=WL=COBA Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 takeoff La-5 without a part of the wing and landing 2
kissklas Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Haha, maybe this could become a new sport? 20 style points for the landing. Nice pirouettes.
coconut Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 That was pretty impressive! I think a belly landing might have been smoother, maybe.
LLv24_Zami Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Hmm, maybe right place for this video would be the bug thread. Can this be done with other planes?
coconut Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 There are stories and pictures of planes landing with half a wing or even more missing, so I think calling this a bug might be a bit hastened. I don't expect it to be as easy with German fighters because of their higher wing loading.
LLv24_Zami Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 He`s taking off, flying around and landing with half of his wing missing and other parts flying off the aircraft. I`m not an FM expert but it does seem a bit strange to me. I know there are rare cases of planes landing with wing missing in real life. But I think most of the planes which lost a wing in flight came down crashing.
unreasonable Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Probably should be called take-off and "landing". Who need ailerons anyway.... amusing, thank you. I suppose what rather preempts the realism argument is that no-one in their right mind would try to take off in an aircraft in that condition.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 This could be possible IRL I think but no real pilot would try unless they didn't have a chute. There was an 15 that lost its wing and made a safe landing but the only reason he didn't eject was because there was a fuel leak hiding the damage.

The F-15 has something the La-5 doesn't have: body lift. Like that you need very little extra wing: The Japanese Type 96 also flew rather well with "asymmetric" wings, this is a classic and I think has been shown before here, but I take an extract from: Imperial Japanese Navy Aces 1937–45 by Henry Sakaida A nice book if you don't mind the encyclopedia style writing as well as the somewhat lazy proofreading.

-TBC-AeroAce Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 From an aerodynamic/stability point of view it is possible if you have enough lift to maintain level flight and also have enough of a roll/yaw moment to keep horizontal flight. Ow I forgot you also need the biggest set of ball or a lack of brain cells
