Piloting a jet fighter as if it were a convertible! (8 pics)

Posted in Pictures 28 Jul 2009 / 7375 views

A Russian movie involved a scene when a man has to pilot a jet fighter with the canopy open.
The pilot not only performed the stunt but he broke the sound barrier while doing it.
Quite a feature!
Look at those amazing pics after the jump.

The white halo you can see on the pics is called the Prandtl–Glauert singularity (sometimes referred to as a "vapor cone"). It is the point at which a sudden drop in air pressure occurs, and is generally accepted as the cause of the visible condensation cloud that often surrounds an aircraft traveling at transonic speeds.
Inside the post, you will see that kind of pictures. That’s quite impressive.
