This is achieved largely by designing an aircraft that is highly maneuverable, but will not deep stall (thus allowing quick recovery by the pilot) and will recover predictably and favorably (ideally to level flight; more realistically to as shallow a nose-down attitude as possible). Resumen en vídeo y goles del EDF Logroño 0-4 FC Barcelona. Again, I realize that "Top Gun" is not a fantastic source, but could his maneuver be described as a Cobra? I have a good perception of what technologies prevent an airframe from experiencing departure at high alphas, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 design doesn't employ them. Report. Considering that Wikipedia is an American company using American webservers, an American registrar and a largely-American readerbase, it should be important to note that the American dictionary properly spells the word: "maneuver". This is why jetliners all pretty much look the same. O.N.R. @ Could be written as "The Su-27 family fitted with thrust vectoring" As the aircraft changes direction, its centrifugal force (measured in Gs) can far exceed that of the earth's gravity. The maneuver relies on the ability of the plane to be able to quickly change angle of attack, which mo

In this case the Mig-29 TVC prototype should be added to this list

Will delete these last 2 entries. Playing next. Deleted this text. There are plenty of subtleties at play; everything from the general weight distribution of the aircraft to the fine-tuning of the FCS.

This allows stalls to be controlled; the pilot will intentionally stall the aircraft with a hard maneuver, then recover quickly with the high engine power. A recent post on the BF4C Facebook group got me to thinking...  "What if the fighters contending to replace the CF-18 were cars?" I've come across those directions in accounts of Pugachev's Cobra, as well as in some flight sims. EDF EUROFIGHTER Cobra Maneuver.

Instead of being Well, I'm only a flight sim affictionado, so I know nothing about nothing, I'm sure, but performing a hook correctly seems, at least in flight-sim land - to succeed in putting your nose on the target, after which you can shoot at him. Most aircraft are designed to be stable and easily recoverable in such a situation; the aircraft will pitch nose-down so that the angle of attack of the wings is reduced to match the aircraft's current direction (known technically as the velocity vector), restoring normal airflow over the wings and control surfaces and enabling controlled flight.A supermaneuverable aircraft allows the pilot to maintain at least some control when the aircraft stalls, and to regain full control quickly. It is NOT possible to do Pugachev's Cobra in the "MiG-29" per se, because that aircraft is traditional hydro-mechanic steering. So, unless the CG is behind about 50% of the main wing's MAC, the jet would tend to pitch down (from >90°) regardless of elevator position.

Fighter pilots need to be fitted for a  Several research projects were conducted through the 1990s and one in particular, entitled "Performance Assessment of Fighter Aircraft incorporating Advanced Technologies" Also, "it's" is a contraction for "it is" not the posessive of it, which is "its". I'm just a college student who's interested. There are several places in the article where weasel word assertions are made. Note that the F-22 is not alone in performing fake Cobra's, Su-30's performs similar maneuvers at airshows where it uses its thrust vectoring to maneuver at stall speeds but still calls it Cobra. --What do you all think? The target page is currently a redirect to this one. Pugachev's Cobra → The Cobra maneuver – It's never referred to as Pugachev's Cobra and Pugachev didnt discover the maneuver.

While maneuverability in general can be described as getting the aircraft to move as the pilot wishes, it is much more difficult to give a hard and fast rating. An aircraft's handling characteristics is a much more subjective subject than speed or payload. I find it plausible that neutralizing the elevator could bring the nose back to the horizon. :-) Made Hook a redlink too, I wonder if there's much written on that subject?

It was my understanding, from working with AF veterans as well as just being in the aerospace field at the moment, that the is there any actual evidence of this aircraft performing the maneuver? I believe that angle of attack is being confused with pitch angle by the writer.
