#F18 CARRIER LANDING DUMPING FUEL INSTALL#
When operated at high angles of attack, or when the pilot adjusted the throttle position too quickly (both common facets of the air combat the jet was built for), the engines were prone to compressor stalls.Ĭrew members prepare to install an Pratt & Whitney TF30-P-412 A turbofan jet engine in a Fighter Squadron 43 (VF-143) F-14A Tomcat aircraft in the hangar deck aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. The TF-30 engines were indeed powerful, but they were also too sensitive for the job. In fact, those adjustable wings gave the Tomcat a tighter turn radius than most other modern fighters, which can mean all the difference in a dogfight.īut for all its capability, the Tomcat could also be troublesome.
All told, the F-14 could use that combined 50,000+ pounds of thrust to push the aircraft to an astonishing Mach 2.3, and its variable-sweep wing design gave it excellent handling at both the low speeds required for carrier landings and the high speeds needed to intercept Ivan before he could deploy his anti-ship missiles toward an American carrier.
Each engine could produce 14,560 pounds of thrust under military power, with the afterburner kicking output up to 25,100 pounds. When fueled up and ready to go, the F-14 weighed in at 61,000 pounds, which is almost twice that of the future F/A-18 and quite a bit more than twice the weight of a fully-fueled F-16 Fighting Falcon.ĭespite all of that heft, the Tomcat needed to be fast in order to succeed at its mission, so Grumman paired the F-14 with the TF-30 engines the company had originally fitted to the F-111B they had failed to sell the Navy on earlier. To this specific end, Grumman had designed the largest and heaviest carrier fighter in history, with a fair amount of that weight dedicated to a suite of powerful new weapons and the systems required to leverage them. In an era before Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) had matured into the go-to nuclear weapon delivery vehicle they would become, the Tomcat was designed to neuter the Soviet Union’s most potent means of putting nukes on American soil their long-range bombers.

Loving it as much as me? Let us know your thoughts in the comments as I'm sure there will initially be some complaints about it being an Android game.The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was an incredibly capable aircraft, and with good reason.

You can be outside the aircraft, inside with a full cockpit, or inside with just a HUD (Head Up Display). One of the best features in my opinion with this one is all the different camera views you have the option to fly with.

You'll be tasked with following another jet to a location, flying to air bases and also aircraft carriers plus more and you'll have a mapping system in your armoury to assist you. Using tilt controls, and on-screen tabs for your throttle and landing gear, you get a wide variation of missions available. You can skip this if you want and jump straight into the missions and I can only imagine that this is the ultimate way of experiencing flying a combat jet on your BlackBerry. To begin, and if you didn't try the original, there is a very in-depth tutorial, which gets you to grips with all the controls and camera angles available.

If a flight simulator game is your kind of thing it doesn't get much better than this.
