Fighter jets need to slow down at certain times, such as landing, Huaxia fighters like to use parachutes, while the West prefers to use speed brakes.

It's very simple, the speed brake is actually to erect a board on the fuselage to increase air resistance, and you can slow down, the F-15 and Su-27 in the third generation aircraft are all set up with a speed brake on the back of the aircraft.

And the Tomcat fighter, in the rear of the fuselage, near the hanging tail, is set up with a speed brake.

When Nathan pushed the throttle to a slow state, the fighter immediately entered a deceleration state due to the loss of power, and when the speed brake was opened, the speed was suddenly reduced.

At this time, on the Tomcat fighter behind him, the pilot nicknamed the Owl was about to lock on to the opponent with a missile, as long as there was a long sound of a Sidewinder missile locking in the headset, it would be considered the end of a drill, and then the two sides would drive it, and then come a second time.

At this moment, he found that the flame on the tail of the fighter in front of him suddenly became smaller, and the other party actually turned the engine to the slow train? Thought you could dodge the rattlesnake's seeker lock?

Impossible.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the fighter plane in front of him swish, and it became larger sharply, and in an instant he understood something, this Nathan, what was he going to do?

He quickly pulled the lever and began to climb upwards.

Just now, the target suddenly became bigger because the other party suddenly slowed down! He actually released the speed brake, and seeing that the two planes were about to collide, at this time, the owl could only quickly pull up!

The Tomcat fighter, which was rapidly getting bigger, disappeared from his field of vision, and at the same time, the owl was already feeling bad in his heart.

The other party ran behind him!

Before the advent of the seeker in the infrared focal plane, tail chase attacks have always been the most effective attack method of infrared bombs, and whoever can bite the opponent's tail will get the opportunity to fire.

If you look at it from a distance, you can see that the Tomcat fighter in front of it suddenly slowed down, and the one behind it, with a whoosh, flew out from in front of it, completing the offensive and defensive transformation in an instant.

Of course, the owl is not a vegetarian either, and when he judged that Nathan was behind him, the owl immediately fought back.

The two TF30 engines, light blue flames came out, afterburner opened, and this Tomcat fighter quickly climbed upward!

In later generations, the Cobra maneuvered to become famous, and this over-stalling maneuver was considered a way to get a chance to fire, and in fact, no one would do it.

In addition to the complex constraints that can only be done by performing aircraft, and more importantly, the maneuver loses speed.

Speed means energy, and the sky over the battlefield in Vietnam illustrates the importance of energy in air combat, and this way of landing your own speed is simply suicide.

Nathan's fighter jet was slowing down, while the owl's fighter in front of him immediately increased his speed, and as the afterburner was fully opened, the surging thrust pushed the huge Tomcat fighter to climb upward.

Come on, you're coming!

The owl knows that now his energy is more than Nathan's, as long as Nathan catches up, then Nathan will be fooled, even if Nathan also drives afterburner, he can't catch up with the owl, when Nathan's fighter is short of energy, it can only fall, and when the time comes, the owl can easily swoop down and enter the tail chase state again.

This kind of scissor climbing maneuver is a comparison of whose power is enough.

"He didn't catch up." In the midst of the huge overload, the radar officer in the back seat looked hard and saw only the Tomcat fighter that had escaped its own attack, still flying horizontally, and did not catch up at all.

Was he just content to get rid of himself? This Nathan has always been said to be the most cunning pilot, but I didn't expect that he is also a cautious and cautious guy, since he is so cautious, then he has to be bolder.

The second attack, here begins!

The owl pushes the lever and the fighter dives down again and pounces on Nathan's fighter!

At this time, Nathan actually made a mistake, he made a rolling move, trying to get rid of it, but just exposed his chrysanthemum, and the owl skillfully chased after it, aiming, tracking, locking!

It only takes three seconds!

Unknowingly, the owl instinctively pushed the lever and followed the other party to steer, and the radar officer in the back seat reminded him loudly: "Don't hover horizontally with it!" ”

Nathan just now is not avoiding the war at all, but designing traps!

The speed of Nathan's fighter still hadn't been raised, and he didn't intend to raise it, and when the fighter behind caught up with him, the two fighters immediately spun in circles in the horizontal plane!

This is a comparison of horizontal circles, and the simplest truth is that the smaller the velocity, the smaller the radius of the circle.

The owl was tricked, although he was chasing Nathan's plane, but he was chasing farther and farther, because he couldn't turn the other party at all!

"He actually took advantage of the thrust difference of the engine to steer! Isn't he afraid of stalling and crashing? At this point, the owl's eyes widened and he cried out in surprise in the overload.

If you want to turn the smallest circle, in addition to the low speed, you have to think of other ways, because the two engines of the Tomcat fighter are far apart, so when the thrust of the two engines is different, you can turn without moving the rudder surface.

Now, Nathan used all means to steer, including turning the outside engine thrust to the maximum, keeping the inside engine slow, and in the midst of the unbelievable, the Tomcat fighter with its wings spread out made a dashing turn in the sky with a minimum radius and circled behind the owl.

The owl is circling, and his speed has decreased again, and he can't get rid of it!

If the thrust-to-weight ratio of the whole aircraft is more than 1, it can climb effortlessly, but now, two planes with the same energy have an advantage over the stable disk, and it is always the fighter behind that has an advantage!

Nathan looked at the chrysanthemum of the Tomcat fighter that was close at hand, at this time, there was no need for the Sidewinder missile to lock on, and he could bomb it down with the cannon himself!

"Throw in the towel, owl." Nathan shouted over the radio.

Although he is a veteran flying bird, it is not surprising that he was cleaned up by a rookie, after all, Nathan is not an ordinary rookie, and is recognized as a flying genius.

As long as you admit defeat now, then the two sides will pull away and start again.

"No!" As soon as he finished speaking, Nathan let out a scream.
