Perfesser Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Possible? No afterburner? https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7948768512/h17917D6C/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothkrieger Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I say real. Su33, navy version of Su27 that can do the Cobra manouver. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=su+27+cobra&docid=4605181122381715&mid=7AD52BF324E8B66CEEC27AD52BF324E8B66CEEC2&view=detail&FORM=VIRE3#view=detail&mid=37BB3FA01F842AFF2B2737BB3FA01F842AFF2B27 A little more looking and look what I found. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=su+27+cobra&docid=4605181122381715&mid=7AD52BF324E8B66CEEC27AD52BF324E8B66CEEC2&view=detail&FORM=VIRE3#view=detail&mid=AB2DE6782D2EE17917A7AB2DE6782D2EE17917A7 It helps when you can hear the sound.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 16, 2013 2. Administrators Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Real - allegedly shot during carrier trials for the 33. Whether an intentional late abort or not is another matter. Of course, he's not actually pulling a cobra manouver here, it is a high-alpha climbout though (albeit briefly). The power-to-weight ratio here is quite something! Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted December 16, 2013 2.

Gothkrieger Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 True, not a Cobra, but the kind of move that a Cobra capable aircraft would be able to pull off is where I was going with that. And yes, that could possibly have been staged but we would only guessing at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 The thing has to weigh 10 or 12 tons. Imagine the power arresting the descent and accelerating up. He didn't give throttle till almost on the deck if the sound sync is correct in the vid Empty weight: 18,400 kg (40,600 lb) Loaded weight: 29,940 kg (66,010 lb) Powerplant: 2 × AL-31F afterburning turbofans Dry thrust: 74.5 kN (16,750 lbf) each Thrust with afterburner: 125.5 kN (28,214 lbf) each FB that chopper vid is amazing skill but dangerous enough. Much like I tell them at work when they say "you can't do that" "You mean you can't, much depends on the violinist". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nage Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 As far as i can remember that was a fail drill. Now, also saw somewhere (correct me if i`m wrong) that the thing for landings on deck for every pilot Russian, American or any that has same type of landing on final has low power on descent to deck but when wheels touch the deck and hook is caught on line, pilot throttles up in case of line failure. My opinion is that every two engine plane like F-14/15 Mig-29 Su-27/35 has broad enough fuselage to perform such a maneuver. Only thing that makes great difference is that Russian planes are more stable at low speeds and high AoA For example is the damaged Israeli F-15 successfully landed after wing being snapped of..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVkB7V-JybY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Isn't he just doing a shorter Cobra maneuver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
