2022年7月12日 · Here is a link to a video of a famous F-14 pilot talking about using full flaps for extra maneuvering against the F-18 in a mock dogfight. It’s a bad idea, and it can really damage your airframe, but it is incredibly effective at increasing turn rate at slowish speeds.

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, tandem two-seat, twin-tail, all-weather-capable variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the General Dynamics-Grumman F-111B project.

Flap Position is displayed by an indicator moving between UP and DOWN. The first marked section of the indicator indicates maneuver flap-range. The landing gear is indicated as follows:

2020年11月23日 · I only use the flap lever when she is vibrating around 250-350kn, and when rate fighting. The only time you should be touching the flap lever is if you're taking off or landing. The DLC wheel on the stick adjusts the maneuvering flaps.

This document discusses the flight control systems of the F-14, including the flap/slat and spoiler systems. It explains that flaps are used for takeoff and landing, extending to different positions based on airspeed. Maneuvering flaps are controlled separately and extend automatically or via thumbwheel based on angle of attack.

The flaps and slats on the F-14 Tomcat can be used in two modes. The normal flap and slat extension is controlled using the FLAP handle on the Throttle Quadrant. The flaps can be set to anywhere between retracted and fully extended where the flaps will …

2020年11月23日 · The F-14 NATOPS manual is publicly available (along with many aircraft) with a simple search. (I won’t list it). In the manual, you’ll find a detailed section on FLAPS operation and limitations.

DACO is very proud to announce the reprint of its third book in our detailed range "Uncovering the...", inwhich all the versions of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat are uncovered till the last nut, including the last ever pictures of their last carrier tour in the Gulf. Almost 750 (all colour) photos are given of the Tomcats.

2010年2月28日 · Going through both NAVAIR Dash 1's for the F-14A and F-14D indicate that land takeoff's can be performed with flaps up, flaps in maneuver position and full flaps. The recommended position is maneuver flaps for land takeoffs.

2023年5月29日 · Hey yall, when I am flying the F-14A and my airspeed drops below 200kn the flaps automatically deploy. I do not remember this happening before. I'm I missing something, doing something wrong, is it a bug, or is this normal? Thanks yall

2023年6月18日 · The Grumman F-14A/B Tomcat is a two-seat, twin-engine supersonic variable wing-sweep fighter aircraft. The F-14 was the first US fighter jet with twin tails and was the largest & heaviest US fighter to ever fly from an aircraft carrier.

Heatblur F-14 Tomcat. ... Flaps and slats - UP. Maneuver flaps - DN. WING SWEEP MODE switch - MAN 50. If sweep does not stop at 50° immediately select AUTO. Maneuver flaps - Crack Up. WING SWEEP MODE switch - BOMB. Check maneuver flap retraction. Emergency WING SWEEP handle - 68°.

2017年5月15日 · You can do this through a flap-flap mix that is assigned to the swing wing switch such that when you sweep the wings, the mix goes to -100% to raise the flaps. The only thing is that it won't stop the flaps from dropping back down when you extend the wings.

The F-14 used to experience what we called a Flap/Slat lock out. When the flaps or slats on each side would differ in angle slightly, they would lock in place where they were at. This would prevent the wings from going back into the swept configuration.

2012年4月8日 · Do the leading edge flaps ever hang down on an F-14 when it’s on the ground with the wings swept back parked?

2019年3月18日 · So, DLC and maneuvering flaps use the same Hold programmed buttons (using the same H4 buttons on the Warthog stick as the default map, but via TARGET) working as described. Taxing around you can see the maneuvering flaps/slats deploy beginning with flaps up and wing sweep less than 50.

2020年2月19日 · New data gathered: 20,000ft, GS between 350kts and 560kts and 340kts to 250kts. The reason of the sharp change in the fuel and UAoA trends is the toggling of the manoeuvring flaps. It is also interesting to note that the manoeuvring flaps are actuated at different speeds in different test runs, meaning there are other conditions involved.

2016年4月28日 · At the low end of the Mach spectrum (below 0.8), the F-14 maneuver slats and flaps offer a significant increase in lift by decreasing the effective wing loading from 85.6 PSF (pounds per square...
