uh sorry, wavelength of Microwave is 1m not 10m.
Anyone has pictures of MiG-1.42 flying? They are actually available on Veniks site, which show the MFI flying from various angles, but are extremly low resolution. Any one has the high resolution ones?
Is this board dead?
No... just hibernating. ;)
anyone have any idea weather the mig 1.42 can really hover a target for pinpoint accuracy?
No, it is not STOVL capable.
really?i read from some sources like janes weekly that the plane can hover over a target for pinpoint accuracy!
Yes, it's true. The closest I've read about to
oh well,wat a sad thing to no.the mig is a good one,isn't it?
High AOA manuevering and super manueverability cannot be underestimated. A F/A 18 can come close to a hover counteracting a stall with it's thrust at extremely low speeds by going into a 45 degree AOA. Think what the newly announced LFI will do!
The site Tiger mentioned, provides a lot of info on these stuffs.

that is that it was intended to have high AOA
capability like the Flanker series aircraft.
However, high AOA maneuvers are neither
conducive to bombing or aerial combat
(except to avoid stall), and the airframe itself
only has around 1 or 2 hours of flight time on
it.
MIG abandoned the project after it realized that
nobody wanted the aircraft; savvy political
maneuvering by Sukhoi killed any hope of the
MIG ever being developed into a production
model. I believe that MIG has relegated the
aircraft to service as an engine testbed.
Tiger, out.
