And what exactly is it? They provide additional resistance on the air intake.And also at high angles of attack, they create vortices affecting the underwing.
Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection
I agree. The positives did not out weight the negatives. No modern Flankers have them anymore.
That’s a very nice paper!
As you see the actual polar of the aircraft is below (aka less efficient) than the ideal one with E = constant. That’s exactly because E is not constant in real life, as Lifting Line theory is just an approximation.

It’s not even permanent. This is the inverse coefficient of A (it is called the coeff of the polar blade) and after 0.85M it becomes unstable

Yep, that what I was saying here:
This formula is valid for large angles
up to 40 for sure
I think the RWR cover disappeared in the next version after Flanker B.

Why are you always making things up
This maneuver requires very sudden and rapid attainment of AoA. This is because if they do not immediately stall - the resulting uneven forces cause uncontrolled departure.

Making things up? Like you who thought bisonic was a real word?! Lol
Really Einstein? Captain Obvious over here.
The Flanker has been observed pulling 110-120 degrees without any sign of a stall. You do not know what you are talking about you do not even know what lift is. Of course the aircraft will stall if your remain in the regime lol.
You do not have any idea what supermaneuvrability is.
You think the F-18 is capable! lol this man thinks the F-18 is capable of doing everything and even better than the Su-27. You are completely disqualified from speaking about the maneuverability of the Su-27

Not really, it’s an annoying when people try to doubt the ability of the Flanker & its perfect aerodynamic design. Dude thinks the F-18 is just as capable as the Flanker. You guys can disagree & be mad at me all you want over the radar history & specs (btw there are additional search modes & targeting range in the Su-27SM).
However, the Flanker’s aerodynamic ability in all combat regimes is one thing no one can legitimately devalue.
it’s obvious to everyone the aircraft must return to an optimal degree of alpha before it stalls.
This uneducated individual does not know what supermaneuvrability consist of.
Angles of attack beyond maximum lift.
Supermaneuvrability is the capability of fighter aircraft to execute tactical maneuvers that are not possible with purely aerodynamic techniques. Such maneuvers can involve controlled side-slipping or angles of attack beyond maximum lift

No, it hasn’t. TsAGI themselves described the process already in a paper you have been given and refuse to acknowledge.
Are you incapable of reading anything other than your own regurgitated nonsense?
That observation was conducted by real professional aviation analyst & is also approved by professional studies. They were not baseless uneducated assumptions made by some gamer who only larps as an aeronautics engineer like yourself.
An Analysis of the Su-27 Flight Demonstration at the 1989 Paris Airshow (sae.org)
I have the same sources you do, but I can actually read. TsAGI describes the degree of alpha required to achieve Dynamic Attainment aka supermaneuvrability at regimes beginning at 90 degrees or more. Not what the Su-27 maximum degree of alpha is in every speed regime ever, especially in combat. the Directo of TsAGI will not openly disclose those numbers. Do I need to explain why?
You will not find solid open-source intelligence on it. Licensed users of the aircraft are not permitted to disclose them either. Do I need to explain why?
Why do you think the US paid a lot of money for one example of the aircraft if intelligence on them is accurately available? Do I need to explain why?
What you said was made up. No one qualified or educated on the matter would state that an aircraft can conduct a 120° AoA pitch without stalling. This isn’t possible. Total flow departure would have occured between 40 and 60 units depending on conditions.
Please read from the director of TsAGI

This man described the capabilities of the Su-27 that day in 1989. You were not even born yet my guy. Yet you can determine who is qualified? Is that so?

Andrew Skow is an aerodynamicist, an aircraft designer, and a pilot. He has been active in the research, design, development and flight-testing of advanced, high-performance aircraft for more than 50 years. As Chief of Aerodynamics Research at Northrop, he led the development of the revolutionary Forebody Vortex Control technology that was successfully flight tested on the F-5, X-29 and F/A-18. In 1979, he was awarded the prestigious Wright Brothers Medal for his work in high angle-of-attack aerodynamics and flight mechanics. Later, as Chief Engineer for Aerodynamics, Propulsion Integration, Flight Performance, Stability/Control and Thermodynamics, he was a key contributor to the development of the F-20 Tiger Shark fighter. Since leaving Northrop and becoming an ‘entrepreneur’, he has focused on fostering innovation in aeronautics, resulting in the development of a new design approach for fighter aircraft that emphasizes Agility of the entire Weapon System, the creation of advanced air combat measures of merit for fighter aircraft, the establishment of new flight control design criteria for maximizing fighter aircraft maneuverability/agility and the development of a variable stability training aircraft for enhanced upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT). He has also co-developed a new flight deck/cockpit stall alerting system called Q Alpha that has the potential to significantly reduce the number of Loss of Control and Approach/Landing accidents in all areas of aviation from light GA aircraft to heavy transports.
Dude. @MiG_23M is so ignorant all you can do is literally just talk & lie. You have zero ability to interpret what is fact or fiction in any aircraft design. Please, do the world a favor & stop. At least go to college first.
You cannot even determine what words are made up & thought I was serious when I said bisonic dash.
Now this comment here is another example of your inability to slow down and evaluate what others are trying to teach you… I evaluate everything other say on the forum & though they think I don’t I do investigate their points. I will admit when my points do not stand after further research.

You spewing a bunch of nonsense doesn’t excuse the fact that the Su-27 stalls to achieve >90° ‘AoA’, which is actually just the Russians stating the nose angle in relation to the ground and not necessarily the true AoA at the time. What you’re doing is trying to change the topic or discredit me… I’m not the one making the absurd claims. You are. I’m simply showing you that the people who developed the plane state it must stall to cobra.
The MiG-29 for example is incapable of 90° AoA, only around 60°. By the time it is 90° in relation to the ground, the velocity vector is moving upwards around 30°. Speed is slowed almost to a standstill and recovery is done by accelerating as the nose comes back down.
Read the source and educate yourself. The cobra maneuver requires the pilot to rapidly stall the wing to avoid uncontrolled departure symptoms such as wing rock or asymmetrical vortices loading on either side of the nose.

Lol look, boys.
He is attempting to ignore the fact he just lied at said no one qualified made the observation of 120 degree alpha capability in the Su-27…
You do not know what supermaneuvrability is
That is why your brain thinks it’s nonsense.
