What is the pedal turn that generates a constant 28deg/sec?

On the topic of optical trickery, this is also what makes the F-35's powerslide turn maneuver look so showy. Wonder why it always climbs away from the audience? Aligning the velocity vector with the audience's sightline minimizes the apparent radius of the turn.

Its more for public safety rather than visual trickery

This ^^. A thousand times this. The F-22 and F-35 displays look like the pilot is commanding everything. The Su-xx displays look like the pilot gives a large input, hangs on for dear life while Issac Newton drives for a bit, and then recovers.

Like Jon Beesley said ten years ago about Sukhoi air show stunts that they are ballistic maneuvers with rather little control over what happens during the maneuver. He also described perfectly how F-22 and F-35 maneuvers during those same maneuvers.
