All hail to Aero-Dynamics and Fluid Engineering! Taking-Off requires more thrust than cruising at altitude.If an aircraft is to go into air with 1 drop tank and full weapons load, they say yo keep the fuel minimum so an aircraft can takeoff easily and then refuel the plan in mid air, but i don't understand with full weapons load and full refuel load isn't aircraft going to face problems w.r.t such excess loads or will these excess load will restrict aircraft maneuverability greatly and causes jitteriness or would aircraft has to burn it's afterburners to remain afloat with such loads?
