SMSgt Mac,
Thank you. I checked the paper though and different KPP requirements have different configurations. The KPP's related to maneuverability assume all air-to-ground munitions are expended and 60% remaining fuel. There is a requirement for internal carry of 2x 2K JDAMs and 2x AMRAAMs for a bank angle of 30 degrees. And it looks like the combat radius requirements are along that same mission profile. But if I had to guess I would think transonic accelleration would be more along the lines of the mission profiles for air-to-air maneuverability than combat radius or some minimum bank threshold. Unless there is somewhere else in that document or elsewhere that makes that clear. Is there?
