thats pretty tight...good vid <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Where's LPE's 427 TT C5 now, huh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

 

Hard to compete with that!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

 

Um...Give me 4 and the move, I'll take him <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Sweet vid! Mach 1 one is about 700 mph!
Hey I bet alexWS6 has one hell of an et. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Wow! That is like 150,000 rwhp! Congrats! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

PURE TESTOSTERONE!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

Sweet!

what were those things he was dropping (Looked to be about 4?) ?


Regardless.. sweet video

 

Nice run <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Mike

 

It does not get any better than that. Too bad the guy was not in position to video past the parked planes.

Yeah, they were flares.

 

Those little flares are called "chaff" which they dump out the back to deter a heat-seeking missile! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

Actually, flares and chaff are different.

Flares are, well flares. Used for heat seekers.

Chaff is comprised of thin strips of aluminum that dispeses in a cloud to distract radar guided missiles.

Mike

 

that's kick ***.. yes Mike00 is exactly right. Chaff leaves a cloud of metal that presents a large radar cross section and tries to spoof the missle into thinking that's where the plane is. Unfortunately missles are becoming smarter. Some actually track the speed of the different radar signatures & IR signatures and select the more probable target. However, it can cause just enough delay for a plane to scoot out of the turning radius of the missle.

You pump flares while you bank into a hard turn, causing ultra hot spots flying across the sky. At the very moment you pump flares you come out of the throttle to reduce the hot gases flowing out the gates and go to max g turn in the opposite direction of the missles turn, again trying to get the missle to select a different hot spot and get out of its turning radius.

Heat-seekers are much smaller and have tighter turning radius', however, they are usually used close in because the missle has to be close enough to lock onto the exhaust gates before you fire it. Its also a well known tactic to buzz the enemy with gunfire, even if its off target, while you are firing missles to give him some tracers to think about. Only the very disciplined pilots can fly, manage their radars and radios, evade gun-fire, listen for missle tones, and react by pumping flares in a few tenths of a second.

IR missles are deadly at very close range and reduce in lethality the further out.

Radar guided missles are deadly at long range, however don't have the speed to react at close in targets. The software assists the missle by creating a projected angle of attack.. Uses the targets speed and direction to give the missle an area of aim to generalize where to fly and then closes in from there.

BTW your site looks good, sorry about the quality of your car on the dyno.

bad ***!!
