PERFORMANCE & HANDLING

Performance estimates are based upon a standard SM-27S/T aircraft at CTOW or MTOW as specified. MTOW configuration is representative of an external warload including 2 x GBU-31 and 2 x GBU-38 under ISA, standard day conditions. Takeoff and landing field lengths are based on level, hard surface runways with zero wind. Ferry range is unarmed with external tanks.
