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?_

How is the EX obsolete when its first flight was in 2021

[@kylelantan9220]

@@ThatOneBoomer_Hehe I believe the thought behind that is because the first f-15 was a 1969 concept. The EX may be newly built craft, but the thinking is that non stealth minded aircraft may struggle in peer/near-pear conflicts.

Another advantage of the Strike Eagle over the J-20 (apart from greater armament capacity) is that it actually has a gun. So if everyone runs out of missiles before the fight is over, you can get up close for an easy gun kill. ;)

[@diondixon3349]

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.

No, for a plethora of reasons. Two main: 1) it has poor flight performances, no afterburner, no capability to sustain hard turns, no supersonic capabilities. 2) it has no gun. Also, I don't think that the payload bays are equipped to embark AA missiles, and in any case it could embark only Sidewinders, lacking a radar.

[@apfelkopf_7617]

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.

Second and can we see f22 vs Chinese carrier

I’d love to see the tac view on that one! Great fight!

nice touch on one of general Patton's famous quotes! ♥️

[@JAnx01]

If canards are not stealthy then wings are the elephant in the room.

[@lolasdm6959]

if having canards make you not stealthy remove the wings it's a bigger canard.

[@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

Ruthless push at the end. Nice to see.

[@shikai1169]

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

[@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? 🤔

[@SeanP7195]

The Patton quote is one of my favorites.

[@ericcallender1575]

Hard fought. Thanks for sharing.

[@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.

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

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