FIGHTER JET THREAD
BRING YOUR A-10S F-16S AND RAPTORS
(World War 2 and Vietnam also)
P-51 Mustang of course
crazy fucken technology for the time

What did he mean by this?
>>33694347
Are you claiming the a-10 isn't a fighter jet?

what
>>33694355
A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft,[1] as opposed to bombers and attack aircraft, whose main mission is to attack ground targets. The hallmarks of a fighter are its speed, maneuverability, and small size relative to other combat aircraft.

I intended for this to be a general military aircraft thread
I wasn't expecting any more than for /k/ to jump on my ass for not checking my post, kek
>>33694372
>ho ho!
>I just wanted a shooty plane thread!
>Didn't think I had to bother properly defining aircraft....on /k/
It helps if you lurk for more than a week, child.

Go cry to mommy.

>i talk shit online because i have no real life
grow up manchild
>>33694335
There, have a jungle multirole instead.
Full bays coming thru
>>33694335
Uh, I guess an A-10 would kick the ass of a Super Tuncano, so it /could/ be used as a fighter, but not a very good one.

That fucking angle of attack...

>>33694559
>>33694563
WHHAAT are you doing here??
>>33694568
>>33694574
>>33694574
Bring it on.
>>33694556
b52 has an extremely high angle of incidence, so it can actually fly at a fairly large negative angle of attack at higher speeds.
>>33694603
lol wut?
>>33694631
Like a fighter it handles not.
>>33694631
AOA is defined by the chord line vs the relative wind. Angle of incidence has nothing to do with it.
>>33694635
I see no air to air missiles on that toy. ;)

Instead of just having a thread about jets
>>33694660
The USAF considers A-10 pilots fighter pilots.
>>33694670
There's an F in 117. So that's nice.
>>33694649
and thats where you are wrong, when talking about the aircraft as a whole the angle of attack is actually defined as the angle the fuselage makes with the airflow.
>>33694660
this is now a full bays thread
>>33694676
That's angle of incidence.
>>33694675
All the F-117 drivers I know flew fighters before and after their Bandit time.
Vertical VTOL. Because you can.
>>33694689
Wait I read your post again. Angle of attack has always been defined as relative to the chord line, not the waterline to me in all my USAF aircrew academics.
>>33694688
>>33694701
guys shut up and post these bellies full of missles
>>33694689
whatever dude
Here shippy shippy, come to daddy.
FUCKING BORDERS
BUDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
