merckx Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 The sea is relatively flat, can they use a level of autopilot? This is the best I've seen, the sound needs to be on to fully appreciate it. The last plane comes down so low. . 2pK2YXR3BVY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Depends on how up to date the aircraft is, but if it has one you can silence it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I remember mountain biking in the Yorkshire Dales, we were at the top of a ridge and 2 Jaguars flew down the valley below us, it was amazing to see.

pedrosixfour Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yeah, not bad, I guess. I personally have flown an F-22 heavy underground. The mission called for a heavily defended tunnel to be navigated and the target within to be destroyed. After we dealt with the surrounding ground defences first of course. "Ace combat" - Squadron Leader for the PS2. A bloody good game! Can't wait for the PS3 offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Is anyone here actually a pilot? To me it looks easy to fly that low (if you can fly in the first place of course), but then you start thinking about relative air pressures needed above and below the wing to get lift and think maybe going that close to ground would really screw up that ratio and make it awfully unstable!!! Anyone actually know first hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Ground effect mate, at speed a cushion of air forms under the wing and airframe due to higher pressure air and the aircraft sits on that for want of a better word. Larger the plane/wing, larger the cushion. The old Buccaneer used to be the master of the low flaypast. And some larger planes have to be forced into the ground so efficient are flaps, slats etc nowadays. Search Ekranoplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
