The sound of the fighter pilot add so much to this video. From the ground, or in a movie, it seems to be so easy. But with the sound from the pilot it gets to a completely new level. What an amazing task they perform. I guess none of us can imagine how it is to be at work at +9G. Hat off for all fighter pilots, you are very special.

[@inso80]

These fighter pilots are absolute physical peak condition. Without that, they would splat. Most of us have no idea what 9g even is and would pass out way before that. Most of us could not even move at those forces even if we would not pass out somehow. Had a beer with a fighter pilot once, his neck muscles were insane.

[@bladfadsfblaadsfsadf900]

⁠@@inso80 it wouldn’t go so far as to say peak physical condition. It more so comes down to good baseline strength and endurance as well as (most importantly) consistent exposure. A bit over a month ago I felt awful pulling 4-6 Gs. Now, I don’t even have to do AGSM and need only to squeeze my quads and core.

This pilot is unreal. To put yourself in -3g after quite a lot of high G maneuvers, and from that -3G, immediately into an 8g sustained, with a roll to 5g's, at that altitude, is probably the most dangerous thing I've ever seen a pilot willingly do. That's red out territory, to black out territory, immediately. And at that altitude, the slightest lapse and he's gone. Incredible, obviously he does this often, and he's gotten his body used to it, but this video makes experienced fighter pilots grimmace, and with good reason, most avoid negative G because it sucks, it's super uncomfortable, and it actually fucks with your blood vessels, the rapid transition from pushed down to extremities in negative G, to blood pushed up towards the brain causes blood vessel constriction and can induce GLOC very quickly. 4:50-5:30 is some of the craziest flying i've ever seen, but that scrub off, to gear to landing was beautiful in every way.

Good observation. The Gripen was designed for the Swedish system of bases of which many are just reinforced stretches of ordinary Swedish roads (just slightly wider than usual; with slots for parking the planes over a widespread area to avoid pre-combat losses). A typical road base is 16 meters wide and 800 meters long and the plane is designed for a 10-minute turnaround (incl. fueling and loading). No parachutes. The landing gear comes with crazy efficient carbon-fibre brakes and is strengthened (just like its predecessor, the 37 Viggen), to cope with the forces of short landings. Also, there is a pair of air brakes near the end of the fuselage and - the Gripen signature brake - the canard wings are tilted down to shorten the landing even more.

[@christianm1533]

It's has extremely laminar airflow. So it looses little to no energy when turning. If you look at airshows you'll see all these bathtubs turning showing extreme underpressure over their wings and creating boiled steam. All the ppl will go like "Oh cool". But it's actually rubbish. It means the aircraft is bleeding energy because it is loosing lift when creating alpha. You'll be hard pressed to see videos of the Gripen loosing laminar airflow. Even at extreme instantaneous and sustained turn rates. It carves air like nothing else.

[@FoxMikeHotel]

@@christianm1533 Hmmm maybe you should take a look at the hraph demostrating the lift/alpha in the most basic principle of flight book... There is no such thing as loosing lift as you increase aoa unless you're above stall aoa and not flying anymore, and those over wing vapors you talk about are here because of the low pressures at high aoa, and it's those low pressures that makes a plane fly, it doesn't mean a plane is bleeding speed (and certainly not lift), it means that the plane generates a lot of lift and that the pressure is low enough to generate vapor in the current atmospheric conditions. Any plane can generate such vapor, I've seen it quite a lot over airliners wings that were certainly not bleeding speed. Planes will however bleed energy during tight turns because as aoa and lift goes up, so does drag and the engine is not always powerful enough to overcome that. BTW it's nowhere near supposed to be impossible for a plane to sustain 9G without bleeding speed or even accelerating, many fighters especially the rather small, light and powerful ones (Gripen, F16, Rafale, Mirage 2000 etc) can do so in some areas of their flight domain. It's not always at a speed that gives it a great turn rate tho. I can't find anything as to why the Gripen would have a more laminar flow than others but what certainly helps it with drag is the close coupled canards that help arranging the airflow over the wing like on the Rafale, and it's light weight. F16, Rafale and Gripen displays for example are more dynamic and seem to bleed less airspeed than heavier F15, Su27 etc because they're lighter, it's easier to manover a knife than a middle age sword, it has less momentum

[@christianm1533]

FoxMikeHotel: Stall of wing flow is not the same as stall speed of the aircraft. But stalling the aircraft usually means that the wing has stalled the airflow. The opposite does not apply. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_mechanics). First line: "In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases" "Stalls depend only on angle of attack, not airspeed" "The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient. This is also called the "stall angle of attack". Below the critical angle of attack, as the angle of attack increases, the lift coefficient increases. Conversely, above the critical angle of attack, as angle of attack increases, the air begins to flow less smoothly over the upper surface of the airfoil and begins to separate from the upper surface." When you delaminate flow, the wing has technically stalled. Does not matter if that happens at supersonic speed and the aircraft has plenty of energy to regain normal flight as AoA returns. And no, underpressure by delamination does not make a wing fly better. It means it's loosing massive amounts of energy to create lift it cannot. It is still creating lift, but not nearly as efficient as it should be. Hence the massive underpressure pocket and turbulence. And yes, you are loosing massive amounts of energy to gain the pointing nose capability. Maybe you should actually learn fluid dynamics? Aerodynamics is mostly a subset of fluid dynamics. Technically Gripen hasn't more laminar flow by drag coefficient aerodynamics only. The flight system does not allow normally allow turning faster than that the wing would maintain nominal airflow and maximize energy momentum. Double D Canard configuration help with lift when turning. Gripen has the largest canard proportional canard size of all Double D canard aricraft. Which should be more than enough.

