aerobatic power to weight ratio
Hi,
I've noticed in the videos at www.fulldeflection.com that all the top aerobatic aicraft, such as the Sukhoi SU-31, Egde 540, Extra 300, etc., can almost hover. It seems that within a few years they will be able to climb on power alone. Aerobatics will look completely different once that occurs. Can you imagine Svetlana Kapanina hovering her Sukhoi for a couple of minutes at 300', then reversing down to an even lower altitude. I can imagine Peter Besenyei performing the perfect square shaped hover in his Extra 540. Is this technically feasible, or have the aircraft already reached a developmental limit ? Superdoof. |
