Since when has the Pusscat ever been STOL? LOL!

Far from it. But yes it has operated once or twice from Autobahns in Germany but a nice long straight section is required...

Superb model tho, well done Alpha Sim... Again!

According to some of my encyclopedias the Jaguar is a STOL aircraft, but I can't find any data related to take-off length.

But did you know that the Jag has a rough field capability?

On a video of mine there is footage of a Jaguar taking off from an unprepared grass strip. Boy does the mud fly!!

Its probably why it sits so high on the under carraige. It looks nice but and RAF friend of my dads I was speaking to said it is a nasty aircraft to fly and turns like a dog but I may still get it cause those camo textures are the nicest I've seen in a while.

Think I've seen that clip as well.
I read about a jag student a few years back, on his 2nd flight after joining his first squadron he had an engine failure on takeoff and as a result ejected at extreme low altitude. The injuries sustained ended his flying career. 6 months in hospital and a medical discharge, poor b*st*rd.
As to the performance of the jag, its drasticaly underpowered for a combat aircraft as it was originaly intended as a supersonic trainer. Something akin to the T-38.
Also the french navy developed the Jag M and gave up on it. Instead the updated the Etandard and waited for the Rafale.

That looks one hell of an aircraft - the 2nd shot with the reheat is the best one!

Alphasim have done it again - well done guys.

STOL Characteristics? - well a clean Jag would need approx 2000ft of runway to get airborne and when we start adding rising temperatures/weapons loads to the equation, we are talking something between 6000-7000ft of Runway!

Still it has its merits...... Cheesy
