*PUGACHEV COBRA* MANOEUVRE executed by GIANT SCALE RC THRUST VECTORED SU-30 JET ! [*UltraHD and 4K*]
An amazing first in RC jet flying. Andreas Gietz of CARF Models flying his thrust vectored, twin engined, SU-27 and executes an amazing Pugachev Cobra. A manoeuvre only seen in SU series jet fighters and very difficult to perform.
In aerobatics, Pugachev's Cobra (or Pugachev Cobra) is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate speed suddenly raises the nose momentarily to the vertical position and slightly beyond, before dropping it back to normal flight. It uses potent engine thrust to maintain approximately constant altitude through the entire move. Some have speculated that the maneuver may have use in close range combat, although it has never been used. It is an impressive trick to demonstrate an aircraft's pitch control authority, high angle of attack (AOA) stability and engine-versus-inlet compatibility, as well as the pilot's skill. The maneuver is named after the Soviet test pilot Viktor Pugachev, who performed it in 1989 at the Paris Le Bourget air show.[1] But Igor Volk was the first who tested aircraft behavior at high super-critical angles of attack (around 90°) and performed aerobatics such as the "cobra" maneuver.
