I'm no aerodynamicist but I've been running some numbers and noticed some
interesting things. The SU-27 is credited with being more manueverable than F-15 and yet F-15 has a higher TTW number (except at gross) and a lower wing loading by a large margin (again except at gross). The SU should develope more body lift than Eagle, but at best it looks like a wash at low altitudes, with Eagle turning better than SU at altitude. Any thoughts? Am I missing something large here? The Su's lerx's and higher aspect wing should make a positive differance at low level and low speeds but I dont think it would make up for the other numbers. Eagle should have a 20% better wing loading and about a 14% better TTW number. -- Curiosity killed the cat, and I'm gonna find out why! |
