Cool, Andre Brännström is a G
Interesting how rapidly it can decelerate on landing with the canard deflection. Would be nice if we could do that in game.

The speed is also indicated there for reasons of M
I believe I read in a book that Gripen was among the first fighter jet to feature ABS brakes
Anti-skid automation appeared long before the Grippen
Could’ve been the Viggen, been a while since I read it :)
Anti-skid was on the Su-24, and this is 67
Hence the word “among” (also 1967)
need this book “Aircraft Aerodynamic Design with Computational Software”

I think that the anti-skid system appeared on the B-52 and Tu-95
Also not fighter jets
What about it?
The view from above does not yet give much insight. If this is a velocity field, then the flow from the root part should tend to the end part
You working on the over-performance of in-game FM or something? just sharing links?
For now I’m just sharing links.

Quote:-The aerodynamic advantages derived from the close coupled canard configuration, foremost its good vortex flow stability up to high angles of attack (AOA), that can be translated into a very high instantaneous turn rate,-
Delta canard’s inherent good aerodynamics are:
· Stable detached leading edge vortex flow, high maximum lift coefficient.
· Positive trim lift on all lifting surfaces.
· Floating canard offers stable aircraft if EFCS fails.
· Good field performance (take off and landing), enhanced by special aerodynamic breaking mode.
· Battle damage tolerance good, “overlapping” control surfaces.
· Potential for future adaptations, like steep approach, fuselage aiming.
· Low buffeting levels made even better with leading edge flaps.
Spin recovery known to be acceptable for close coupled delta canard (not necessarily so for a long coupled canard configuration):
One of the disadvantages is that the mid-canard does not come out of a tailspin
Quote:-Rebourg said that to date, they have not been able to depart the aircraft into a spin».
DAVID M. NORTH/ISTRES, FRANCE quoting Philippe Rebourg, «deputy chief test pilot for military aircraft at Dassault.-
The Swedes, accustomed as they are to high technology, are astonished by the performance that is possible on the MiG-29. That the Fulcrum, with its two RD-33 engines each producing 81.3kN of thrust with afterburning, should have considerably more power available than the Gripen is no surprise. The JAS 39 is after all powered by a single RM12 turbofan developed by Volvo from the General Electric F404 turbine and delivering 80.5kN of thrust with afterburning. ”But they have been really surprised by what we can achieve despite the MiG’s outdated avionics”, says Squadron Leader Treinies.
