TuAF F-16 Refueling Inside Cockpit

CFT reduces the speed %5 on F-16s.

Yes,it should be effective if anyone care it lol

I was being sarcastic. :)

Ya of course man

I believe TUAF is not the first or only air force to have tankers.

Nice one. TuAF should publish more videos like this.

Ofra Haza!

you are right kaplan.
I talked here basic physics and aerodynamic and i'll try to find other official reports also to send you. See soon.

Hi, Turkwing.
Since we do not have access to the real data for the CFT's we can only talk with references. I gave you one with a lot of information already. It would be better if you gave me a reference, that supports your claim, that a Viper with CFT's is less effective.

also don't forget the centerfugel force when you make dogfight.
mass is right proportional effect to increase the force that pull out the circle you turn.

kaplan ciao.
first aerodynamicly front sectional area is greater than non CRTs. This generates more drag force.
When an aircraft would be heavier, it would be less agile. This is absolute. Bcz, inertial force.
So no need to prove CRF is more agile than non CRF. This is rule.

For more information about the advantages of the CFT's this is a very good reference:
http://www.defense-update.com/products/c/F-16-CFT.htm

The CFT's can provide greater range for strike missions and greater agility in close air combat. This is because a set of CFT's can carry 50% more fuel than the centerline tank with only 12% of the drag. When fitted with CFT the aircraft retains almost the full handling qualities, flight limits, and signature.

CFT is negative effect for performance reduces speed and agility.
Listen Elfot.

Thanks Sefa

nice video kuzgun thanks fore sharing :)

Nice video. Too bad the tankers guidance lights aren't visible.

Turkwing, CFTs would be used for A2G operations mostly.
Refueling is a good substitute, but the disadvantage is that it takes about 20 mins to half an hour for a 4 ship formation to refuel.
And even after refueling, there's only the internal fuel plus ext tanks (standard range).

So, refueling is good for CAP missions, CFTs for A2G.

Neither the Air Forces who have F-16s with CFT's have any problem..be their guest..the comment that CFT reduces the speed and agility is unaccurate !!! Learn about aerodynamics first...Also think that F-16s with CFT stay on air to opperate much-much longer...

Perfect, it is a good example why TUAF doesn't need CFTs on the F-16s.

No need, bcz, we have airborne refueler tanker aircrafts.
CFT on F-16 reduces the speed and agility.
So, it would be so exciting to make a dogfight with CFT included F-16s which some airforces have.
