How fast does a harrier go?
The fastest can go up to 735 mph(depending on type of harrier), and the slowest it can do is a mere hover.
Can the Harrier hover better than the F-35 B?
Yes
How fast does a Harrier jet go?
The fastest can go up to 735 mph(depending on type of harrier), and the slowest it can do is a mere hover.
How long can a Harrier jet hover?
according to this source and this video: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0123.shtml#b http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y_ePf1Jcr8 We have learned that the Harrier carries a certain amount of cooling water that is needed to prevent the Pegasus turbofan engine from overheating during hover. If operating conditions are such that the water is needed at the maximum cooling rate, there is only enough water available to remain in hover for about 90 seconds before the supply is exhausted. However, the aircraft rarely needs to use this cooling water at the maximum rate, and can therefore hover for considerably longer than 90 seconds. We're just not sure how long "considerably longer" is. We've observed the Harrier hovering at airshows for periods of time on the order of 5 minutes or more. Based on these numbers, our best guess is that the maximum time limit over which the Harrier can maintain hover is probably around 10 minutes or so. the pegasus engine requires cooling while hovering (no air cooling available during hover) and uses coolant to achieve this so the amount of time it can hover is related to the amount of coolant available. This has never been scientifically measured but is estimated to be between 5-10 mins
What three unique tricks can a harrier do?
Take off vertically, land vertically, and hover in mid-air
What was the first jet aircraft to hover?
The Harrier 'Jump-Jet.' Capable of taking off and landing vertically or normally.
What three unique trick can a harrier jet do?
Take off vertically, land vertically, and hover in mid-air
How slow can the slowest airplane fly?
Depends on what you consider flying the Harrier and F-35B can hover at 0 knots
What three unique tricks can a harrier plane perform?
Hover, take off or land vertically, and fly sideways and backward.
What can helicopters do that airplanes cannot?
1. Hover. 2. Take-off and land vertically. Although there are airplanes (such as the Harrier) which can do these things.
Why does it take more power to hover at higher altitude?
It doesn't. It just takes that amount of energy to climb to that altitude.
What unique tricks can a harrier plane perform?
It can take off and land vertically. It can hover like a helicopter, fly sideways or backwards.
