Are you a f*cking 14 year old? :biggrin2: Atleast get your math right.....

You have to be certainly deluded! I was referring to the M 1.5 supercruise speed! TWR is 1.15 - 1.17 as I have mentioned before. Even in the case of F 35A I have given TWR as 1.13. :blah:

Even F 22 has 1:1.25 TWR. From where did you pluck such apples of wisdom? Care to share some?

I was polite enough. However REEing here for simple miscalculations should not be expected of him.

Empty Weight = 22000 lbs Internal Fuel = 10300 lbs (50% = 5250 lbs) Engine Max Thrust = 2 x 7.5 t = 15000 Kg = (33069.339 lbs) MICA IR Missile Weight = 112 Kg (~ 247 lbs) Meteor Missile Weight = 190 Kg (419 lbs) Combat Load as per earlier snip @ 50% internal fuel : 22000 + 5250 + (4 *...

At 40% internal fuel. It gives 1:1.5. Refer this for your queries about Hornet vs SH. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.gao.gov/assets/230/227381.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjw2pXBxMjlAhVRWX0KHSb9CgQQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw0KJ_HxWSyfxIILZ8TCZxh5

Seeing is believing. BTW that F 35A had it's combat software still being worked on. The above clips demonstrate an F 35A closest to the final configuration.

The F 18 C/D is superior in all respects to the F 18 SH aerodynamically except the slow manuevering profile. Rafale has a near 1:1 weight when combat loaded with 100% fuel. At 50% fuel it achieves the 1:1.5 TWR. Check your numbers.....

Thrust to weight ratio shows the amount of vertical thrust that could be brought upon in that scenario. A simple Immelmann maneuver can be used to take to take a 'dip' to increase speed. That is greatly benefitted by the TWR. Drag of airframes like F 35 are balanced by flat body lift design...

F 35 has TWR is 1.13 - 1.16 using 40% internal fuel load which is still more than what most modern fighter jets can carry with 1 external fuel tank. Thus it is perfectly capable of supercruise. In the process you trim the afterburner to ~ 0 KN during transonic flight and you will be able to...
