J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread IV (Closed to posting)

Iunno why i have the opposite experience though. I step on the gas better with shoes. Not sure if it's because I'm used to stepping the pedal with shoes.

Have you compared shoes with different bottoms. Thin bottoms help me have finer control. My wife tends to complain more about my driving when I have my cowboy boots on. And I can feel it myself. I would think I'm stepping on the gas as usual, but the car is not moving much. So I try a Lille harder, then the car jumps out. The same goes with stopping. I guess it has a lot to do with what you normally wear. Even if you wear shoes with think bottom, you can calibrate the amount of force used by your feet to achieve certain driving style. Once you switch to another type of shoes, you lose that scale and driving becomes choppy. It would take you a couple minutes to calibrate your feet again to fit the new shoes.

What actually matters is the driving style. I tend to drive kind of crazy. So my acceleration and stop are always not that smooth. So, no matter what kind of shoes I wear, I will calibrate my feet to achieve my favorite driving style. It might take me some extra time to get to my optimal style if I'm not wearing my usual shoes. So my driving will be extra choppy when I have new shoes on. All it takes is a couple minutes, I will get back to my usual driving.

I wear regular thickness shoes like vans and runners. I also do drive a bit crazy and speed a lot, so I compensate this for a smooth deceleration by shifting to neutral, use the brake gradually, then snap the gear back to drive. the gas supply gets cut off when on neutral, then i apply the brake which then decelerates without the interference of the gas(thus bleeding the only factor left, the momentum)

Either way, unless you know what i'm doing and you've done it, dont try this

Hey, it is safer to slow down with the gear engaged. This is especially true if you're going downhill i.e. the gear braking effect across the 2 front wheels is more even than that of the brake. Even on level road, the braking effect of the gear reduces the braking distance further in an emergency.

Now, back to driving the J-20.

I have seen a lot of off topic posts but I have never seen a thread where a stealth fighter thread becomes a discussion between the merits of driving bare feet versus thick sole shoes on automobiles.

The fact that I steered the most popular thread of the forum off-topic with the weirdest topic anyone can ever imagine made me feel proud personally.

【经典回顾：歼20黄昏中尽展柔美】

　　央视6月23日《今日关注》节目播出“歼-20隐形战机再度试飞并进行空中放油动作”，以下为文字实录：

　　　　解说：据有关媒体报道，歼20的第二架原型机2002好机，近日在某地再次进行试飞，整个是非过程基本处于低空状况，在试飞过程当中，歼-20还进行了空中放油动作，报道称，2002号机今年三月进行了开启侧弹舱及挂弹测试，这表明，中国歼-20隐身战斗机的试验已经达到了一个新的水平。

空中放油 means "fuel dumping"

You better watch out!!!!! Some little snitch will whine to the mods that you are off topic and shut the whole thread down, maybe the whole forum, and NO I'm not talking about their politics, God forbid we might talk about aerodynamics on the thread for an air superiority fighter, any way, I still think 2003 is gonna roll out, the fact that she hasn't yet does suggest that there will be some changes, and I think that will likely entail the powerplants and aft fuselage, but it could simply be cash flow, kind of like the reports that there were multiple J-20s at secret bases, its odd that 2002 seemed to join 2001 and then returned to Chengdu, it just further illustrates that its difficult to nail down firm details on any specific weapons systems due to the constant flow of "white noise". This continues to be a cutting edge project, and the aerodynamics and related FCS seemed to be well sorted sooo, the appearance of all these camera booms do lead one to speculate that something is a-foot!-pun intended brat

I think they already did, and the mods took action. Unfortunately they brushed into the big red button by mistake and brought the entire forum down. So yea!! I am the true culprit of this time's attack

I do hope we can see our 2003 very soon. It's something I'm really looking forward to, especially if huitong said it's actually going to be a prototype(thus probably closely resembling the production thing) instead of the current demonstrators.

I hope 2003 gets rid of the darn pitot tube!
