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

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

Any aircraft which does a stall turn stops momentarily What is a "stall turn"? An airplane that is stalled usually maintains significant forward speed.

Of course...they stall at their design stall speed (which varies with payload, fuel weight and flight configuration). Damned few have a stall speed under 100 knots. -- -Gord.
