Those plane engineers think of everything!
“Whoops, I was pulling on the wrong stick.”
They all said it was the wrong one but it felt so right.
Thank you, satans maggoty cum fart!
One is a joy stick, the other makes the plane do things.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
He got off safely. What a relief.
Mig-31 had a major engine fire
Isn’t that the normal operating state of the Foxbat family?
Tap for explanation
MiG-25 engine service life is 150 hours, MiG-31 300 hours. These engines are essentially burning themselves to death constantly. For comparison: the 🇨🇵Rafale engine, the Snecma M88-2, has a time between overhauls of 3000 hours, and is designed for a service life of 6000 hours.
Fun fact for the MiG-25: The engine lifespan is that low because it literally uses a pair of cruise missile engines. They’re built to be used once. I can’t speak for the MiG-31, though.
Twice as long as a cruise missile apparently 🤣
Americans built the sr71, a plane that goes mach 3 and above. Russians build the foxbat, a rocket that goes mach 3 and above.
The MiG-31 is only good at one thing: speed. That bad boy can intercept damn near anything but it can’t turn on a dime or go too fast unless shear forces tear its wings and airframe off. It’s pretty much a cool looking paper tiger.
Are you thinking of the mig 25? The foxhound was supposedly much more capable at low speed than the foxbat. Genuinely curious
Crap I think you’re right. They look damn near identical to each other. I don’t know what the MiG-31 could do better than its older counterpart.
So I was curious because I genuinely had that mixed up when reading the thread, so I watched a quick documentary about the foxhound. It is extremely similar because it’s derived directly from the fox bat platform. The mig 31 is an interceptor fighter. It’s still extremely quick, but not as quick as the fox bat. It could hit mach 2.5 and could intercept the sr 71 if it was pushing hard apparently, especially given that a missile could reach out and touch the blackbird if required.
The biggest difference I learned was that the 25 was all go and nothing else, whereas the 31 was slower to allow for more capabilities. The changes that they made for the 31 allowed it to be somewhat successful as a fighter as well at lower speed.
This seems like a fantastic example of “if a metric becomes a target, it fails in being a metric”.
Eh, it works for what it is. The whole plane is basically a manned stage-1 of an AA missile.
99% sure reddit poster wrote that intentionally to increase engagement
This comment reveals ALL the secrets of engagement on the internet, click here to find out how!! (insert picture of random guy with the mouth wide open)
(sorry)
You won’t believe number 3!
😱😱😱
I inserted goatse picture but put googly eyes on it.
It works the same, I swear.
It’s something I’ve always noticed about Reddit; is how awful the spelling is on there.
Impressive. I find it difficult enough to do while driving! And my passengers complaining also makes it difficult to focus…
They are just jealous they can’t drive stick.
Crashing a plane can be stressful so hats off to his copilot for thinking on his feet and relieving some of that stress.
I’m sorry, but Ivan managed to pull off quite a feat. He wasn’t beating around a bush and came through.
So the pilot died doing what he loved?
You ever nut at 3 Gs?
The flight suit pressure-squeeze + the plane banking on 3-jizz makes it a truly unique experience.
(Dang, ngl, that sounds something you def need to kinda try given the chance.)
You probably could w/ the vomit comet?
Or one of those centrifuges. Would sustain it longer.
At 3 jizz all of the (several diffident bodily) fluids get splattered away from me … it’s when the forces equal out a bit more that you really get the shitshow, but by then you gooned anyways.
“I tried to put it out— but a tablespoonful of semen was just no match for the ferocity of that engine fire… At the speed of Mach 3, it was difficult to direct the ejaculate after I opened the cockpit and I lost the load. Most of it all over my helmet. At that point I could no longer read my instrumentation”
A medal of valour for doing everything possible to save the plane.
This cumerade cumed & cum-flooded the cum-engines with too much cum and they went into uncumtrolled after-cum-burner mode that eventually overcumed everything and the cumjet just melted & climaxed in a great cum-ball explosion.
I’m glad the cummer lived to ejaculate in anther plane.
I mean, I respect his resourcefulness but a teaspoon of skeet isn’t going to put out an engine fire:o
Well, def not if you don’t even try.
OP is not an certified NCD member.
Like I couldnt care less but TPM claiming into NCD is fucking BS. Everybody is an NCD member but not TPM. Gatekeeping? No true Scotsman? Salty? It could be any of those. I don’t care.
-edit- this is like generally accepted but not really core NCD contenylr, by a power user. This should not have the attention it has.
But it is (fortunately) not up to me what is OK and what not. But I am gonna point it out anyway.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Sorry, since you hadn’t personally signed off on my many other posts in this community, I figured the approval process had broken down.
Posting too much will be the end of Lemmy if left unchecked.
