Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection

Dual use of lattice handlebars as control device and airbrake as well as method of unfolding on the rail it seems

Grid Fins AirBrake

LATTICE WINGS COMBINING FUNCTIONS OF STABILIZERS AND BRAKE SHIELDS

Well yes, i know that it can be designed that way. We were discussing if the specific ones on falcon 9 were designed that way or not.

and it seems the paper is on dynamic angle on the longitude axis as a means for temporarily turning it into an airbrake, as far as i know the falcon 9 can’t angle their fins on that axis dynamically, only rotate them around a different axis on a set point on the first longitude axis.

It is getting quite off topic at this point, I suggest we don’t continue the conversation or if we do, in DM’s. The Su-27 thread was already cleaned up once.

Really hoping your repeating radar scan pattern report goes through:/

Ye, it is hella annoying watching your slow ass radar take even longer than it should to find a single target.

Since the last report sadly didn’t get that much attention (it got fixed, but not really). Here is a new one:

This is some insane IRST underperformance lol

Nice job man, If they fix It’ll give IRST much more significance than it has now.

İn test drive, the İRST won’t even lock the sabre from side front aspect 3KM +.

İn battles against F-15, if F-15 flares it locks the flares.

İt’s a R-60 super irst

Ye, it is sad now.
My biggest wish, when the Su-27 came out, was to fly close to terrain and use the powerfull IRST to lob some ETs at people. But instead we got a copy paste IRST of the 29, with lobbies full of bots (can’t tell what is a player and what isn’t), with similarly underperorming ET seeker range.

Thanks @IrohNick

As you can see, the game is much inferior to the real one

will you report it?

Do you know of any open sources that describe the scan pattern / area of the N001 (or N001VEP)?

Currently, the N001(VEP) has copy/paste scan patterns of the N019.
In the SUV-29E, it is mentioned that the N019 does not have sufficiently high scan rate (period = 3.6s) to be able to provide mid-course updates for the R-27R in TWS (so a hard lock is required).
My guess is that if that were the case (and because N001 and N019 share a lot of similarities), N001VEP would have to have faster scan patterns (for the R-77), either by increasing the angular velocity of the radar dish, or by introducing a smaller scan pattern for TWS (which I think is more likely), kind of how the APG-66 has a 3 bar ±25° azimuth scan for TWS.

no

Crazy guy thinks that flying at low altitude is enough to maintain air superiority. Caracol where are the ECMs?

But this nozzle is for AL-31/41…, not KLIVT…The original patent was issued in 2006…

And what does KLIVT have to do with it? I’ve lost the thread of the dialogue. KLIVT appeared earlier

There is an all-angle nozzle for AL-31/41… but there is a conflict of interest between NPO SATURN and NPC SALYUT (although now both companies are members of the ODK) - Saturn does not have a license for the Salyut nozzle… how the RF Ministry of Defense coordinates orders for engines and nobody knows the design…
