    Correction; when the air is colder it is THICKER or DENSER. Here is a prime example of this. My father flew the CF-104 at CFB Cold Lake here in Alberta, Canada. He and all 104 pilots LOVED the -40C winter weather. This allowed the engine to produce up to 40% more thrust at take off. A clean CF-104 on take off came close to going supersonic on takeoff. Father was a CF-104 IP Instructor Pilot and always got a kick out of taking students up for their first flight in this -40C weather. Brakes release to leveling off at 40,000ft... 90 seconds. F-15C pilots with a centerline tank and 8 missiles, had to come out of burner before the end of the runway in this -40C weather to AVOID breaking the sound barrier by the end of the runway. Conversely, when my father flew the F-4 out of Shaw AFB in South Carolina, in the southern part of America, takeoff in the thin hot air of summer used much more runway as the jet engine produced less thrust. Takeoff in 110F/50C Arizona was the worst for takeoff performance.

      Yeah I do know that but just brain farted for some reason, it’s led to a handful of interesting stories/details though so maybe not such a bad thing.
      Mach off the runway is mental, what altitude is Cold Lake?

    Great video as always. You are correct that there are certain performance boosts in the cold weather, but the reasoning is slightly mistaken. The air gets thicker when the air is colder. We can prove this by observing the ideal gas equation: pressure = density * Temperature. The air pressure at a certain altitude will remain constant.... so if the temperature goes down, the density (thickness) of the air must go up to maintain the constant air pressure.
    In terms of performance, first of all the airplane engine is receiving more air into the inlet than normal. The inlet area is obviously unchanged, but there is a greater quantity of air entering the inlet than normal since the air is more dense (thicker). The thicker air will result in higher drag, but the increase in drag is outpaced by the increased thrust from the engine.
    I think theoretically it should be the same with solid fuel in the missiles: the solid fuel will thicken so it will have an increased burn rate and higher thrust, which can increase range if the greater thrust outpaces the increased drag force due to speed (technical caveat: this would be on a total impulse basis, not a force basis)
    Additionally, your airplane and missile's turning performance is better in the thicker air, since the aerodynamic force on the control surfaces increases with the air density (similarly to the airplane drag).
    Any pilots feel free to correct me since I'm an engineer but not a (real) pilot. Thanks for indulging me and great flying (again) as always. Looking forward to other videos in the playlist. Cheers

      I could be wrong, I'm the type of engineer that annoys other engineers by referring to themselves as an engineer. So take all of this with a grain of solid rocket propellant.
      The thrust of the rockets is reduced overall with higher atmospheric pressure. My understanding is that the momentum thrust is reduced because the exhaust gases cannot freely expand, like they would in a vacuum. The pressure applied by the atmosphere against the exhaust gases impedes the expansion which decreases the velocity. We can see this if we look at the following equation to approximate the net thrust of a rocket engine. Exit velocity is the velocity of the exhaust gases when the exit pressure and atmosphere pressure are equivalent.
      F= exhaust gas mass flow * exit velocity + area of the exhaust nozzle * (nozzle exit static pressure - atmospheric pressure)
      Edit: I can't speak at all to how temperature changes would effect the combustion of the fuels themselves. I do know that solid fuel combustion is pretty complex. With some fuel mixtures engineers have been able to define specific geometric shapes to arrange the grains of oxidizers and fuel for different performance objectives.

      I guess the oxygen enhances the motor burn enough to overcome the drag penalty, same as with the jet itself.
      There will be a distance where it levels out to the same time to target, but I felt 9Bs were working pretty well for me compared to normal temps.

    Cold air = thicker air. The better performance could be from more O2 into the engines producing more thrust?

    • @Bullet4MyEnemy
      @Bullet4MyEnemy  2 месяца назад

      Yeah I totally brain farted on that one, cold is thicker, hot air rises, cold air falls and pools.
      But the performance gains bit still applies, just more from there being more oxygen to burn fuel rather than less drag, as you said.

      @Bullet4MyEnemy  2 месяца назад +1

      If you want speed, raise them up, if you want turn rate, switch them to auto.
      The only reason it’s worth doing is because if left in auto the drag they create delays how long it takes to get fast enough for them to raise automatically, if you raise them manually whenever you’re not pulling the stick it’s quite a significant, noticeable increase to your average speed.

      It gets pretty much everything up to the AIM-9P5, which is all aspect.
      Including Js and JULIs - even though I always thought they were the same thing.
      In this iteration of Enigma’s server there are just restrictions on what you can bring and for the 1960s the limit is 9Bs, 1970s it’s 9Ps.
      Different servers have different rules and restrictions.

      @Bullet4MyEnemy  2 месяца назад

      I tend to switch search off when I’m aware of the threats around me, to look for locks/launches, but otherwise keep it in search to make myself aware of what’s around.
      Mirage F1s and 21s have decent radars, airfields have SA-8s, it’s good to keep swapping between search on and off just to get an idea of the threats around you.
