    I'm a current Infantryman and can speak for all of us, watching jets do their thing is 100% the most entertaining thing while in any rotation. It makes sucking in the field/mission the best moment of your life for just a couple seconds. It's like a shooting star and you're a kid again.

    I don’t know what the maneuver was called, but at an air show I saw an F-22 pitch up about 45 degrees and maintain straight and level flight at what seemed like 100 mph tops. I don’t understand how that thing didn’t fall out of the sky. Been in aircraft maintenance for 20 years and it is still the most impressive aeronautical thing I’ve seen.

    I don't think that was a true Cobra maneuver because it looked like it was climbing.
    A Pugachev's Cobra is a rapid vertical pitch up from level flight without initiating a climb, followed by a forward-pitch back to level flight, and the plane maintains straight flight throughout the entire maneuver.

    I got to see them do these moves at the Miramar air show and the way it flies is literally indescribable. It doesn’t seem to fly like a plane but more like a spacecraft. It just moves in an entirely different manner than a normal airplane. The F-35 was unveiled at that air show and watching it hover in front of the crowd and then take off into the sky so effortlessly. And then it did a thrust vectoring where it was able to fly so slow over the crowd it was almost like a helicopter and the once again right back to high speed maneuvering. You could clearly see how on a battlefield after it knocked out air defenses it can fulfill its second roll which is essentially a general in the skies. It’s meant to link all of the ground defenses to other air assets and also direct air defense systems. It’s basically a satellite and general sitting above you and able to protect troops and tanks as they move across a battlefield. It’s truly an incredible achievement in warfare and it’s meant to fly with other air assets like F-15s and A-10s, Blackhawks, cobras and ospreys so that we can move as an invading force into whatever direction we want

    Falling leaf was an exercise my instructor made me do in my first lesson (albeit without the slick 180 beforehand). I have fond, fond memories of that... because after that every other aspect of flight training was boring! Never seen it in an air show before this.

    • @lancearnold8251

      I know nothing about avionics but love to watch it in action. But can you tell me, is the falling leaf have a tactical advantage or is it more about showing control of the plane? Or something else?

    • @KaiTakApproach
      @KaiTakApproach ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@lancearnold8251 good question. Let me start with an analogy to lay out the underlying dynamic.
      A fixed wing airplane is similar to water skiing. It is too heavy to float so it needs some forward speed in order to get flow around the wings so it can glide. At rest you are sunk in the water, at low speed you are mushing around, not quite sunk but flopping around a bit and then at a certain speed you rise up all the way out of the water and glide on top of it.
      The wings of an airplane act similar to the way water skis plane on top of the water, although they also use Bernoulli's Principle to create low pressure on top of the wing to really power the effect, but that's more complicated.
      What we really care about here, is the fact that when an airplane gets too slow, it stops skiing and starts sinking. Thats called a "stall".
      It means the airflow around the wing stalled and can't hold the plane up anymore. It does NOT mean the engine stalled.
      Because you are coming up from high speed on takeoff, and you have to slow down to land, at the critical points of takeoff and landing you are naturally around the stall speed. So you have to practice slow flight, in that mushy zone.
      You need to know how to fly mushy, and maybe more importantly, you need to know how to manage a stall.
      If you are turning when you stall, you are likely to enter a spin. If you are flying straight ahead when you stall, most planes are designed to drop the nose first for a while before they spin. No matter the attitude, you start falling down.
      In the old days, everyone practiced stalling the airplane, and then spin recovery. It sounds dangerous but it was a common skill to practice. Nowadays, spin practice isn't required.
      Falling leaf is a kind of an in-between spin. I did most of my primary flight training in a Piper Cub, and in that particular design you can hold the nose up as you stall, as opposed to a full spin, where the nose dives. In a Falling Leaf, the instructor controls the stick and the throttle. They reduce speed until stall, and pull the stick back all the way, nose up. All you get to use is the pedals that control the rudder.
      You come up into a little mini Cobra maneuver and then fall straight down. As you do, the plane starts to rock around its longitudinal axis, with one wing or another dropping. Counterintuitively, you don't use the stick to fix it, which is normally the right control to rock the wings. But doing so will snap you into a spin. So you use the rudder instead. This exercise teaches you to break your normal training and instinct because that will put you into a spin or make it worse. It's a training step before spin training.
      The end result is you are falling out of the sky like a rock, nose up, and your wings keep rocking as if they were flapping, coming around so far that sometimes you are nearly upside down. It's exciting.
      Let me know if you need anything explained more thoroughly.

    That is not pukachev's cobra! When I saw the title of the video, I was interested, mainly because the F22 is incapable of doing the cobra.
    The Cobra is basicly an airbrake, meaning you fly with an extreme angle of attack far beyond the point where you would stall! ( angle of attack up to 110°)
    Basicly you fly horizontally while the nose points upwards, however, in this clip the pilot just pitches up, pulls a few Gs and gains altitude.
    The maximum angle of attack in the clip is aroung 30° degrees, which is by far not enough for a stall and theirfor not enough for the cobra. It is just enough for you to see some vorticies at the wing tips.

The F-22 seems to be completely controllable the moment that lift is achieved.

      I dunno if that's a question or just an observation. The F-22 is a stealth plane, so if you *hear* it, it's probably not in performance mode. Also, the aerodynamics were designed to maximize agility, so it needs to have a computer to stay in the air and to interpret what the pilot wants. Given that capability, if you go from an old F-16 to an F-22, the fly by wire, can seem like fly by magic, given the responsiveness. And, you can get a feel for this on the ground: Drive an average car, then drive a rack and pinion car, then test drive a Tesla. That will give you the Wow! factor of difference. All of those should be accessible to most people, and you don't even need to try a Porche or Ferrarri. ;-)

    i have never heard of a Falling Leaf maneuver... Falling Leaf was a state early F/A-18 Hornets could enter.. it was an unrecoverable free fall towards the ground, pretty devastating actually.. consequently the Hornet's FCS got fixed to prevent that "Falling Leaf" from happening.

    • @hanksimon1023
      @hanksimon1023 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The F-22 is not designed to be as "aerodynamic" as the F-18, it was designed to be much more maneuverable, so it 'breaks' some rules of aerodynamics, then 'fixes' them by having a computer that can compensate. Lots of 'learning situations' can be recovered from, when you have a computer as your co-pilot that fixes things before you realize the errors of your ways.

      … the compressor has to have its own power, remembering that jet engines work based on airflow, afterburner is when fuel is dispersed into the exhaust, which does to a degree create negative pressure inducing compressor movement, but theres alot to these systems, so it could have a ramjet principle, it could have an adjustable bypass or even a compressed air compensator in cases where the intakes are not supplying air at the necessary rates for thrust, but the flame-out can be controlled by a simple auto ignition, the worst thing to deal with would be latent heat that comes with burning fuel without adequate airflow, the bunsen burner section could easily oxidise if exposed too long sacrificing its service time. But im just a refrigeration engineer, i could be wrong.

    Technically a falling leaf is a departure from controls meaning that the pilot is unable to control the plane and needs to wait to get more speed before being able to reestablish control. And it’s more back and forth. That beautiful jet was in full control that entire time.
