Secret Documents #120: F-5E Tiger II Update - Engine & Fuel Management
Added 2022-03-02 15:16:16 +0000 UTCHi folks!
Powerplant and fuel systems are probably some of my favorite sections to write about. It's interesting to note that the F-5 still has two J85 turbojet engines, which were starting to become outdated at that time. They won't give you the raw powerful thrust of the MiG-21, but the agility of the F-5 still makes it a serious threat to be reckoned with. I've added a few important notes for the fuel sections, especially when it came to fuel balancing and the external fuel tank jettison procedure.
