I just want to note how dumb video games are, especially turn rates of airplanes. Here's a example.
Young's modulus of steel is 100 gpa. A f 14 wing is 200kg. That's a modulus of 20 tpa. A 1% deformation is bad. So 200gpa is about as bad as it gets.
The wing root is 10 cm and wings are 10m. The root is 1% the wing so it's really 1% of the deformation or 2gpa.
10 G is 10k KE times 200 weight or 2 mw. That's about 15 minutes it can sustain a turn.
Now the turn rate. A 10g turn is 100 m/s. The plane is 10 meters from center of gravity which is about 5 meters tall so this is a 200 m/s acceleration at the nose or wingtip.
Air is about a kilogram per cubic meter. The wing is about 30 m2 or 5 kg per m2 per side because each side is being dragged or pushed. Then towards the tip it gets thinner, maybe 1-2kg. That's 200 kg of air per kg of plane, per second. The air has 40kj of kinetic energy per kg. That's 10 mj of energy per kg of plane. That kg occupies about 100 cm2 so it's 100 mj per m2. Or 100 mpa.
Then with a 100 gpa Young's modulus and 1% deformation we can tolerate 1 gpa of force. That's about ten seconds of turn, which is about the time needed to do a 180 degree turn.
The 6g structural limit given by Grumman is the limit of what it can do to complete a full turn. It's implausible to turn a plane like in dcs, the air hitting the wing would break the plane.
All replies will be ignored as this is a retard board. Any post below is spam.
