Here Are The Basic Fighter Maneuvers Fundamentals You Need To Understand Dogfights, Explained By A Fighter Pilot

June 7, 2020 Alessandro "Gonzo" Olivares David Cenciotti Military Aviation 0 Comments
 

Today we will try to bring you inside the mind of a fighter pilot engaging an adversary aircraft during a dogfight. And we will do that through a bit of the theory behind WVR aerial combat, explaining the so-called BFM (Basic Fighter Maneuvers), the tactical movements performed by a fighter during an aerial engagement to gain a positional advantage over the opponent. BFM are based on aerodynamic, physics, kinematics, energy and geometry concepts

Basic fighter maneuvers (BFM) are tactical movements performed by fighter aircraft during air combat maneuvering (also called ACM, or dogfighting), to gain a positional advantage over the opponent. BFM combines the fundamentals of aerodynamic flight and the geometry of pursuit, with the physics of managing the aircraft’s energy-to-weight ratio, called its specific energy.

So I would like to know how the F-35 and F-22 (multi role) are going to do this as well as the F-15 (true air intercept) or a MIG/et al?
