F-22 is far from a light airframe
“Lighter” not light I was highlighting the benefits of 2D TV because the F-22’s airframe allow it to be very effective.
Yeah it does help the F-22, but what exactly is the F-22 lighter than?
Su-35 and Su-57 which have 3D thrust
Edit nevermind the F-22 is really freaking heavy
F-22 is heavier than both
Yeah I just realized that. Idk why the 2D works so well on it then.
Because its about wingloading ratio and the f22 has a good one like the su30sm and the su30 also is a littel way to heavy and produces 4tonns less thrust than rl
The problem all the Flankers currently have is too much drag and not enough lift

So that’s a good thing then? All the missiles being center mass with a ton of thrust.
Umm. No not really. Maybe su30sm2 with al41s.
isnt wingloading ratio just the weight/wing area for the jet?
