I'll say this: I saw an F-22 demonstration at the Reno National Air Race, It is hands down the LOUDEST fighter ever built. I thought the noise champ was the F-4 in afterburner and until the F-22 it was. All hail the new noise champion - The F-22 Raptor!
That vector thrust is amazing. You can always tell when it's vectoring because the tail of the jet almost breaks loose from the trajectory. Almost looks like the jet is doing a power slide in the air. I want oneeee!
***** They do not need to if they want stealth they can just buy it, like Italy,Denmark, England ect....... Do not forget Israel the maker of one of those is buying 35. Because they tested it and like the idea of a aircraft that can upgrade a entire fleet of gen4 to gen4.5 think about add 1 f-35 information center to a squadron of planes and it means you do not have to buy a squadron of gen 4.5 and only cost 1 plane.A lot of countries wont even use this plane as a fighter/bomber it will be used to upgrade inventory.
Your rt propaganda soaked brain is turning to mush about 3 countries doubled there order after they got a taste of this thing. South Korea just signed a deal for 40 planes (7 bill) England doubled there order and now Japan wants a pile of them. Also Israel increased there order because they want some Stovl aircraft (they said for sure there runways would be taken out fast in a war) A few other countries are considering adding the Stovl to there order of (A)models.
I've been in this argument before many a times. Here's the real low down. The su-35 had ONLY 8 units built ready for combat and only 2 that have been completely setup for combat. To add to this issue. Every one assumes that the Raptor will only carry AMRAAMS. Ridiculous, the normal load out will be a combination of AMRAAMS, sidewinder and sparrow missiles. On top of that. The Raptors radar and ECM make it hard to target. The chaffes on the all the US fighters have a 88% success rate against missiles. While Russian chaffes have a 37% success rate. The Su35 might be slightly more maneuverability but the Sidewinder missile does a u-turn in air once locked on and can be fired from any angle. Add to that US pilots have training and you have Air Superiority. That is what makes us a Superpower.
"can be fired from any angle" High off bore missiles can't be fired from any angle. They can be fired high off boresight. Aka 90°. Russians also have the R-73 which is a 40° HOB missile aaaaaand I just realized I'm replying to a comment that is 8 years old lol.
Exterminence your right it's probably not completely useless...... it would make a good paper-weight. I have friends in the Air Force and it is a well known fact it is an utter pig, go do some research. it cant even spend an hour in the air without needing 3 hours maintenance all for the sake of being stealth?? so are we saying it cant be detected on radar.......No in-fact the F22 is picked up just the same as any other aircraft by long wave radar, the only thing its not picked up by, short wave, awesome so its not invisible but to not show up on half of a wave spectrum you shortened the wings to oblivion which made it less manoeuvrable which also forced it to have to go faster to stay in the air, so you have to burn more fuel which means put it up against a Eurofighters P.I.R.A.T.E and it lights up like a bloody christmas tree. Its a Joke!!
Katerocks5000 another patriotic american with no humility *rolls eyes* the f22 and f35 are expensive duds live with it. it is fact now, hence the end of the F22 programme, the F35 again is a cost effective fighter with compromise. the aim of which to save tax dollars
Erich Ohain I doubt it, he wasn't going more than 175 knots, maybe 5 g's max. and it wouldn't feel that bad because it was for only about half a second.
phuc offenberg Well, remember it isn't a stand still, the plane and pilot are still moving forwards. Think of it not as the plane coming to a standstill and moving up, but more as the plane's direction changing quickly, so the pilot is pushed into his seat but also forwards. Not all the forces of the turn are affecting him negatively. But yeah, if it lasted longer it wouldn't be fun. 4-5 G's is the threshold where it usually gets uncomfortable and blood is pulled towards the bottom of the body, so if it were for an extended period the pilot could maybe start to black out, maybe lose consciousness.
I was at this event when I was blown away by this plane, It inspired an interest in military aircraft and was honoured to be one of the first people to see it officially fly in Europe.
This plane is my Spitfire (Minus the combat history of course) but it looks great, sounds great, performs great, and goes like hell. It's been my dream to fly this since I was 5 (17 now) and I don't care about its problems or cost, if you are gonna dream might as well be a big one.
