Question:
True the F-22 is a generation ahead but amongst these two which one do you consider better. I believe its the Sukhoi Su 30 because despite being twice the size of a F-16 it can out manuver it, thanx to its thrust vectoring, infact it can out manuver any aircraft in the world such is the design, though I think the F-16 has better avionics. Which one would win in a dogfight? My money is on the Sukhoi.
Answers:
why dont planes fly into each other?
Y'all are aware that he's asking about the late export version of the Su30 that was sold to india, that's what the MKI part means, Modernizirovannyi Kommercheskiy (modernized commercial) India.What is the best aircraft to start a long haul charter with? From Atlanta to Nigeria?
The MKI has no AoA limit at low speed, the thrust vectoring, canards and stabilator allow it to be flown whilst pointing in any direction. This isn't some NASA test vehicle, it a fighter in service with the Inidan airforce that can point itself wherever it needs to.
i want to be a pilot for singapore airlines when i grow up any suggestions?
Typically an F16 would expect to have an advantage based on superior avionics, but this isn't a purely Russian aircraft, the avionics are a mix of Russian, French, Israeli and Indian gear. For example the HUD is an Israeli Elbit unit. So the radar and other avionics in the F16 aren't necessarily superior.
Does anyone have a detailed list of American Airlines' fleet?
The quality of the N011-M Bars phased array radar depends on how far india has got in replacing the data processor. Radar is very important in beyond visual range engagements, obviously. One interesting claim is that the radar can, through mechanical and electronic steering, detect a target at 60km in the rear quadrant. The radar was designed to detect an f-16 and 140-160km.
What is the fastest bomber in the world and what country built it?
The ECM is also Israeli, if it is to their full capability then it will probably perform very well against the f-16 which is well known to the Israelis.
What's the meaning of airplane number?
Empty an F-16C power/weight ration is about 1.5, the Su30 is about 1.2, full the F1-6C is 0.68 and the Su30 is 0.68
how do the cheap airlines make money?
F-16C combat radius is 340nm with a typical weapon load, the Su30 combat radius is around 500nm.
Can a large passenger airliner land if the flaps failed to extend. Has this ever happened?
The Su30 can also carry a lot of missiles, up to 10 R-77s which are broadly similar to AMRAAMs. It can also carry R-27 and R-23 missiles. These things bristle with missiles when loaded up. I think they could do with a more modern missile though, but who knows what the Russians have been doing with their missile electronics.
Did you do well on the MCAT exam for medical schools?
So where's that leave us? If an F-16C and an Su30 MKI got into it after flying for a similar time, and they can both be in-flight refueled so there's no intrinsic advantage either way, they would probably detect and engage at similar ranges. Both loaded and heavy would have similar performance, so they would be able to give their first BVR shots similar performance. It would be down to the avionics whether those shots would be on target. As the fight developed the aircraft would burn fuel fast in avoiding missiles and manoeuvering for shots, the F-16C would get more manoeuverable faster than the Su30. But the Su30 can keep firing in missiles and causing the F-16 to evade. If they got to visual range combat then things start to turn very sticky for the F16, it can accelerate faster by now, but it only has a couple of shots and it is fighting an opponent that can point in any direction to lock on and launch its missiles.
Has anyone seen pics of the airbus A380?
If the reliability of the systems is good on the Su30 MKI, the Israelis did a good job on the ECM and the Indians did a good job on the radar processor then I'd hate to be the F16 pilot facing one. In the end the F-16 is going to run out of fuel and missiles and find itself in a fight with an ultra manoeuverable and still heavily armed Su30 that can still afford to use afterburner and who even has a second crew member to help maintain situational awareness.
The Su30 is more a peer of the Eurofighter Typhoon and Rafael, neither of which would have much trouble taking out an F16.
Can Passenger flight be at a same place in the air same as fighter planes?
man !! they r very expensive... go for some cheaper one.Did any of the huge flying boats, Martin 130 or Boeing 314, have dining rooms and sleeping berths?
The better plane does not determine who would win in a dog fight. The United States is the most technologically advanced military in the world. Your assertations of the aircraft is correct however you have not included anything on the tecnolgical advances of U.S. air-to-air munitions, advanced flight training (red flag, top gun, william tell, etc...), or even some of the most advanced electronic counter measure systems that US aircraft carry. So based on that I would take your money any day of the week. Because even though your Su-30 can out maneuver my F-16 it dosent change the fact its all about position. Getting it, maintaing it, and using it to your advantage.i would like to work as a maintenance engineer , what should i do after graduation?
The F-16 is the largest and probably most significant current Western fighter program, with over 4,000 aircraft built since production started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the United States Air Force, it is still produced for export.On aircraft, what do the audio signals to cabin crew mean?
The F-16 is regarded as a superb dogfighter, with innovations including a frameless canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-load, and reclined seat to reduce g-effects on the pilot. It was also the first fighter aircraft to be deliberately built to be able to sustain 9 g turns
What are some careers in the avaition (mainly helicopters) industry?
i would definetely go for the f-16
What education do I need to become an air traffic controller?
Our F-16C would win... Sukhoi may be able to SLIGHTLY out manuever it, but our F-16 has much more up-to-date technologies and weapon systems. We are one of the most technologically advanced countries besides Japan. We do have the most effective weapons systems.With the F-16's guns, the Sukhoi would be out of the fight before it could even take off probably.how can find job for the post of cabin crew in jet airways?
Your Comparing apples to Oranges my friend. A better comparison would be the F-15E or maybe the Super Hornet. The sukhoi is a long range interceptor based on the Su-27 trainer, two seats and all. The F-16 is a multi-role with more advanced avionics. But a dog fight is less about manuverability and more about the ability of the pilot to press his advantage and minimize hs disadvantage. My money is on the F-16, it is smaller, much smaller, which translates to a more elusive target. It also has a better thrust to weight ratio, which alows it to climb nearly 25 m/s faster than the Su. And between those two craft, manuverability is less important due to the fact that the limiting factor about of both planes is the amount of G's that the pilots can take, not the airframe.What license do you need to fly a STOL CH 801?
It depends on the pilot, the weapons, the avionics, and the speed.For more information, go to these links:
