An aeroplane that can stand still in air
Hi,
Is there an aeroplane that can stand still in mid-air ? I used to think that SU - 30 could do it. Is that true ? I found no evidence on a google web/groups search. Thanks, Chandresh |

If you are flying an airplane at 60 kt IAS into a 60 kt wind you are not moving forwards or backwards. I've seen a Tiger Moth do this for about a minute during an unofficial display, so it's hardly high tech! -- Errol Cavit | I've heard a tape of collected kakapo noises, and it's almost impossible to believe that it all just comes from a bird, or indeed any kind of animal.

Is there an aeroplane that can stand still in mid-air ? Sure. I saw a Storch hover over the runway at Pease, at an airshow two or three years ago. Of course there was a NW wind. all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |

I saw this airplane hover in place at an airshow at Moffet Field:

No Keith As usual, Keith tries to speak as an authority and is dead wrong as usual. I have a demonstrator video of a Su-35 stopped in mid-air (briefly) during a difficult manouver and there are plenty of others who have seen the Su-37 do it too. Rob |
