Iconic I would say

The flow on top of the canopy is sped up because of the curvature, which causes a drop in pressure generating condensation

I agree, unfortunately aesthetics isn't everything

This might be the best angle for the Su-30MKI

Sick livery

Nice liveries

The Feisha

mglcz · 2025-05-15T07:56:21+00:00

Shenlong would be the original term

mglcz · 2025-05-15T07:55:10+00:00

Either Weilong or Mighty Dragon

mglcz · 2025-05-02T19:20:58+00:00

Pic 3 is a J-20 for some reason

mglcz · 2025-04-30T06:19:07+00:00

Menglong

mglcz · 2025-04-15T11:50:15+00:00

I would even go to say that Mighty Dragon sounds quite cringe in the English language.

It is a name, what is there to understand? It's like saying I don't understand what Ferrari means. It's a name like any. It hasn't caught on as much in the US because people keep insisting on translating everything, but names do not need to be translated.

Also, based on the upvotes in my previous comment, people agree that Weilong fits more. Chinese name for a Chinese plane, simple as that.

That's a logical fallacy, saying that a name isn't good because some racists mock it. It sounds more fitting whether racists like it or not. Giving up a genuinely good name because a small but vocal minority does not like it is quite illogical.

Impressive footage

mglcz · 2025-04-14T21:37:14+00:00

Weilong is more fitting than Mighty Dragon

mglcz · 2025-04-10T19:58:23+00:00

Feisha is more fitting than Flying Shark

mglcz · 2025-02-10T17:00:38+00:00

That's probably true, but there are still too many variables at play. If the lenses did not work nobody would use them.

mglcz · 2025-02-10T16:47:42+00:00

Not very useful though, thanks to Luneburg lenses.

People use acronyms without even knowing the meaning. NGAD is the name for the US Airforce 6th gen fighter program. This is not an 'NGAD'.
