Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

The display device consisted of two vertical rows of light- emitting diodes (LED's) located toward the center of the cockpit instrument panel, with one row of lights visible to the left of the control stick and the other row visible to the right of the control stick. The light strings provided a logical extension of the head-up display (HUD) velocity vector symbol at flight-path angles which exceeded the HUD field-of-view. Four test subjects flew a modified F/A-18 model with this display in an air-to-air engagement task against an equally capable opponent. Their responses to a questionnaire indicated that the conformal velocity vector information could not be used during the scenarios investigated due to the inability to visually track a target and view the lights simultaneously. INTRODUCTION During the course of fighter aircraft display format research, many pilots have expressed a desire to have the direction in which the aircraft is traveling (aircraft's velocity vector) presented in the cockpit.

    Order Code RL30730 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Russian Fighter Aircraft Industrial Base: Parallels with the United States? November 8, 2000 Christopher Bolkcom Analyst in National Defense Ellen Schwarzler Research Associate Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress This CRS Report was prepared at the request of Representative James Talent. It has been released for general congressional use with his permission. Russian Fighter Aircraft Industrial Base: Parallels with the United States? Summary There are many differences between the fighter aircraft industry in the United States and in Russia. The United States has traditionally produced its weaponry within a capitalist framework which allowed free enterprise and competition between companies in private industry. The former Soviet Union’s economy, and its fighter aircraft industry was based on a Marxist, command economy, where the central government dictated the type and number of aircraft produced and allocated resources for construction. Once among the most glamorous components of the Soviet military industrial complex, the Russian military aircraft industry has been described by some analysts as being on the verge of collapse. Russia’s civilian aircraft industry has faced similar pressures, which does not bode well for the military aviation infrastructure. It may be difficult for fighter aircraft companies to find employment in Russia’s beleaguered civil aircraft sector. The Russian government has attempted to reform its fighter aircraft industrial base and make it more efficient and competitive with western industry. It has initiated several reforms aimed at reducing the stratification and compartmentalization of industrial processes, as well as improving access to financial resources.

    [SU-27] DCS DCS: Su-27 Flanker Eagle Dynamics i Flight Manual DCS [SU-27] DCS: Su-27 for DCS World The Su-27, NATO codename Flanker, is one of the pillars of modern-day Russian combat aviation. Built to counter the American F-15 Eagle, the Flanker is a twin-engine, supersonic, highly manoeuvrable air superiority fighter. The Flanker is equally capable of engaging targets well beyond visual range as it is in a dogfight given its amazing slow speed and high angle attack manoeuvrability. Using its radar and stealthy infrared search and track system, the Flanker can employ a wide array of radar and infrared guided missiles. The Flanker also includes a helmet-mounted sight that allows you to simply look at a target to lock it up! In addition to its powerful air-to-air capabilities, the Flanker can also be armed with bombs and unguided rockets to fulfil a secondary ground attack role. Su-27 for DCS World focuses on ease of use without complicated cockpit interaction, significantly reducing the learning curve. As such, Su-27 for DCS World features keyboard and joystick cockpit commands with a focus on the most mission critical of cockpit systems.