At Barksdale AFB, about 8 years ago, I saw what was by far the best vertical takeoff. Was a F15. Rolled down the runway, and what looked like the 150yd mark, he pulled straight back and went full throttle. The tail looked like it came within an inch of hitting the ground, and he went straight up about 500yds, and then pitched over and leveled off. Since then, I've been to several other military airshows(including there the very next year), and although they all have an F15 or F22 do an extreme vertical takeoff, none have every repeated what I saw that afternoon. Not one video here on youtube even comes close.
Might have been 10 years. Was a great airshow. They even went a little overboard with the pyro and set the field on fire a little more than they anticipated lol(the concussion and heat were great though).
Gareth Thomas ha, ha.....good one Gareth, I used to watch six at a time do this at air shows with my father the noise was amazing, the rate of climb stupendous, there are many figures for this published but secret figures apparently far exceed these......beautiful to watch that's for sure
braidiedog crap range and limited ordnance but what a plane, I doubt many today could climb to a 70000ft ceiling as quickly without being modified (that special F15 comes to mind) even the f22. There was a nutter in S.Africa still flying one until recently I think, private owner.
Oh yeah and I forgot. Your comment is pointless. Why? Mig are old. At least SU you would say. And Sukhoi's are beasts. Lets not forget the one I already mentioned T-50 PAK FA.
Since it handles so differently than typical aircraft, I wonder how they know when it's out of control? It always looks out of control, lol! It's like drifting but in the sky.
Yes, modern fighters are actually always in a sense "out of control" they have flat and angeled aerofoils and a center of mass and lift etc. that makes them be inherently unstable, so it's impossible to control without computer stabilization. But this makes them very able to maneurvre very fast.
***** When The JAS 39 Gripen was new the test pilot compeered in to sitting on the hood of a car and steering a bike going backwards while travelling forward at 70 kph... The computers are essential...
Most modern aircraft are aerodynamically unstable. Computers allow you to fly it in a straight line or turn. However if you loose airspeed you loose lift(stall) so the computers controlling the surface controls won't help since thier is no air going over the wings. With Thrust vectoring you can maintain control and point your nose down to get airflow over the wings and regain control.
Omni Potent The Gripen crash in Stockholm was due to a tug of war between the pilot input and the computer correcting because of imminent stall. Solution? Now when the computer and pilot don't agree, the computer ignore the pilot. :)
+John19501000 The Typhoon, is an energy fighter, it was built to have great energy retention. the f22 is basically just a fighter that can get the job done asap, originally the WW2 Typhoon was to energy fight for example, BnZ (Boom and Zoom), zoom climbing after diving on enemy, and since it was so heavy it could build up speed very quickly on a dive. The F22 to my opinion is like the buffed up version of the F84, it doesn't have to be a beast in each and every way, just complete the objective, avoid and hostile combat, and rtb asap. But Russian jets, they have been charmed with Stalinium, explains their incredible manuevers. lol
The Typhoon is a great fighter in every way, the F 22 is so expensive they stopped production, it still costs so much it rarely flies. The WW II Typhoon and later Tempest were not much heavier than the P 51 and much lighter than the P 47. The Tempest which like the lightweight Spitfire could dive on the enemy, both could also maneuver and climb better than most fighters. The F 22 only has to be better than an old Mig flown by poorly trained pilots, the same ass the F 15. Just as well because the F 22 which has so called stealth has little else to offer.
f-22 cant really go into a vertical stall, not with an experienced pilot anyways or unless its overloaded. The afterburner provides more thrust than the aircraft weighs with fuel so it could take off vertically if there was some way to keep it stable at slow speeds.
I'm going to act like a Russian on a Russian video. WOW! JUST BEAUTIFUL! AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY IS THE BEST! NO WONDER THIS THING IS AMERICAN! WE ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE MAKE SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS.
