Here's another e-mail I just got that I thought was pretty cool. Not sure how old it is. Below are some comments by French Aerodynamics Engineers.
- How can the jet engines continue to turn, practically without air feed?
- How the man and the machine can be held together during such a demonstration?
Needs to be empty at his descent? - The smoke from the tips of the wings is only there to show the direction of the plane
- As the smoke is released from the back, the plane is fast advancing.
- As the plane is wrapped in smoke, it means that the plane is nearly suspended in the air.
- The smoke and the smoke lines indicate the flight trajectory, sometimes in the opposite direction.
- This Fighter Jet can "unhook" at high speed
- Furthermore, it shows a capability to descend on its tail without causing a compressed unhooking.
- It can also recover from a flat cirrus in less than a minute.
- The handyness of this plane is astounding!
- Its self pick-up is simply huge
- Its manouvering abilities do not exist in any other aircraft at this time.
- It is practically impossible to beat this plane in a duel.
- Russia now has the best Fighter Jet in the world!
