Why does the VF-25 only have thrusters in the feet? How does

Don't all of them only have thrusters in the feet?

No, just about every VF has back thrusters as well

very slowly

That's the YF-25, though.

>>13646236
Same thing, really.

Thrust Vectoring rules the skies.

It doesn't. It also has thrusters in the rear section of GERWALK and battroid. It's those small six thrusters.

From episode 2 of Frontier.

Awfully tiny. How much thrust could they possibly put out?

Don't they angle the feet thrusters to the back if they want to move faster in gerwalk?

If the Ghosts' vernier thrusters, which should be around the same size, can let the Ghosts zigzag through the atmosphere with thrust alone, the tiny thrusters should be fine.

Okay.

Basicly this >>13646149
It's the same way how a helicopter accelerate.

The VF-1 has a top speed of 500 kmh in GERWALK mode, which is much faster than real-world current attack helicopters.

Successive VFs in GERWALK modes are even faster than the VF-1.

enough.
gerwalk is more about hovering and multi-angle maneuverability than outright forward motion.

between the thrust vectoring feet and the overall leg movement those little things to keep it moving forward should be fine for what gerwalk needs to do, especially when in 0-G environments where you don't need a lot of push to get moving at all.

according to mahq it says the vf-25 has around 25gs acceleration - or atleast that's the breaking point of the vf-25 airframe. comparatively the f-22 has a thrust to weight of 1.14gs.

so the thruster game in macross must be really good