HUGE problem however.....they are TOO GOOD....when something is SO ridiculously expensive to produce? It is literally "to good"....which would be "best" ? 10 of the BEST most high tech computer aimed ultra lightweight ultra precision rifles in the whole world? OR 1000 plain ol production line AK47s manufactured for the SAME amount of money?? Which would make you more proud to deploy against an advancing enemy? ....sometimes a rich guy can outsmart himself and get left in the dust by someone with much less but is thinking SMARTER...you know?
When everyone's got a stealth fighter then what? Its like going back in time! I think the USAF and NAVY are going to have to re-open TOP GUN in California to teach advanced dog fighting maneuvers for today's "Stealth Fighters" because eventually when Russia and china get stealth fighters like the F22 and you have 2 fighter jets closing in on each other and they cant see each other until visual range well then its back to the good old Red Baron days before fighter pilots had radar and could only make visual contact and had to dog fight! We are becoming so advanced its taking us backwards!
That's not exactly how it works. Stealth is only as good as the sensors that are detecting it. It's kind of like the back and forth between armor and weaponry. As stealth technology increases so does the technology to detect said technology, nothing will ever be totally invisible to the sensor array's of a highly technologically advanced country such as the US. The trick is being able to identify what those sensors are picking up as what they really are, but likely in 50 years the F-22 will be just as visible to a sensor array as the F-15 is today. That being said, i don't think the dog fight will ever truly die. If you have two jets that are equally matched both in pilot skill and technology, they will eventually close on each other into visual range.
Stealth allows you to sneak in...look at this F22, she can turn on a dime. What a dogfighter ! If you're saying the pilots need training on maneuvering basics, yeah, can't hurt. Not a video game up there like most people think. To think a war will be fought w/ missles at a stand-off distance is a nice thought, but prepare for anything, because when hostilities break out anything is possibe. You better know your airplane and be prepared , otherwise you will probably " kiss the sky".
Stealth is useless, the tax payer is getting ripped off its a gimmick, long wave radar from the 1940's would still pick up a F22 today and thats the truth, you are compromising safety for an experimental inferior fighter when have you seen an F22 win at war games?? never its a dog and so is the F35 too many compromises.
+Asbjørn Grandt Each jet has a different role dude, F-22 is an air-superiority fighter while the F-35 is a multi-role fighter that specializes in air-to-ground missions.
+rowan 'bouwman Who's everyone? F-35 isn't operational yet and hasn't been used in real combat, so where did everyone get it that it's a huge fail?! Above that, the fighter is undergoing testing & developing, and most of its real capabilities haven't been shown to public yet.
+John19501000 The problem my friend is that you compare older fighter programs with a new program like the F-35 one, which is a big mistake i think. This is a fifth generation fighter with state-of-the-art technologies that never been used in any other program before, above that this is going to be the main USN & USAF fighter for some upcoming generations, so i 'm not convinced that it's gonna be a turkey as i am sure that those people know what they really need to get their job done, finally one more thing delaying doesn't mean failure as the f-22 program (which is a successful one) started in 1981 but the f-22 itself has entered service in 2005 after a lot of developments.
+Wafeek Hassan The F35 is an Air-to-ground jet, not really a fighter which the F22 is so you'd have to buy those, too. I hope you are right though but my problem with the F35 is not that it can't be a good yet hugely overpriced plane, it isn't what we need. We don't need first-strike aircraft we need defensive stuff - but that all comes down to opinion in the end
What makes this even more amazing is the fact that the afterburners aren't even fully lit after wheels up. I'd love to see what this bird is *really* capable of but sadly that info is and will remain classified for at least another 20 years.
Russians are masters of propaganda and always exaggerate their technological capacity. Mind you they do make good planes (oftentimes ones which are much cheaper to produce and maintain) but they are at least 20 years behind
fuggotry Russains "masters of propaganda"? I think it is USA who is the master propagandists in the WORLD. USA uses media warfare and propaganda like no other country, including Russia. You have just a stereotypical cold war mentality. Sorry, but USSR is no more. RF does not need to lie, unlike USA!
wolfe tone The F-22 has the latest technology. It is stealth. It has the radar signature of an ant, and the thrust-vectoring that gives it a lot of maneuverability much helps its air to air capability. Nothing will see it coming. What is better?
Thank you for editing the video to start at the actual beginning of the action... so many people on youtube seem to be completely ignorant of the possibility of editing out 20 minutes of nothingness, to catch 20 seconds of action.
Though I'm no big fan of the American military establishment, you cannot deny they sure know how to build 'em. They give you something to look forward to over and over again, their innovation knows no bounds. That takeoff was impressive PERIOD!
@ bajaman123X But at what price? You can buy 3 Typhoon fighters and have change for the price of one F22. Ask a general if he would prefer fewer but slightly more capable or more and slightly less capable. In war attrition counts more than maximum ability. Apart from which the Typhoon has defeated F22s in more than a few exercises.
Good camera work. The plane was in view the entire time and you didn't have to pan out at any time. Technically it was a good take and I'm happy you started a comment war about who is better at what.
The best takeoff I have ever seen was an f-22 at the Avalon airshow just outside of Melbourne Australia. Instead of going vertical, he got to just opposite me in the crowd and did a tight, left bank away from us exposing it's underbelly, and that noise 😮😯😮😎😎😎🤗🤗 That crackle, I'll NEVER forget! The thing that really peeved me, was that my phone shut down because it got too hot (40deg Celsius) so I got no footage. Seriously, just as it started its takeoff run. 🥺😡
Yes Barrie I have to agree with you - I saw the Lightning acrobatic team on several occasions as a kid and I have never forgotten the feeling in my stomach as the ground shook as they went vertical! The Raptor was good and looked very sinister ... But nothing compares with the Lighning!
"is a type of phased array radar whose transmitter and receiver functions are composed of numerous small solid-state transmit/receive modules (TRMs). AESA radars aim their "beam" by emitting separate radio waves from each module that interfere constructively at certain angles in front of the antenna. They improve on the older passive electronically scanned radars by spreading their signal emissions out across a band of frequencies, which
I saw this plane at an airshow and it was the star of the show, not only because of the maneuvers but the SOUND. Somehow this single jet was louder than six f-18's, because of the way it was shearing the air.
The most impressive unclassified fighter I've ever seen, which makes me wonder - what do we have that's classified that we as the public don't know about?
At an airshow I watched an F-15 do a "maximum performance" take off..it lifted off, gained some speed and then pulled into a vertical climb and went out of sight, still vertical. it's still the "hot rod" among fighter aircraft. VERY loud too.
Hi i was at that airshow this aircraft stole the entire show, the commutator was fantastic, and i and thousands of other people were stuck for words as this aircraft flew.
No argument as regards people's excitement. Crowds watching the original "Short's" "flying bedstead" going through it's paces were also suitably impressed. I fully agree with your observation, people like to see, hear and "feel", power and speed as a spectacle.
Brilliant show and a pretty amazing aircraft but very very expensive. A Typhoon does 'Brakes-off' to Mach 1.6 at 36,000 ft in less than 150 secs. EE Lightnings in the 60s were doing standing start to vertical climb,at optimum climb profile, to reach 36,000 ft in under three minutes.
The F-22 Has the latest technology and weapons systems available today. Combat radious is very good. Can hold their own v.s. Russian aircraft if pitted against jet v.s. jet. Makes the newest F-15 take a 2nd place back seat when compared all in all. A joy to fly for all of our high ranking officers and pilots who fly them daily Noble and fearless when actual air to air combat comes along anytime/anywhere. Todays technology needs todays most advanced aircraft and the answer is the F-22.
stuckinthemud All of this information is due to the courtesy of the history channel and it's called dogfights of the future. Lets face it if and god forbid WW3 comes it will all be done in outer space,but the technologies in todays weaponry will also be used to fight future wars. The B-1 and B-2 bombers will be used to do battle against SAMs. The B-52 bomber won't have any kind of future because by the time that year and decade comes around,the last 90 bombers will have run out of parts unless BOEING comes up with plans to revamp and revitalize the entire fleet of jet bombers,and have them all totally computerized and updated with the latest late 21st through 22nd century technology. In fighter jets the F-15 will be on it's most highly sophisticated and updated innovations thanks due to the great crew at boeing who know what it takes. Want to know more.? dogfightsof the future/youtube/historychannel..
