Max Descent Rate on Touchdown
-
Hello,
What is the maximum vertical speed a real F-16 can take on touchdown before damaging the landing gear?
Thank you

10 fps at low weight decreasing to 6 fps at MLW (basic +11?). Beyond that e.g. MGW, 4 fps. This is not including 1.5 safety factor.

Does the F-16 have a maximum landing weight?
Thank you

I don’t know how it is in real life, but according to BMS Dash 1 it doesn’t:
The F-16 doesn’t have a maximum landing weight. You can land the aircraft at any weight as long as
the runway is long enough to accommodate the longer landing roll.
