Aim 120 max aoa6/18/2023 That is not to say it's impossible to dodge once its in the NER, rather that the missile will simply have the range to reach target even if the target goes full cold in that distance. We already discussed it has a 40G limit for the body, the 28G is lift limited as it can easily do 30 degrees AoA, so we know 28G to be the maximum theoretical maneuvering limit by AoA and lift and it would only do this if it was in the no-escape range wherein the kinematic performance of the missile pulling maximum G's to target will still be capable of reaching the target. Which is the important thing, you can't defeat a 25G(or even 20G often) missile in a maybe 13-15G aircraft, the only way you can do it now is if you drain the missile of energy making its actual maneuverability less than that. Peak maneuverability would be less, but the total amount of maneuvering possible could be greater. If it was limited by the maximum AoA it could hold, similarly 28G would only be a peak acceleration, it would go down as the missile lost speed. The VC can be used to know the fuel to bingo (in our case 140 kilograms) or to change the MFD arrangement to show the Map on the central display.Source? There's no info on what the 28G limit represents, other than that if it could be sustained it is probably not lift limited. I can even give it a try: I activate the VC with my left finger on the throttle button and by saying “Radio 2, Channel 19″ I instruct the plane to select a new radio frequency. Noteworthy, we make extensive use of the Voice Command (VC), to change radio channels or to squawk “ident” to the Air Traffic Control radar. A breathtaking 280°/s aileron roll (performed by the pilot in the front seat) ends this part of our flight. I’ve also the opportunity to taste the flight controls and HOTAS to perform some basic maneuvers. The autotrim feature is quite useful, while the way the engines react to the throttle is pretty impressive. Awesome.Īfter some more air-to-air activity, we engage another working area for some free flight, during which Olivares shows me the maneuverability of the plane. The aircraft provides the pilot with the same “user experience” as if he was using an APG-80 radar. In other words, it is equipped with all the “accessories” pilots can find in the Eurofighter Typhoon, the F/A-18 Hornet, the Dassault Rafaleor the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. It is equipped with a HUD (Head Up Display), HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick), VCI (Vocal Control Inputs), and a Helmet Mounted Display system built around a lightweight HGU-55P helmet, with a night module that can to be fitted to the standard NVG eyepiece kit that works by overlaying the HMD symbology to that of the NVG imagery. The “Master” couples cutting edge equipment with impressive performance for a plane of its type: the jet features a high thrust-to-weight ratio, supersonic speed at high altitude, and a maneuverability similar to those of the leading combat aircraft. The Alenia Aermacchi M-346 “Master” is a dual-engine LIFT (Lead-In to Fighter Trainer) jet selected by Italy, Poland, Israel and Singapore for advanced pre-operative training, the latest stage of a fighter pilot training, which aims to develop the information management and aircraft handling skills of future pilots before they are assigned to the OCUs (Operational Conversion Units).
