I know Dallas usually does stuff like this, but I couldn't help it. (sorry D) An F-16 is flying at Mach 1.2, when all of a sudden a Mig 29 pops up behind him. (Hey! It could happen!) The F-16 pilot doesn't feel like having a dogfight, so he figures some hotshot piloting will fix that Ruskis wagon. The Falcon pilot quickly goes over a series of daring manoeuvres in his mind. First he'll do a 135 degree right roll followed by a firm pull of the stick, then a 45 degree left roll to level out. Next he'll perform a high speed Immelmann turn immediately followed by a Split-S. So he goes for it. With the Mig 29 still right behind him the F-16 pilot does the 135 degree right roll and pulls the stick firmly towards him. What happens next? a) the pilot becomes unconcious due to heavy G's b) the left wing breaks off c) the right wing breaks off d) nothing. The Falcon pilot shakes off the Mig like he hoped.

The Falcon pilot shakes off the Mig like he hoped. My possible answers :- 1. He does the 45 degree left roll to level out. 2. The Rusky matches him move for move and the pair level out together precisely along the airshow flight line. 3. Air traffic Control starts shouting in both their ears. 4. This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Of course I am probably very wrong with all of them... sorry :-) SignatureAndrew B (Cheshire, England) "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."

The Falcon pilot shakes off the Mig like he hoped. a) Not likely as all F-16 pilots are trained to endure up till 9G, and the in flight Computer does not allow the plane to pull more than 9G. b) F-16 is designed to endure a lot more than 9G, and the in flight Computer etc. c) See b) d) Depends on the MIG pilots intentions ;o) I'm leaning heavily towards d) because if the MIG pilot had intended to shoot down the F-16, a misile would have been fired long before the Falcon pilot spotted the opponent ;o) Tommy C, Denmark >> "Marcel Kuijper" wrote: >> What happens next?

Wouldn't that be greater than 9G?

Nope, remember that F-16 pilots are only co-pilots, they tell the computer what they want, and the computer tells them what they can do. Full movement of the joystick in a F-16 is about 1 cm, compined with force censors, the harder you pull/push the more the computer will push the envolope, up untill +9G, and some negatives, within the limits of the A/C and what a top pilot is supposed to be capable of. >> d) Depends on the MIG pilots intentions ;o) >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > That's not how it happened in Top Gun! :-)) There were F-16's in Top Gun?? :o/ The Top Gun manoeuvre is pulling the handbrake and do a 360, which will bring you right on the tail of the instructor ;o) Tommy C, Denmark On 8/26/2008 10:35 AM, Marcel Kuijper went clickity clack on the keyboard and produced this interesting bit of text: > I know Dallas usually does stuff like this, but I couldn't help it. > (sorry D) [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > c) the right wing breaks off > d) nothing.

If he's flying low level, he just became a lawn dart. Okay. Let's say he's at FL500. SignatureMarcel, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (HC153VE) "Attention! This just in: Those weren't really hotdogs you just ate." Hi Studmuffin, Whatever happens, it serves him right for flying an F-16 - he should have been flying a Spitfire, or a P-51 D or H. Just my opinion - sorry Loek! :-)) Regards, John Ward > I know Dallas usually does stuff like this, but I couldn't help it. > (sorry D) [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > c) the right wing breaks off > d) nothing. The Falcon pilot shakes off the Mig like he hoped. :-) Fine, I'll remember that! No hints for you on this one then..... Loek > Hi Studmuffin, > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> c) the right wing breaks off >> d) nothing. The Falcon pilot shakes off the Mig like he hoped. I'm going to have to say D I think. The F-16 pilot would be trained to handle high G's, and he would be fully aware of what G's would be involved as soon as he considered the manoeuvre, and would not have done it if he did not think he could handle it. You need to remember he thought about his move before actioning it, he didn't just act without thinking. B and C seem unlikely again, because the F-16 pilot would know his a/c stress capabilities, and again, considering he thought out his manoeuvre first, he would not have considered anything he had either not done before, or knew the a/c could not handle. The only logical answer that is available for selection, is D.

Great... we need more thought provoking pokes in the ribs. SignatureDallas |
