We hurried over to the flight line to see it. i was a power lineman and also airfield lighting and power technician (TAC) F-111 training base. Thanks for this post.

I grew up with the CF104, which my father worked on as an avionics technician at 1 Wing Lahr Germany in the 1960s. But back then it was polished silver - a beautiful aircraft. When I returned to Canadian Forces Europe in 1977 to run the radio station at Baden-Söllingen, the 104s were painted army green like in the video.

Landing speed is about 170 to 180 knots depending on weight and conditions an touch down 160 to 170kts. You fly it at no less thar 83 to 85% power and use the speed brakes to adjust speed not the throttle. Cutting the power means you loose boundary air and will quickly stall. Was indeed flying a formula 1 race car. Pretty basic but fast and hard to see.

One of the huge problems of the type. Due to the small wing area it stalled very early, and viciously. Even with everything working perfectly, landing speed was just short of 300 km/h. That's with the BLC system functioning properly; if the engine had problems or had stalled, you needed to go *much* faster than that...

@dennyilkov93414 жыл бұрын
Hhhh.. To fool the wing that it was bigger. Nah, if that system failed, in clean config (no external load) would add 20-25 kts. So, touch down at around 185 kts, no load an must be low on fuel.

@@spitfirenutspitfirenut4835 Many newer fighters, including F-16, have better thrust/weight ratio than the F-104, and are thus able to accelerate faster during take-off and at subsonic speed. The F-104 excels at supersonic speed because its streamlined, rocketlike fuselage and short, thin wings with almost knife sharp leading edges produces less drag than most other fighters, enabling it to beat many of them despite its lower thrust/weight ratio. Fighters that do beat or at least match the F-104's top speed (F-15, F-22, Eurofighter etc) generally do that by "brute force", i.e. higher thrust/weight ratio.

Friction is determined by f=-μF where f is the frictional force, μ is the friction coefficient and F is the weight of the object in question. This means it doesn't actually matter how much surface area is in contact with the ground. You just need very sticky tires.

The F-104 weighs 6,350 kg empty and 13,166 kg at full load, so let's say the craft in question weighs about 10 tons or 10,000kg or about 100 kN. With the afterburner on the engine produces 69 kN of thrust, and friction coefficient of tires being around 0.7~0.8, the frictional force is about 70 ~ 80 kN, which is _just_ about enough to hold the plane in place before takeoff.
