2017年12月17日 · HUD symbology varies depending on flight mode and aircraft configuration so you will find a wide variety of symbols capable of being displayed. Some basic ones from the F/A-18 E/F aircraft are. To your original question the ‘W’ symbol is called the Waterline symbol and represents the point at infinity where the longitudinal axis of the aircraft points toward. It is analogous to the ...

The HUD is not a display that fails that often so not many people know what this thing is for. The fact that you can just bring up the HUD page on any of the other displays when it fails and beyond visual range weapons being the default way with regards to tactics means it is seldom used.

2019年9月14日 · The primary airspeed indication is in the HUD. You can select CAS (calibrated airspeed), TAS (true airspeed) and GND SPD (ground speed) on the HUD panel on the right console. The backup airspeed indicator (the analogue gauge you are referring to) is located below the ICP (integrated control panel) on the center console.

Most modern military aircraft HUDs have two primary methods of displaying the velocity vector (or flight path vector) relative to the pitch ladder. Uncaged Mode When the HUD is operating in uncaged mode, the velocity vector remains fixed between the pitch ladder and, instead, the pitch ladder slews around the HUD. It is important to note …

2017年12月17日 · A fighter jet does not identify a target optically nor using infrared. Neither of these two methods can provide accurate position information of the target. This may change in the future, but it is what the technology is now. About the HUD The HUD is from a F-18 (I am not sure which variant). Let's go over the symbols top to bottom and left to ...

2017年1月7日 · They are fixed. The pilot must maneuver the aircraft such that the trajectory of the bullets will impact his selected target. Here is a picture of the HUD on a F/A-18 during a gun run on a ground target. Note the circular symbol which indicates where the bullets will hit. (Screenshot of JetStream Episode 8)

2015年6月1日 · Why do some fighter jets have two pilots, while some have only one? For example the newer fighter jets such as Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter typhoon etc. are mostly with single-seat, but two-seat m...

2024年4月21日 · Compared to most other fighters, the f-18 has a low sweep angle on its wing; 20 degrees compared to the f-16s 40 degree sweep and f-15s 45 degree sweep. Additionally the wing has a relatively high ...

2019年11月1日 · At low airspeeds, aileron and differential stabilator travel are reduced with increasing AOA to minimize adverse yaw. In short: Yes the F18 uses differential (asymmetric) deflections on the leading edge flaps and trailing edge flaps but the scheduling depends on angle of attack, airspeed and Mach number.

2020年2月3日 · In some parts of the flying envelope of the F/A-18 Hornet and MiG-29 the ailerons from the external parts of the wings go up in sync. They're made to go one up one down in order to get rolls, not ...
