Experimental Su-33 Flanker-D

231 UAintheworks  3.4 years ago

Just an experimental Su-33 Flanker-D. Group 2 for arresting hook, Group 3 for lights, Group 4 to fold wings, Group 5 for air brakes, Group 6 to activate "supermaneuverability", Group 7 to drop all missiles less 4 SRAAMs.

This was an experiment I tried with all of the Flanker family fighters I built, which due to high wing loading, allows the flankers to fly at a relatively high angle of attack, simulating supermaneuverability.

Group 6 activation increases deflection angle of the ailerons, allowing the aircraft to perform manoeuvres such as the Pugachev Cobra at low speeds. However, with the lack of thrust vectoring, which I haven't tried making yet, over-turning will cause a spin which can't be recovered from, so don't overuse it.
