How many A-10 Warthogs have crashed?
How many A-10 Warthogs have crashed?
(Many returned to base almost unflyable, but only seven Warthogs have ever been shot down or crashed due to combat.)
What is the stall speed of an A-10 Warthog?
If we repeat the exercise for an initial speed of 160 m/s = 576 km/h = 311 kts, and at the same weight of 18,000 kg, we reach stall speed of 61.11 m/s after 66 seconds, if the pilot keeps the thrust at the same setting. They have plenty time to speed up.
How thick is the A-10 Warthogs armor?
0.5 to 1.5 inches
It is made up of titanium plates with thicknesses varying from 0.5 to 1.5 inches (13 to 38 mm) determined by a study of likely trajectories and deflection angles. The armor makes up almost six percent of the aircraft’s empty weight.

When was the A-10C Warthog added to DCS?
The fearsome Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II “Warthog” was the second module added to DCS and features depth and complexity that set the bar for PC simulation titles. This document contains information on both the A-10C “Legacy” initially released in 2011 and the modernized A-10C II “Tank Killer” expansion.
Is the A-10C Warthog a flight simulator?
A-10C Warthog is perhaps the most complex fighter simulation I have ever worked with, having worked with flight simulators (especially Microsoft) since the mid 1980’s. I discovered very quickly that, despite my own flight simulator experience (over 100,000 hours total), it was necessary to read and study the manual carefully.
Who are the A-10C Warthog pilots in stone shield?