Yea, I agree. Both are still flying in various airforces around the world today. The Mig was more nimble especially in the horizontal fight; while the Phantom was more powerful and better suited for going verticle.

Thats nothing!
You should hear my car!! :D
Louder than the Phantom? Good Lord! My ears ring just thinking about those things booming over head.
Mine too!
Well the F-22 which is twin-engined like the Phantom IMHO is louder with no smoke due to almost 30-years of progress on engine design.
That vector thrust is amazing. You can always tell when it's vectoring because the tail of the jet almost breaks loose from the trajectory. Almost looks like the jet is doing a power slide in the air. I want oneeee!
Thrust Vectoring. The nozzles of the engine actually move, thus it can do those kinds of maneuvers.
not on this version...think you may be on about the JSF VTOL 35B version(?)
weedfreer Incorrect, the F-22 utilizes thrust vectoring to allow these spectacular maneuvers.
And that my friend is thrust vectoring!
+John19501000 and that is a good thing because if it starts to get busy we are all in trouble.
+Matt Slattery
Just as well there are far better planes that do not need thrust vectoring and they work.

I go to the airshows to watch this plane specifically it's crazy unbelieveable what it can do nothing else out there that can fly like this.
the coolest take off of all time!

I'd sell my own sweet, loving mother into a lifetime of hard labor if it meant I could fly this plane for a few minutes
aXe m me too.
I can't stop laughing omg
I'm going to act like a Russian on a Russian video.
WOW! JUST BEAUTIFUL! AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY IS THE BEST! NO WONDER THIS THING IS AMERICAN! WE ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE MAKE SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS.
HUGE problem however.....they are TOO GOOD....when something is SO ridiculously expensive to produce? It is literally "to good"....which would be "best" ? 10 of the BEST most high tech computer aimed ultra lightweight ultra precision rifles in the whole world? OR 1000 plain ol production line AK47s manufactured for the SAME amount of money?? Which would make you more proud to deploy against an advancing enemy? ....sometimes a rich guy can outsmart himself and get left in the dust by someone with much less but is thinking SMARTER...you know?
Great video, impressive maneuvers/takeoff!! Thanks for sharing!
Was the afterburner on the whole time?
Wouldn't have thought so because there are some slow speed manoeuvres, but I stand to be corrected
When everyone's got a stealth fighter then what? Its like going back in time! I think the USAF and NAVY are going to have to re-open TOP GUN in California to teach advanced dog fighting maneuvers for today's "Stealth Fighters" because eventually when Russia and china get stealth fighters like the F22 and you have 2 fighter jets closing in on each other and they cant see each other until visual range well then its back to the good old Red Baron days before fighter pilots had radar and could only make visual contact and had to dog fight! We are becoming so advanced its taking us backwards!
That's not exactly how it works. Stealth is only as good as the sensors that are detecting it. It's kind of like the back and forth between armor and weaponry. As stealth technology increases so does the technology to detect said technology, nothing will ever be totally invisible to the sensor array's of a highly technologically advanced country such as the US. The trick is being able to identify what those sensors are picking up as what they really are, but likely in 50 years the F-22 will be just as visible to a sensor array as the F-15 is today. That being said, i don't think the dog fight will ever truly die. If you have two jets that are equally matched both in pilot skill and technology, they will eventually close on each other into visual range.
Philip Mooney Thats exactly what i said....
Stealth allows you to sneak in...look at this F22, she can turn on a dime. What a dogfighter ! If you're saying the pilots need training on maneuvering basics, yeah, can't hurt. Not a video game up there like most people think. To think a war will be fought w/ missles at a stand-off distance is a nice thought, but prepare for anything, because when hostilities break out anything is possibe. You better know your airplane and be prepared , otherwise you will probably " kiss the sky".
Stealth is useless, the tax payer is getting ripped off its a gimmick, long wave radar from the 1940's would still pick up a F22 today and thats the truth, you are compromising safety for an experimental inferior fighter when have you seen an F22 win at war games?? never its a dog and so is the F35 too many compromises.
