Energy Maneuverability

[JG14_Josf]

Illustration:
1.Kelly J. was never ashamed of the 104 small wing.... He was asked to build a high manoevrable supersonic plane !
2. this where the canards Eu planes are missing the 5th gen contest (the Raf being the less affected in fact): too draggy at high speed to really move like a fish!

Thanks,

There may be much more to that illustration than I can comprehend but a similar illustration is provided with the development of the Fw190. The first working prototype was built with a smaller wing and after testing there was a decision made to make the wing longer or to conform more to the concept of lower wing-loading or higher power-loading which are parts of that Ps equation where T/W (Total Thrust or Power Available) is measured against, or subtracted by D/W (Total Drag or Power Required).

Less wing is less drag.

Look at the Spitfire wing, compare it to a TA-152 wing, and what could be an obvious conclusion made relative to Energy Maneuverability?
