The recently released F-100D Super Sabre for DCS World is already generating plenty of interest, but how does it really handle at the edge of its flight envelope? In this video, we take an in-depth look at the aircraft's handling characteristics and explore some of the behaviors that made the Super Sabre famous.
We begin by examining the notorious "Sabre Dance", the dangerous low-speed instability that challenged many F-100 pilots. From there, we conduct a series of flight tests covering low-energy stalls, vertical stalls, and high-energy turning stalls to see how the aircraft behaves under a variety of conditions.
Whether you're learning to fly the F-100D in DCS World, interested in Cold War aviation, or simply want to better understand this iconic fighter's strengths and limitations, this analysis will provide valuable insight into the Super Sabre's flight characteristics.
