:blink: This is a real USSR fighter jet in stunts
but I'm sure a skilled model pilot can pull this off with a model jet fighter
Watch this video WARNING it's looks kind of :yickes: SCARY.

feel free to ciomment about this.
mine is why I thinking that the jet is looking out of contrl.

:bigplane: Ckeck out the SU 37.

it looks like the pilot is drunk on voka..

He looks highly skilled to me... :D

Certainly looks impressive. I"m not a military weapons expert by any stretch of the imagination, BUT, with all the anti-aircraft missles, and modern technololgy that would be shooting at it. , is the ability to be acrobatic really an advantage? Lots of scarey stuff out there. :newstuff:

My Hair will be white if I was in the jet..

I sure the pilot would be pulling his hair out if you were in that jet with him. <_<

Knowing You Justin you be pulling that kind of stunts.

Actually, YES! In battle, the ability to do some of those stunts will give that fighter pilot the edge over those who can't! With thrust vectoring nozzles on their engines, those jets can do things that seem to defy gravity and the normal laws of physical flight.

At air shows the Russians like to show off their latest fighter's capabilities like what you saw in that video. They stunned the world several years ago with the "Super Cobra" maneuver done with a Su-37. It just was never done before...

In the Super Cobra maneuver, the aircraft enters with a speed of 400 kmh and is pulled through to an alpha of 135 deg. (It's now flying forward with the nose lagging behind the tail!) Then it recovers to the vertical and is held in place for 4-6 seconds. The nose is then allowed to fall forward to the horizontal position, emerging at 150 kmh with no loss of height. The jet "strikes — like the strike of a cobra!

The US has vector nozzles on the incredible Raptor, which has the capabilities to do those same seemingly impossible maneuvers.
