Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

What's your point? Why does it sound so strange to you?

Because a landing F16 will be much less prone to damage. Obviously.

Still, what's your point.
we can only discuss once we have your full theory.

I am not trolling here, but, was the boar flying?

No there's just something called ...Flying Coffin.....thanks to the IAF.

And a landing F16 was lost to it? seems strange.

And where did you read that it was landing. !!

No, you are just incapable of understanding the context.

Do Pakistan's F-16 equipped with ALE-50 towed decoy if not any planed for it ?

How may ask is it obvious?

Do you know which other aircraft's were dubbed the flying coffin?

The F-104. Really bad experience by the Luftwaffe. Still, its off topic. As a general rule, American equipment has been really safe, with safety systems for safety systems.

Low speed, motion in 2d on the runway, normal reaction from the runway to balance any sudden impact on the plane. No impact of gravity as in the air.

How do you know it was low speed? 140 kts is 140 kts on the runway... taking off or slowing down.

As for the incident, please read up on all PAF F-16 losses here, god knows where you came up with the landing idea.

I meant compared to speed in the air.

Have you forgetten something known as momentum? The aircraft will have a component of force that hit the boar.
Please read on the incident here.

Momentum will be directly proportional to speed. Plus this is not a normal physics collision since the boar is not a rigid body. It would have probably been thrown away by the impact. So, the reverse impact on the plane's body should actually be quite lesser as compared to what it would have been had the plane hit a really rigid object.

Anyways I read you link and found only one line on the incident.

The aircraft took off from Sargodha AB and hit a wild boar causing the two pilots to eject.

Have you read about the physics of bird strikes? The normally non rigid body of the bird becomes a shell. Please read about the effects of bird strikes and then return on the thread to comment further.
The aircraft hit the boar on takeoff while at full burner, which sheared the gear off and slammed the jet onto the runway. The pilots ejected right there and then.

I know about bird strikes. The basic reason behind damage due to bird strikes is large impulse that bird's body gives to the plane, damaging the structure. This impulse is directly proportional to speed of plane, which in this case would be lesser than that in air. Anyways no comments from my side on this topic
