From what I understand, R77 should have less drag at higher speeds, and more drag at transsonic. I don’t see it modelled differently at mach 1 and mach 2 in the files anywhere. I’ve also heard they did the time-to-target range tests with the old lofting, which they then removed, but never compensated the missiles drag for this
This should be the case for lattice fins unless they drag something miraculous out of the filing cabinet. From memory, lattice fins are pretty much on par with planar at low speed, rubbish at transonic, and if you get the speed high enough they start to become better.
That aside, why should Russia get something better over an accurately modeled missile whilst France doesn’t have an even vaguely correctly modeled missile?
Your argument is invalid. If you have to insult people to try and force a point then you are just wrong. I didnt even finish reading what ever you were trying to say. Its sad that people cant have a conversation with out their ego getting hurt and having to result in personal attacks.
Shouldnt the fins also have less drag at higher altitude due to density altitude , so it would mean that they would have to try and get into a fight at higher altitudes? so kinda play it like the Aim-54 but higher?
You mean like every other missile introduces drag in maneuvers? Shocking.
Planar and lattice are, unless you have documentation contrary to what I have read, comparable at subsonic in performance, quite notably different with planar having the benefit at transonic, and lattice becoming more effective at higher mach numbers compared.
Yea not even sure why you tagged me, i wont read anything you post as you are wrong. If you cant have a conversation with out insulting people then there is no need to ready anything you post.
