THE RD-33 PHOENIX: HOW AN ENGINE LEARNED TO SURVIVE COLLAPSE
In the 1980s, at airshows around the world, the MiG-29 did something that looked impossible. It slowed almost to a stop mid-air, nose high, wings shuddering on the edge of stall — then descended in a controlled, leaf-like motion before recovering smoothly. No thrust vectoring. No digital flight control tricks. Just aerodynamics, pilot skill — and an engine that refused to quit when airflow collapsed. That maneuver is called the Falling Leaf. And it exists because the RD-33 survived something far more dangerous than any dogfight.
