Twenty Unknown Details Regarding the A-10 Thunderbolt

5. Maneuverable At Slow Speeds

The A-10 is extremely agile at low speeds because its ailerons are bigger than those of most other aircraft.

6. Less Damage During Gear-up Landing

Even when the nacelles are retracted, the A-10’s primary landing gear wheels protrude, minimizing damage to the aircraft in the event that it must land gear-up. It can also be maintained from a forward area and returned to battle far sooner than other aircraft due to its detachable landing gear that can be used on either side.

7. Fly In The Extreme Situation

The airplane is built to fly with only one engine, one elevator, one tail, and one missing wing half. It is occasionally employed to track severe weather systems and is also capable of flying into super-cell thunderstorms. They also have a Google-enabled pilot seat and Night Vision Imaging Systems installed.

8. Nine Degrees of Engines

The aircraft’s high-mounted engines are inclined nine degrees upward to prevent tipping down.
