F-22 Raptor Cobra Maneuver

[@encryptedaviation1452]

Finally, somebody who knows what a cobras is, this is a great cobra manuever, it’s controlled and stable without a stall and points the nose down greatly after with two dimensional thrust vectoring. The pilot also had to endure a lot of G-Forces and movement for that to happen. 7, 8 or even 9 Gs he just pulled there. And the engineers of this aircraft have created such a beast that is the raptor, apart from some Russian planes not many aircraft can pull of something like this. America has the sickest planes.

ALMOST EVERY RUSSIAN JET CAN DO THAT EVEN 4GEN FIGHTERS HAVE THRUST VECTOR RUSSIA HAVE THE BEST RADARS BEST PLANES ON THE WORLD WITH THE BEST MANOUVERABILITY

​@ŞΨΣŊ Best radars? No. Almost every russian jet? HELL no. Most maneuverable? Maybe, however I believe the Swedish j35 is slightly more maneuverable than most sukhois and migs

The resume flying height should not be that much….

[@georgehunter2813]

Cobra is a sharp vertical pitch up of the nose without climbing into higher elevation. Cobra should stay in the same original flight path, but with the nose pointed straight up.

@@georgehunter2813 i agree but i think this is better than a cobra

[@georgehunter2813]

@@lars9966 In any case the cobra is a bad idea in combat. It's like 'dropping your pants' for a proximity fuse detonation by a pursuing missile. Looks cool in airshows. That's why the Russians came up with it. All airshow.

@@georgehunter2813 this is better than a cobra. although youre right on that, since a slow aircraft is a dead aircraft. reasons for that are that NATO at least never flies alone on a mission. if a sukhoi does a cobra, the eurofighter as example can just instantly drop the droptanks and go into the vertical since of its phenomenal thrust to weight ratio. the f35 wouldnt do anything since it has a 360° missile track and launch system.

It's hard vertical pull not a cobra

It isn’t Cobra

[@wholewizard9540]

then what is? because this is a cobra maneuver

[@yashkrr]

@@wholewizard9540 No. The fighter practically does not change altitude during the cobra maneuver, but this one does

​@@yashkrrIts just above ground after taking off are you blind? its not travelling fast enough or high enough to do a level cobra. Jesus christ.

[@svpetarSR]

This is "cobra"? No shit!?

[@georgehunter2813]

What this pilot does is the front half of a soft square loop. The pitch change should snap in place with no climb and no soft level out at the top. There is a CGI cobra video that shows a perfect carrier deck cobra pass. Nose snaps vertical, and the jet stays same elevation with deck clearence of the tail constant as it flys in a nose vertical posture....disappointing.

[@michaelhamilton4133]

F22 cannot do a proper cobra manoeuvre like Russian fighters. The only American plane capable of a real cobra is the X-62 VISTA, an experimental F-16.

Looks like a cobra to me

Fool, it is real cobra.
