Plane braking

[Panzar]

Yeah, I can easily land short, say ill swoop down just near my base, at around 700mph, and slowly stop, its not hard

[Mongolian_dude]

I dont think its a bad idea at all.
You might find that some aircraft are alot less willing to stop on the runway than others.
Notably the SU-30 and the GR4 pilots will have to sacrafice their lives every time they attempt to land, jumping out to keep it on the runway.

Just practise... landing is fine. No need for parachutes.

[@bsurd]

imo landing is very fine. You only have to know the landing speed and the trust you set up. Get on a training server and after a day you can land this things blind...

[Waaah_Wah]

Landing is fine if you have a joystick with the ability to control throtle. I dont, and landing is really hard for me

the cables aeren't connected to a large spring , but this type of machine that pulls back on the cable when a jet lands. I watched a couple documentary's on the Nimitz class carriers' and i never seen a large spring of some sort when they're talking about where the arrestor cable goes to

In mechanics a spring is basically everything that can absorb/store kinetic energy without warping and it does not necessarily have to look like what you know as a spring.

maybe instead we should get a longer runway 100 metres or something like that

i dont like the idea but i do like arguing about it.



those arent f-16s those are eurofighters.

First pic was of a Norwegian F-16, they are fitted with brake-chutes in case they have to land on one of Norways many short runways. They seldom do though, that pic was from a rare practice back in 1984-85 somethin'

Look further back in topic, you'll see I posted a pic of a norwegian
But yeah, the pic you're thinking of is dutch, saw it on an aerobatics-show in Norway this summer along with some other dutch F-16's, two german F-4's, NATOs E-3 AWACS and some other cool shit