Evan Anderson
Will you fuck off already? its already pretty clear you have no idea what you are talking about.
Looking at the Raptor is like watching science and art come together in a creation of beauty.
cameraman deserves hugs. easily the best short f22 vid that i know of.
I wonder how much cheaper it would be if the US cancelled the F-35 program, and started building F-22's instead.
+Asbjørn Grandt Each jet has a different role dude, F-22 is an air-superiority fighter while the F-35 is a multi-role fighter that specializes in air-to-ground missions.
+Wafeek Hassan f-35 is a huge fail, everyone knows that
+rowan 'bouwman Who's everyone? F-35 isn't operational yet and hasn't been used in real combat, so where did everyone get it that it's a huge fail?! Above that, the fighter is undergoing testing & developing, and most of its real capabilities haven't been shown to public yet.
+John19501000 The problem my friend is that you compare older fighter programs with a new program like the F-35 one, which is a big mistake i think. This is a fifth generation fighter with state-of-the-art technologies that never been used in any other program before, above that this is going to be the main USN & USAF fighter for some upcoming generations, so i 'm not convinced that it's gonna be a turkey as i am sure that those people know what they really need to get their job done, finally one more thing delaying doesn't mean failure as the f-22 program (which is a successful one) started in 1981 but the f-22 itself has entered service in 2005 after a lot of developments.
+Wafeek Hassan The F35 is an Air-to-ground jet, not really a fighter which the F22 is so you'd have to buy those, too. I hope you are right though but my problem with the F35 is not that it can't be a good yet hugely overpriced plane, it isn't what we need. We don't need first-strike aircraft we need defensive stuff - but that all comes down to opinion in the end
When was the last time another country had advantage over USA in the sky? NEVER!
Good god, what a plane. Surely the greatest machine ever made by man.
I saw F22 Raptor at a airshow in SF last year and that thing is loud. Just the noise will blow you away.
That is great take off. But compared to Mig (Russian) take off this is nothing. watch and compare.
+Adilkhan Seidkerimuli. No other jet can do a Z stall like this. Search all you want....
su 35 was better
This is why the YF-22 RAPTOR is the best fighter it's agility helps it. It can takeoff and go 20knts while flying
What makes this even more amazing is the fact that the afterburners aren't even fully lit after wheels up. I'd love to see what this bird is *really* capable of but sadly that info is and will remain classified for at least another 20 years.
Cool. The Russians have had planes like that for ten years or more.
Its called super-maneuverability and they have had planes that can do that stuff for awhile. Some modern SU's and Migs can fly just like that raptor.
Russians are masters of propaganda and always exaggerate their technological capacity. Mind you they do make good planes (oftentimes ones which are much cheaper to produce and maintain) but they are at least 20 years behind
fuggotry Russains "masters of propaganda"? I think it is USA who is the master propagandists in the WORLD. USA uses media warfare and propaganda like no other country, including Russia. You have just a stereotypical cold war mentality. Sorry, but USSR is no more. RF does not need to lie, unlike USA!
Modern Russia lies all of the time for propaganda purposes, have you ever visited pravda.ru, Russia Today, or RIA Novosti?
Still a shit jet fighter, can't even evade Russian and Chinese radar!
False.
prove it
wolfe tone The F-22 has the latest technology. It is stealth. It has the radar signature of an ant, and the thrust-vectoring that gives it a lot of maneuverability much helps its air to air capability. Nothing will see it coming. What is better?
Bullshit
wolfe tone Think what you want.
Thank you for editing the video to start at the actual beginning of the action... so many people on youtube seem to be completely ignorant of the possibility of editing out 20 minutes of nothingness, to catch 20 seconds of action.
That pilot is very skilled, I saw the takeoff at the Tuscaloosa airshow
Though I'm no big fan of the American military establishment, you cannot deny they sure know how to build 'em. They give you something to look forward to over and over again, their innovation knows no bounds. That takeoff was impressive PERIOD!
The Raptor is hands-down the best aircraft in the world today. This is a fact, not even open to discussion.
End of story, period.
