VENOM RIP

[@skyhorseprice6591]

What kinda amazes me is the F-5's agility, which for it's time was better than most of its adversaries other than SU-27 & Mig 29. The F-5 has to have pretty high wing loading because of the short wings, which typically in a fighter of that era indicates an interceptor with horrible dogfighting capability. F-5 though, if you look at it from beneath, has a wide, flat area where the wings blend into the fuselage. Most fighter jets of the time were basically engine tubes with swept wings tacked on; the F-5 appears to have some lifting body elements to it's design.

[@ultimateswarm7868]

The F5 was designed in the 50s. It is a 3rd generation airframe design and a pair of highly inefficient afterburning turbojet engines. The f16 was designed in the 70s, and is a 4th generation air frame with an unstable design and a fly by wire system (maximizes airframe performance). It uses a modern (4th gen engine with 5th gen technology and development added over many iterations) single low bypass afterburning turbofan (specific fuel consumption is massively improved in transonic flight as compared to a turbojet). The F5 was/is never going to achieve the performance needs of the modern US air force with such a small airframe, inferior aerodynamic performance, and inefficient low thrust engines. Airframe performance more or less peaked with 4th generation airframe design and at this point digital technology, weapon systems, stealth, and engines are the leading point of performance improvements. The F5 is not large enough to support these developments and the airframe would have to be completely redone, basically it would not be the F5 anymore. The closest example would be the F-CK-1 as far as a modern F5 design is concerned, which is like an f16 and an F5 had a child, cool plane, check it out if you haven’t seen it.

Sorry about the vague phrasing. The classified "it" in this context refers to all performance and technical data on the F-20 program, which Iran could use to buff up their museum-piece F-5's into a top tier threat again, and is also the info you would need to code a high-fidelity DCS Module.

[@That70sGuitarist]

After the US bailed and Vietnam was reunited, their government gifted the Soviet Union with a bunch of F-5's, and the Soviets did a very extensive test program on them. Most of their MiG-21 pilots actually preferred the F-5 over their own planes, although there were some complaints that it needed more thrust. I don't know about you, but I find it more than a little strange that the enemy liked the F-5 better than the US government did.🤣 Still one of the prettiest birds that ever flew, though. The E/F Tiger II models had closer to 1-1 thrust at combat weight, making it even better in close-in fights, which is why Nellis and Miramar started using them as aggressors, after all.
