Far from it. But yes it has operated once or twice from Autobahns in Germany but a nice long straight section is required...
Superb model tho, well done Alpha Sim... Again!

Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2003 12:51 pmAccording to some of my encyclopedias the Jaguar is a STOL aircraft, but I can't find any data related to take-off length.
But did you know that the Jag has a rough field capability?
On a video of mine there is footage of a Jaguar taking off from an unprepared grass strip. Boy does the mud fly!!

Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2003 12:56 pmIts probably why it sits so high on the under carraige. It looks nice but and RAF friend of my dads I was speaking to said it is a nasty aircraft to fly and turns like a dog but I may still get it cause those camo textures are the nicest I've seen in a while.

Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2003 12:57 pmYea I've seen that clip to and a few others.

Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2003 8:19 pmThink I've seen that clip as well.
I read about a jag student a few years back, on his 2nd flight after joining his first squadron he had an engine failure on takeoff and as a result ejected at extreme low altitude. The injuries sustained ended his flying career. 6 months in hospital and a medical discharge, poor b*st*rd.
As to the performance of the jag, its drasticaly underpowered for a combat aircraft as it was originaly intended as a supersonic trainer. Something akin to the T-38.
Also the french navy developed the Jag M and gave up on it. Instead the updated the Etandard and waited for the Rafale.

Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2003 5:03 amThat looks one hell of an aircraft - the 2nd shot with the reheat is the best one!
Alphasim have done it again - well done guys.
STOL Characteristics? - well a clean Jag would need approx 2000ft of runway to get airborne and when we start adding rising temperatures/weapons loads to the equation, we are talking something between 6000-7000ft of Runway!
Still it has its merits......
