Until recently, the German Luftwaffe have performed the maneuver with Cold-War era MiG-29s (for example at the air show for the Royal Dutch Airforce at Gilze-Rijen Airforce Base, in 2002).

For a Cobra is TVC not necessary! Not sure what the purposes of these parts are. A fighter without speed and agility is more likely to become the hunted instead of the hunter. Note that the F-22 is not alone in performing fake Cobra's, Su-30's performs similar maneuvers at airshows where it uses its thrust vectoring to maneuver at stall speeds but still calls it Cobra. Let's review: "it's thing" means "it is thing" and makes you look like a moron, while "its thing" makes "thing" a property or posession of "it". Features such as large control surfaces which provide more force with less angular change from neutral which minimizes separation of airflow, The theory behind canards as the sole elevator surface is that no elevator configuration aft of the wings is truly satisfactory for maneuvering purposes; the airflow over the wings creates turbulence, however small, and thus affects elevators placed directly behind the wings. Most aircraft are designed to be stable and easily recoverable in such a situation; the aircraft will pitch nose-down so that the angle of attack of the wings is reduced to match the aircraft's current direction (known technically as the velocity vector), restoring normal airflow over the wings and control surfaces and enabling controlled flight.A supermaneuverable aircraft allows the pilot to maintain at least some control when the aircraft stalls, and to regain full control quickly. Its basically always referred to as the cobra maneuver or simply just the cobra.--The following Wikimedia Commons file used on this page or its Wikidata item has been nominated for deletion: An aircraft that stable at slow speeds may not be stable at high speeds.

Then have a second section which talks about the maneuver as performed by other aircraft. SU-37 Doing The Cobra Maneuver.

This requires compromises as aircraft engineers prioritize one factor over another.

It is NOT possible to do Pugachev's Cobra in the "MiG-29" per se, because that aircraft is traditional hydro-mechanic steering. Das Manöver kann nur von wenigen militärischen Strahlflugzeugen geflogen werden. Follow. :-) Made Hook a redlink too, I wonder if there's much written on that subject? In the case of the Su-27, the pilot initially disengages the angle of attack limiter of the plane, normally set at 26°. A cobra is not initiated via thrust vectoring, it is initiated by elevator control and the fast change of alpha comes from an instability in the aircraft, not avionics. Eurofighter (Typhoon) hard maneuvers, awesome performance المقاتلة الاوروبية . High power aircraft can complicate one's understanding, since angle of attack is measured against relative airflow, so a big powerful fighter aircraft flying straight up in a steady climb (not a zoom climb) at 250 knots with a headwind of, say, 10 knots, would have a pitch angle of 90 degrees, but an angle of attack of only 3 or 4 degrees, since the ambient 10 knot wind in the air is contributing very little to the relative wind which would becoming mostly from the 200 knot flow over the wings from the steady climb. In addition to this, the ability of an aircraft to utilize a thrust to weight ratio of greater than 1, and to use thrust vectoring complicates the discussion of aerodynamics considerably. I'm obviously not an expert, but I do believe that shooting and hitting had some trifeling tactical significance. Blockhaj 17:46, 24 October 2019 (UTC) Move to Cobra maneuver. If you look at actual footage of the Cobra performed by jets such as the Su-27 or Saab 35 and compare them to the stall climbs of the F-22 you can easily spot the difference. As the aircraft changes direction, its centrifugal force (measured in Gs) can far exceed that of the earth's gravity. Mainly due to Pugachev not inventing the maneuver but also because nobody ever calls it Pugachev's Cobra. Anyway ... any pilot out there who has flown a Harrier or F-22 or other vector thrust plane (no flight simmers please) to help this article out?

Where does this (dis)information come from? Actualy I have seen it for real, and to be honest pilot nearly crash.

SU-37 Doing The Cobra Maneuver. The jet appears to be climbing, but the low quality makes it difficult to tell. SU-37 Doing The Cobra Maneuver. To that design, features are then added that allow the pilot to actively control the aircraft while in the stall, and retain or regain forward level flight in an extremely shallow band of altitude that surpasses the capabilities of pure aerodynamic maneuvering. Instead of being You have to realize that Top Gun is not an accurate representation. Beginning in the late fourth-generation and through Generation 4.5 of aircraft development, advances in engine efficiency and power enabled many fighters to approach and exceed thrust-to-weight ratios of 1:1. Sounds very illogical. After a split second, he re-applies thrust and tilts the plane downward again.
