In aerobatics, the cobra maneuver (or just the cobra), also called dynamic deceleration, [1] among other names (see § Etymology), is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate speed abruptly raises its nose momentarily to a vertical and slightly past vertical attitude, causing an extremely high angle of attack and making the plane into a full-body air brake ...
The fighter has supermaneuverability, capable of performing the Cobra maneuver. [ 54 ] J-10C : An upgraded version of J-10B, it is equipped with an indigenous AESA fire-control radar and is equipped with imaging infrared seeker (IIR) PL-10 , WS-10B engine [ 55 ] and PL-15 air-to-air missiles.
However, as supermaneuverability itself is defined, the ability of an aircraft to perform high alpha maneuvers that are impossible for most aircraft is evidence of the aircraft's supermaneuverability. Such maneuvers include Pugachev's Cobra and the Herbst maneuver (also known as the "J-turn").
The unconventional wing design also had the side effect of making it the first known aircraft to be capable of and perform the Cobra maneuver. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] It was also one of the first Western-European-built aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in level flight, [ 11 ] reaching it on January 14, 1960.
In World War I aerial combat, [1] an Immelmann turn was a maneuver used after an attack on another aircraft to reposition the attacking aircraft for another attack. After making a high-speed diving attack on an enemy, the attacker would then climb back up past the enemy aircraft, and just short of the stall, apply full rudder to yaw his ...
The Herbst maneuver (also known as a J-turn [1] [2]) is an air combat maneuver that uses post-stall technology such as thrust vectoring and advanced flight controls to achieve high angles of attack. [3] The Herbst maneuver allows an aircraft to quickly reverse direction using a combination of high angle-of-attack and rolling.
Blue Cross Blue Shield payments to about 6 million people are set to go out more than two years after the health insurer reached a $2.67 billion settlement with subscribers.
The N-300 further evolved into the P-530 Cobra, which uses 13,000 lbf (58 kN) GE15-J1A5 engines, with a very small 0.25:1 bypass ratio leading to the nickname "leaky turbojet". [2] The bypass air was required for cooling the afterburner and nozzle and the cool bypass duct surface allowed the engine bay to be constructed of lighter, cheaper ...
