Very interesting.
Especially the contact time in a dogfight, just a few seconds. thanks

I saw that too. I think MiG had better acceleration at lower speeds, so diving helps gain immediate seperation *now* no matter the final end time speed. When not near aerodynamic limited top speed, diving helps for a short time no matter the airplane, and its escaping in that short time that's core. Does that sound like Correct Thinking?
Very interesting the note about shallow dive required to gain highest speed, while steep dive brings the aircraft into dense air before top speed can be reached...if I read that right!!

Yep, you read it right... Another point is that sound in denser matter spreads faster, and thus it is harder to catch up...
 P.S. - this may explain the difference in test results from VVS and USAF... If I remember correctly top speed of captured MiG-15 was tested by straight dive Last edited by FPSOlkor; 01-01-2009 at 12:59 PM.
