The confidence in Matrix voice when he said Spitfire though, I was just surprised he got half as far with it on 5% there was no chance 😂
@jugganaut33Ай бұрын
I think if it was pound for pound it probably would have won. But 5% is only 20L of fuel in a 27L engine. Because it only has a 400L tank Compared to the A10 which has capacity for 6000 litres. 5% fuel is 300L. So it’s not exactly fair. Matrix was right. If the Spitfire had a full fuel tank it could easily get to 30,000ft
@ravneivАй бұрын
Yeah they should re-run this at a normalized fuel weight load across the planes. That is a real test of efficiency.
@josephwhiskeybealeАй бұрын
@@jugganaut33I’m not sure if I understand your point, the A10 can still climb to 45k feet and has over twice the rate of climb. Unless you’re saying give everyone an equal amount of fuel?

Viggen is the best for flying between trees and under bridges. It's a super sweet ride in ground effect. It may need a little help from time to time if slope changes too abruptly, but you can basically set your AGL with trim and you'll feel the ground push you up and down as you go. A lot of problems with the flight model but that part is quite lovely.

The J-85 in the F5 is a tiny Turbojet, NOT a Turbofan. It was originally developed for a B52 decoy, the ADM-20 Quail. So its closer to a cruise missile engine then a typical turbojet. Its power to weigth ratio is very good and as far as Turbojets go, its quite efficient. Now there is a Turbofan version of it, the CF-700. It is an Aftfan engine, not a normal two shaft Turbofan. It was used in the T-39 and the Dassault Falcon 20.
