military - How much is airspeed reduced on an A10-Warthog …
2017年12月4日 · $\begingroup$ Specifically, the gases generated by the gun firing are oxygen poor, so if they get into the engine it can cause a flame out due to lack of oxygen. In order to counteract this, A-10 pilots are recommended to fire in 3-4 second burts and the pilot light for the engine is triggered to engage when the gun is firing. $\endgroup$ –
