It's lack of manueverability is not nearly as bad as some would have you believe; 5G's at mach 2.83 is far superior to the 1.5G's the SR-71 is limited to. In fact, an AV-8B cannot pull more than 4G's in a sustained turn in level flight at sea level, you normally see those really high G's in quick turns or on machines like the F-22, which can actually turn tightly enough to enter it's own ass. In any case, the foxbat/hound can only outmanuever really REALLY sluggish designs such as the Panavia Tornado, which is less manueverable than an F-4. It's engines get their best performance at mach 2+ and below that they are anemic, and combined with the immense weight from all that steel construction, it's best when not asked to turn tightly. Also, doesn't a Zeppelin have a turn radius of 0? a Ferrari F50 can't turn around in that area.

It is probably not as maneuverable as a Zeppelin either. Or as an SR-71...or many other things. It is only the best for the role it was conceived and built. I think this is enough criteria for a plan or a plane. (By the way, if we are at the Su-subject: is anything as maneuverable ast the new Sukhoys?)

the question is: how, e why?
