I met John and knew him for a short time before he died. He was indeed
a no nonsense guy and probably one of the finest *pure sticks I've
ever known if not THE best. His coffers were filled with the names of
the best fighter pilots in the world who he converted on from allowing
them a starting position at his six while flying the Hun. His on going
bet was 40 seconds, and to my knowledge he was never beaten nor has
his record ever been topped for conversion air to air 1V1.
I did a bit of research flying as a civilian in T38's that involved EM
while working on inertial coupling departure and John gave us a
beautiful photograph of my airplane in flight signed by him.
It hangs on our den wall.
Great guy, and along with E.T. Christie and Rutowski from Douglas,
probably some of the finest aviation minds of our time.

Maxie, you really HAVE to get rid of that mirror of yours.

You asked a question. I thought I could answer it. I got it wrong but I'd
like another go!

You don't give altitude so I will assume it. You made me re-examine
where I went wrong with Ps. And look up some F-14 specs. Specific excess
power Ps is delta energy with delta time. Accounting for induced drag
which the question focuses on then (assumming weight is approx 55 klbs)
at that state I say you would get acceleration.

Going over the various possibilities it seemed (not entirely sure) that
greater thrust should encounter even greater drag and so airspeed could
fall. Am I getting closer?

Unless energy management systems have been rewritten.

You missed the term "increasing" I'm afraid. 5.5 squared is 30.5,
which is fine for pure math, but not fine for a turning F14 with
a linear expanding g profile.
The 25 figure as stated in the assumption is correct within the
problem.

Fun isn't it?

Sir, please sir. The Ps value is far too low.

Good try but no cigar I'm afraid. No Ps value is possible for ANY
aircraft without the inclusion of altitude in the equation.
Ps can be positive or negative anywhere in the envelope not on the
Ps0 line for the aircraft, BUT establishing that Ps value in any
turn is directly related to the altitude where the turn parameters
are in play.

I see that now. Ok. My mistake.

That's for a John Boyd! What a maverick. I couldn't hope to match his
stunts to highlight E-M.

Sorry for my offensive post. Things have been nuts around here lately
with all these characters and I thought you might be another one :-)

Yes, your second try is exactly right. In the example given, if the g
is decreased the Turkey will accelerate which is the answer to the
first question, and if the g is increased, airspeed will fall victim
to drag.

Another way to present the "problem" would be as follows, only this
time including the altitude which as you have correctly surmised,
gives us a Ps figure for the F14. In our example, the Turkey is at T-
D=0 which = Ps=0 or on the Ps equals zero line for the F14.

An F14 at 420 KCAS, 15K, in a level turn at military. As the g is
increased, drag increases as it's square. At about 5.5g, induced drag
has increased by a factor of 25. At this point, T-D=0 and Ps=0. If g
is decreased the F14 will accelerate. If we pull harder, airspeed will
drop off.

Thank you for explaining your post instead of reacting to my over
aggressive response to you.

That would help.

Highly regarded by his peers, it's a shame the top brass dragged their
feet in praising John Boyd.

I guess the top brass value compliance before competence. I guess they
might have to behave like that to maintian order. Hard to forgive them
for it though.

John did indeed have a "way" about him with superior officers. They
hated his guts but couldn't deny his work. That's a hard platform to
maintain. He's fortunately gotten his just due now with the AF.

DH, thanks for the explanation. *No problem with your hasty reaction.
Ari can be a little hasty too. *Service leaves some with PTSD and
others, like Ari, with sharpened responses.

One should not seek to blame former combatants for a normal reaction
to the abnormal circumstances they have dealt with. *Civilians devalue
quick decisive responses because many who have never seen action learn
to value politeness even if masks ineffectiveness.

In the past, Ari has given me texts on aircraft dynamics and answered
a lot of my technical questions. It's where most of my A.D. theory
comes from. *He's a good guy. *Just ignore his direct manner because
those same reflexes are what make him good in a crisis.

I looked you up. You have quite a background in E-M.

Franklin

With all the fuss that's going on in the forum these days I'm not
quite sure who Ari is or why he posts under me in such an aggressive
manner. I've just assumed he was one more of the trolls attacking me
each day or even the same one with a different handle.
As the founder of a service organization I have a great deal of
personal respect for any vet. Perhaps whatever it was that angered him
will work itself out.
I'll give it a shot anyway, on your authority :-)

****, warped conceptions to hear Boyd's swooners he invented energy

Knew little about energy tactics, energy fighting. Show me his initials

He never fired in enemy combat. The rhetoric about pilots that were
allegedly involved in everything aviation-related is historical
bull****. Contributions, goodie. The rest.....
