Almansur Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 AT-6 dry lake bed Why is it that the following gear looks to me far less scary? But then again, what do I know?... 1 1

ThreeHoler Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) The real question is who is the winner who is trying so hard to speak like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman? Edited August 18, 2011 by ThreeHoler 1

Me's'a foreigner, patois' different. Sorry, will amend ways. My main question is: doesn't that AT-6 gear look a bit frail for what it is?
HercDude Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 What AT-6? It's already been pointed out that the picture you posted is a Tucano, not a T-6. You can tell by the 5 bladed prop, rounded as opposed to triangular starter air intake below the left cowling, FLIR (or whatever) in the nose as opposed to under the cokpit, and the fact that its has a Brazilian registration number (but odly that looks like a Colombian roundel on the aft fuseladge).

AT-6 on the video, Super Tucano on the picture for comparison... 1

epsilon Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 got to fly the AT-6 2 times last year during an operational eval at DM. It was a sweet airplane actually. 2
astrodog Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 AT-6 seems like a better design. Putting the eye ahead of the exhaust shroud should improve visibilty greatly. 3
Standby Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 How in the world did that engine not shit itself as soon as that dust started flying into the intake?

TrainerModel Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 The Tucano also has an Air-to-air kill under its belt

Inertial separation. Introduces a high-G turn in the intake flow prior to the compressor. Debris is too heavy to make the turn.
