More plane hijinks

Added DiffLines:

** In the Dogfights documentary series, one WWII pilot had the trick of simultaneously pitching down and yawing, turning his whole plane into one huge, unstable, airbrake. In the same series, one US pilot in Vietnam had perfected an exploitation of the Phantom jet's flat spin failure mode, putting his plane into a flat spin for a few seconds at a time to WTF his enemies and forcing overshoots by losing airspeed, then quickly recovering to normal flight on their tails.

Given that, [[LightningBruiser they're much faster and more agile then they appear.]] An example being the Hidolfr pivoting on its axis, 'while moving forward.'

Both linked videos are unavailable (terminated account). About thrust vectoring: last time I checked, fighter pilots were required to handle 10 Gs... I have no clue WTF did the author of this statement mean, but it probably wasn\'t anything worth knowing.


** Note that in theory, with some rather specific modifications and particularly thrust-vector engines (which are currently available technology seen on the F-35 and the F-22, for example), this is entirely possible. Where it falls apart is the fact that the pilot of the jet in question would go from approximately 2 Gs of force to ''negative 2 Gs of force'' (from braking) back to 2 Gs of force, minimum. Needless to say, this would result in a typical pilot's brains being reduced to goo.

** ''TopGear'' has also done such wonders as racing piled up cars with the top steering and the bottom accelerating and braking, MPVs (people carriers), camper vans (RVs) and ''buses''. And they were all awesome.

* During WWII, LT. Richard Candelaria was dogfighting in his P-51 Mustang with a skilled German pilot in am Me109. With the German flying circles around him and latched on his tail, Candelaria tries a risky maneuver, kicking his Mustang's tail around so the German would overshoot him. His plane does the equivalent of a short spin in the air and shoots down the German plane. Although he's not spinning in the air per-se, it still qualifies as an unconventional tactic. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBfwXT_S70o#t=00m22s Eat your heart out, thrust vectoring.]]
* Of course, making flying machines spin in strange maneuvers has been around since WWI, with the little Fokker Triplanes being extremely agile for their time. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr0S0pTVMlU#t=06m50s]]

* Despite being a game that makes strenuous efforts toward realism to the point where its engine has been used for actual military training simulations, OperationFlashpoint lets you pull this off in any tank, assuming you can reach a sufficiently high speed, due to tank treads apparently having significantly less grip than they do in RealLife.