@@christianm1533 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKzemNsltCDfas well, I dunno then... seemed to me that it only depends on pressure and humidity...

[@christianm1533]

@@krylatich: I said hard pressed, not impossible. It's still physics. :) And that is a vapor vortex from the front, not an underpressure pocket over the main wing. You can easily see that by the pulsating appearance and disappearance of the vapor. A high AoA when creating alpha will lead to that pocket, you'll also see a much "heavier" turning. Like butt-heavy. Vapor vortexes are not the same. You'll see vapor vortexes from the F-18 LERX:s for example. Bleeding energy when turning with an underpressure pocket happens over the main wing and can be pretty visible in dry conditions and clear sky. Of course moisture helps to see both phenomenons.

Such a wonderful feeling to hear and feel those magnificent airplanes as they roar high above the houses. Always thought it to be a really cool sight.

This is the hell of the good pilot. Well done sir!

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

Probably the best looking jet fighter ever built IMHO.

[@marcandsebe]

That's one of the best flying KZbin videos I've seen. Great to see the G meter and how it's even strenuous for a trained pilot. I'm sure I would just pass out at 9G.

[@MadX8]

If you're not trained, you would pass out before 9G. I know I would haha

[@CaptainGuntu]

I like how you can occasionally hear the terrain warning system telling him to pull up.

[@JM_Smith1]

Other video makers take note..this is how you do it.. natural sound of aircraft + pilot = perfection.. absolutely loved it

[@GerbenWijnja]

What a beautiful and awesome plane! I wish we were getting Gripen's instead of those lousy JSFs in the Netherlands. By the way at 4:54 I never realized how much negative G's a pilot needs to push when banking while flying upside down. But it makes sense, the lift vector points from the seat up, so you need generate much more lift to compensate for the sideslip. Tack så mycket Saab, this was very educational! :-)

[@MillionFoul]

While Gripens are great jets, they don't really fit the tactical needs of the Netherlands, and won't have the same level of interoperability with your allies. Plus, as cool as some of the things they can do are, it doesn't change the fact that a single F-35 could almost certainly down an entire flight of Gripens (or any other 4.5th gen) by itself. It's a shame that 5th generation fighter combat doesn't place as much emphasis on looking good and doing cool shit, but cool unfortunately doesn't win wars.

[@MillionFoul]

The F-35 carries more munitions than the Gripen C (and presumably the NG as well), while carrying more fuel, and is a better jet in every metric at combat loading, and there is definitely nothing light about it. The only fighter which out-payloads it in NATO inventory is the F-15E. It also costs about the same flyaway, and has a massive support network behind it due to over 800 of them being planned for export, largely to Europe. With such small production numbers, Saab simply cannot hope to match the logistics network, or have interoperability with all of their allies. When both you and your allies are all using F-35s, you don't even have to flick a switch for them to automatically share data, and two disparate supply lines can be combined, reducing logistical load. Remember, wars are not won by any equipment, but the logistics train behind them. The F-35's per flight hour cost is dropping sharply, and considering air-frame hours are limited on all aircraft, most people are excited F-35's have a full fidelity simulator for their pilots to train in, rather than wasting flight hours and money on real aircraft. You are entitled to have a differing opinion to military planners, though, so have fun with it.

[@slashusr]

Fantastic! Both the airplane and pilot. Great!

[@n1msu]

This is also the first video I've seen and I've seen many, where the pilot is pulling g's throughout the whole video, that must be absolutely exhausting; even on his landing you could tell he still didn't seem to have fully recovered. What a guy!

[@johnc.bojemski1757]

Love how SAAB incorporated twin rearview automobile style mirrors into their design. No need for the pilot to have to "throw a switch" or take hand off the "stick" and keep his eyes completely forward. Very simple and elegant solution. Typically SAAB.

[@parkflyerindonesia]

I play some good dogfight simulators and fly RC parkjets with onboard FPV cam. Watching this pilot performing high speed and high G turns just feet away from the ground, gave me goosebumps. It's just beyond crazy. Endless kudos for the pilot. Warning voices telling him to pull up or pull down while he's maneuvering close to the ground many times, showing it's a near death experience, with a second or less mistake happened, things could just be a complete disaster. Gripen NG is one of few jets that I admire eventhough it's a 4th gen but in the hands of an ace pilot, a dogfight could be a different story. Welldone Saab, for designing such beauty jetfighter that carries outstanding flight envelope as well. I could only dream flying one.
