Are you really saying that a jet being flown with 10,000 pounds of thrust, at full throttle, can be duplicated by a near identical aircraft using only its max thrust of 7,500 pounds of thrust. Example : pulling up for a loop at say 350 knots and 4 g.with 10 k of thrust will certainly not produce the same speed and dimensions when using only 7.5 k of thrust.
I have never flown a Hunter but the JP3 and 4 had similar thrust variations, 1750 and 2,500 pounds, simply no comparison, particularly in vertical manoeuvres. I find what you say hard to believe.. Perhaps you could explain and at least satisfy my curiosity.
