dedicated towards pre-serie testing of the aircraft before AL-51F-1 reaches the frame?

And how many su-57 does have new engines with new nozzle design?
