On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

Aerospace Engineer here. Canards by themselves are not the determining factor when it comes to stealth. The shape of them, how well they are integrated into the airframe, the angles and deformations made in their rotation, and the surface materials are all going to play a part in how it reflects, scatters, and absorbs radar waves. Therefore, it is not that canards are or are not inherently stealthy, it is how they are constructed and integrated with the rest of the airplane that will determine it.

[@AB-yn2rz]

Yeah makes no sense coz they don't seem too much different from vertical stabilisers or wing leading edges in ways they may contribute to radar return.

[@heyidiot]

Everything else being equal however, they certainly can't make an aircraft _more_ stealthy. IOW, a stealthy canard may be... a _canard?_

If someone developed a special device that mimicked the radar from a Fox3 and placed it on some sort of dummy missile that loitered in the battle space and just stayed locked on the enemy aircraft for a long period of time.

All things being equal, canards are less stealthy than traditional horizontal stabilizers, at least in front aspect. This is because they are your primary maneuvering surface and are constantly changing aspect WRT the radar lighting them up. Traditional horizontal stabs are shadowed by the wings and so there is more radar energy scattered prior to hitting the big stabilizer plate. But with a canard, the whole thing is face on to the radar without the wing helping to mask it.

Even though you beat him, I think the J-20 did quite well evading a bunch of missiles shot at decent ranges. Especially on the final approach, your radar straggled to keep a continuous lock on him, to the point where you saw him a few times before the radar got anything.

Day 7 of asking for F-16 vs Jeff BVR

[@humz99]

that would be interesting to watch considering the jeff is suppose to be a level above the f16

[@michagysin3082]

the jeffs performance is not even nearly as good as thef16s performance considering thrust to weight and top speed@@humz99

I'd like to see Eurofighter vs F-15 since they both have powerful radars

[@crimsonmoongaming4512]

Second and can we see f22 vs Chinese carrier

[@pablovelazquez5666]

Was stationed at Clark AFB during a red flag. The 15s were picking up the passenger buses traveling thru the mountains

[@garrett6118]

I want to see a live shot of this guy flying an actual jet. I’d pay to send him up in an f16 to fly it

[@WocketInMyPocket_]

You should use this island and simulate an invasion of Taiwan. One carrier fleet trying to hold off the invasion till the rest of the fleet arrives. Turn it into a series maybe? 🤔

[@laaams]

GS: "The F-15s have powerful radar" Mig-31: shows up...

[@greatBLT]

...then disintegrates

[@Paul_Sergeyev]

Hey! Could you please fly an I-16 against a Raptor?

[@kickmcmelon18]

Bro when the j20 first comes up at 1:00 it sounded like the cartoon jetsons cars😂😂😂 im crying 😂

[@shikai1169]

can you fly the j20 please? it would be beneficial for everyone to see its capabilities.

[@HagbardCeline23]

"If I could throw sand in his face I would" - that was hilarious (and true)

[@carltanner9065]

The secondary bang was most likely his spare missiles going off. The 15 really needs the 260. Having long range kill capability will take advantage of the radar's range.

[@Asghaad]

depending on the oponent all it will do is making you waste missiles shooting at target you arent going to hit

[@adamrickman2461]

120Ds as well

[@DChrls]

The J-20 didn't disintegrate, it activated it's cloaking mode.😉

[@CNCTEMATIC]

I imagine canards can be as stealthy as horizontal stabilisers or wings - I dont think one can judge stealth from a plane's physical configuration, its more the whole package, and I think very few people outside aerospace experts with high clearances actually understand how it works

[@tomas7158]

True. Its about how the wave bounces off.

[@Kyson-go9nm]

Great episode and already 2k subs in two days keep up the great work

[@sephuris5555]

According to militaryembedded the j20 has a radar cross section of 1m2 to 3m2 this the size of 4 gen fighter

[@baronmonkerson2195]

Probably not true.....ANY stealth or low observable aircraft brought out by any country that is NOT the USA is ALWAYS described as being "as stealthy as a 4th gen fighter" lol

[@lolasdm6959]

makes no sense, it doesn't have 90 degree angles it would be less even without the paint.

5:00 All I could think of in that moment is Dale from KotH, “Pocket sand!”

"Staying at a pretty low altitude" He says as he's almost touching the water

[@adamchilton6652]

Its awesome how GS grunts when he fires a fox 3 like there's a physical strain to get the missile off. I do the same thing when I hit a power-chord on my guitar.

[@jeadelmann90]

Was he an actual pilot at some point?

remark: you had him on radar at around 8 minutes. your radar was set to 20 miles, then only 10 miles with super search! he was outside the scale, indicated by the small marker on top of the screen

4:45 One of the most basic things about any kind of combat is to never get into a fair fight. You don't stand on 11 when the dealer has a king.

The Patton quote is one of my favorites.

[@Nathan-vt1jz]

“I’m pretty low altitude…” GS is like 20 ft off the ocean and getting the low altitude warning.

Glad to see the channel grow this stuff kicks butt

You should do a comparison between the F-15E and the F-15EX
