+Zurawski Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Outstanding...Wish I was able to carrier land this thing... I feel so stupid, since my VTOL abilities suck It is a more difficult landing... though once you get it... it's well worth the effort. someone here did a You-tube vid of a Carrier landing... Me? I can do it in my sleep... Quote

+Zurawski Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 But what is the lowest speed I can expect at touchdown? Is it possible to hover and then land? Easiest method is to come in to the stern in VTOL mode... I use a tick of forward nacelle to keep the speed around 40-45 knots to keep or be a hair faster than the carrier... You can bring the Osprey to a zero-speed hover no problem, but then your trying to time your drop on the deck... I perfer to chase it and fly into the landing. Kreelins video shows this perfectly...

+Spectre_USA Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Something that involves a lot of coughing, if I read this thread right... Quote

+kreelin Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) But what is the lowest speed I can expect at touchdown? Is it possible to hover and then land? You can hover (0- 2kts) with a little training. And then you have to low down the bird very smoothly (most difficult part). Carrier landing is easier but you have to know the speed of you carrier first. Usually it's between 20-30 kts. You have to fly the final approach at + 5 kts. In my vid http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=lA3al9fNzUc the approach was painful because , as you can see, the carrier decided to turn left suddenly Edited July 15, 2008 by kreelin Quote
