What Is The Name Of The Plane That Can Fly On An Angle (read details)?

Question

I am NOT looking for the plane that can take off from the ground vertically...

Repeat NOT...

---

I am looking for (I believe it's a Canadian plane) that can be on an angle when it is in almost full speed while flying horizontally

Imagine a plane as this / (the top right being the nose... and the bottom left being the jets)
and it keeps on flying like that /////////////////////////

I also believe the wings are out completely to it's side when taking off... and the wings are all the way back when it is flying at top speeds (or this could be a different plane... but pretty sure it's the same one)

Apparently this is one of the most acrobatic planes in the world... I've seen it at air show but I can't find it on the internet

Alright thanks...

Answer 1

Like many others above, I too dont get head and tails [pun intended] of the question.

I must be a high Angle of Attack flypast that you are describing. Most modern aircrafts with good thrust-to-weight ratio can do it and thrust vectoring is not a requisite. Your mentioning of Variable Geometry is what makes it difficult to understand for they are not all that aerobatic.

My guess is that your aircraft is the Panavia Tornado (Being the only swing wing western aircraft in service and eliminating the Russian makes and the Aussie F-111)

The Sukhoi cobra maneuver is something like "__//|\\\\|//__"

Answer 2

There are a couple aircraft that all could be included watch you are taking above. The aircraft, if you are talking about a military jet, it probably had thrust vectoring. The Russians as much as I hate to admit have been renown for creating maybe the most acrobatic fighter planes in the world with the advent of Thrust Vectoring, the SU-37 is widely considered to be the most acrobatic fighter it has been capable of even temporarily flying backwords(Yes even more manueverable the the F-22 because of horizontal thrust vectoring too) And also able to maintain controllable flight at extreme Angles of Attack. But however the aircraft you are talking about "might" be the SU-47 Berkut Experimental go to this website to check it out might be it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-47

However NASA and other US Defense Contractors have developed airplanes that are extremely manueverable such as the F-16 Vista which was capable of spinning on a single axis while keeping its nose pointed at the enemy while its flying circles around it. By using not only vertical but horizontal thrust vectoring. Same things have happened to the F-15.

If not the website check out this section.

Hope this helps...

Answer 3

Jet aircraft equipped with Vectored Thrust nozzels can do that. F-18's (as posted in a previous reply) do that at a lower speed to maintain a proper angle of attack to stay airborn. NASA and the Airforce have equipped some F-15's and 16's and whatever else they can think of with the V.T. system. The Russian Mig 29? or the S-37 (I can't remember off the top of my head) can do that as well as the new American F-22 and F-35(comming soon!). Both are equipped with thrust vectoring nozzels. I'm pretty sure the Russians were first with this technology though!

Answer 4

Like Bitburger, I don't fully understand the question either, other than it must involve some extreme aerobatic maneuver that would be nice for a show, but seemingly worthless as a combat maneuver. Again, like Bitburger, I have often wondered what the "500 building" is.

Answer 5

any plane with the proper thrust to weight ratio can do this ive seen a blue angle f-18 do this at a slower speed

Answer 6

Sukhoi 26 MX doing a Knife-edge?

Give us more details about the plane. Is it a true Air-show plane or military? Jet/Prop? etc.

Answer 7

you're mixing up north-south with up-down. North isn't up and south isn't down. this is basically a map making (and globe making) convention to coach north on the suited. there is not any longer something approximately north that pronounces it ought to be up and a few uncommon previous maps have been drawn with south on the suited. Down is the path issues fall. close to Earth issues fall in direction of the middle of the Earth. yet close to the Moon issues fall in direction of the middle of the Moon. So once you're status on earth and drop a rock, it falls in direction of the middle of Earth, yet hits the floor in the past it could get there. That course is diverse for various places on earth. in case you're status on the north pole a falling rock falls in direction of the south pole, yet might might desire to pass each of how interior the direction of the Earth and out the different area to truly get there. And in case you're on the south pole the rock falls in direction of the north pole. yet the two rocks are incredibly basically attempting to fall to the middle of the Earth on the grounds that's the place gravity is pulling them in direction of. A airplane takes to the air, is going up, which means farther faraway from the middle of the Earth, and then suits sideways (parallel to the floor of the Earth) till it incredibly is over yet another place on earth, then is going closer to the middle of the Earth returned (down) till it touches the floor.

I think you might mean the Mig 29 performing a stop cobra manoeuvre..

Then at 4:30 you'll see what I mean.
