This time, I decided to work on the videos before the article. For this study, I collected ~1600 datapoints, put together 50-something charts to help me to understand pros and cons of manually lofting an AIM-54. However, before discussing the results, the basics principles of how the Phoenix works, and where it performs better, should be clear.
Ive also barely done a over 200 Miles Shot 2 Years ago, did you have the Video footage? Time to upload mine also :D Great Statistics! Well done at all.
Actual limits? No one knows, besides who worked or used the missile. The 54A pulled 16Gs in a test in mid 70s, and this is public knowledge, but it may be able to pull harder.
@@EEEEEEE354 I guess it was able to pull more (and probably bleed most of its energy). However, I always stick to the numbers we have whenever I can. In fact, I recall an interview where crews stated that the C versions was able to pull double the Gs, but it does not mean much per se, imo.

Didn't HB decrease the burntime to 20 seconds?
Which rocket motor are you referring to?
@@FlyAndWire My bad, checked again- mk60 has around 20 and mk 47 around 27
@@TheSpaseDestroyeR No worries, those values have changed a few times, and perhaps they will change again.
@@FlyAndWire hope for the better:)
@@TheSpaseDestroyeR The closer they are to realistic values, the happier I am :)
Outstanding.
Looking forward to the next videos.

Hi, what did you say the g limit of the AIM-54A was? 16 or 60?

@@FlyAndWire ah, I see. Even the old AIM-7E-2 could pull around 25g so 16 for a big AIM-54 tracks.
