The airplane is with empty tanks and at afterburner it should have thrust/weight > 1. Most amazing is that it remained stable at that AoA (Su-27 is already good at it, but Su-33 has canards to aid), and how fast engine throttle response is!Caito wrote:Timbo, that's just amazing. Leaving luck apart, the power that must have that airplane. Given he was approaching and at relative low speed, such a high angle of attack most probably stalled the plane. Even though it escape 100% on power. Wow.
o.k. we go a bit off topicCaito wrote:Timbo, that's just amazing. Leaving luck apart, the power that must have that airplane. Given he was approaching and at relative low speed, such a high angle of attack most probably stalled the plane. Even though it escape 100% on power. Wow.

the pilot was lucky taht he did not catch the cable in his first try, otherwise the escape would have been difficult.
unfortunatly when he did his second approach he run out of luck.

just kidding
It´s a amazing airplane, with some very powerfull engines/turbines.
You will find some other interesting videos on youtube about it - if you are into Airplanes.
It is interesting to note, that they start/take off from the carrier (ship) with engine power alone, without using a catapult etc.
Both times arrestor wires fail upon landing, in the second accident pilot manages to take off safely.Callum wrote: I'm confused, what is happening in the two parts of the video?