@ bajaman123X
But at what price? You can buy 3 Typhoon fighters and have change for the price of one F22. Ask a general if he would prefer fewer but slightly more capable or more and slightly less capable. In war attrition counts more than maximum ability. Apart from which the Typhoon has defeated F22s in more than a few exercises.
what a serious bit of kit that thing is! great video cheers
I kept on yelling GO FASTER GO FASTER while watching this LOL
Good camera work. The plane was in view the entire time and you didn't have to pan out at any time. Technically it was a good take and I'm happy you started a comment war about who is better at what.
what a beautiful piece of engineering! I must draw this!
Very impressive - nice camera work too
Looks like it was off the ground at less than 4 seconds. Lots of power to work with there...and thrust vectoring surely does not hurt!!
that's how it stood up so perfectly straight !
The best takeoff I have ever seen was an f-22 at the Avalon airshow just outside of Melbourne Australia. Instead of going vertical, he got to just opposite me in the crowd and did a tight, left bank away from us exposing it's underbelly, and that noise 😮😯😮😎😎😎🤗🤗
That crackle, I'll NEVER forget! The thing that really peeved me, was that my phone shut down because it got too hot (40deg Celsius) so I got no footage.
Seriously, just as it started its takeoff run. 🥺😡
Saw one at the air show in Oceana. Fabulous aircraft !!!
If I could fly one of these my life would be complete.
yeah i had the treat of seeing a few of these maneuvering around Ouffit Airforce Base in Omaha along side of a P-38. really neat!
If I could pilot this aircraft my life would be complete.
Simply amazing.
I like how it look when the belly of the plane turns up and you can see the clouds and air rushing past it.
unbelievable display.. incredible aircraft. thanks for sharing...
Amazed!
+ ya gotta love that sound!! :)
those two 119 P&W engines produce an insane amount of thrust....and noise
Yes Barrie I have to agree with you - I saw the Lightning acrobatic team on several occasions as a kid and I have never forgotten the feeling in my stomach as the ground shook as they went vertical! The Raptor was good and looked very sinister ... But nothing compares with the Lighning!
I don't know why you people are complaining about the types of aircraft and pride, this is freaking too awesome.
Thank you for you service.
it looks like paper with thrust. Its so smooth in the air
Is that vacuum-induced condensation above the wing when it goes straight up?
.
Truly a beautiful aircraft
Can u tell me -please- what is exactly the UNBELIEVABLE thing in this take off ???
"is a type of phased array radar whose transmitter and receiver functions are composed of numerous small solid-state transmit/receive modules (TRMs). AESA radars aim their "beam" by emitting separate radio waves from each module that interfere constructively at certain angles in front of the antenna. They improve on the older passive electronically scanned radars by spreading their signal emissions out across a band of frequencies, which
But does it have Bluetooth so I can connect my iPhone 6 Plus to it?
I saw this plane at an airshow and it was the star of the show, not only because of the maneuvers but the SOUND. Somehow this single jet was louder than six f-18's, because of the way it was shearing the air.
Insane agility. This is one incredible machine.
The most impressive unclassified fighter I've ever seen, which makes me wonder - what do we have that's classified that we as the public don't know about?
Lovely and awesome takeoff
The f22 CRAPtor, first flight Sept 1997, today 16 years later it is still not combat ready. Fantastic.
Great camerawork!
I like to imagine the pilot screaming "POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" while pulling this one XD
At an airshow I watched an F-15 do a "maximum performance" take off..it lifted off, gained some speed and then pulled into a vertical climb and went out of sight, still vertical. it's still the "hot rod" among fighter aircraft. VERY loud too.
What an incredible jet fighter plane! Truly the number 1 in the world period!
This is a really cool video i love planes especially this one
And people say it isn't maneuverable. Look at that takeoff and how it went vertical so fast!
Hi i was at that airshow this aircraft stole the entire show, the commutator was fantastic, and i and thousands of other people were stuck for words as this aircraft flew.
No argument as regards people's excitement. Crowds watching the original "Short's" "flying bedstead" going through it's paces were also suitably impressed. I fully agree with your observation, people like to see, hear and "feel", power and speed as a spectacle.
Do u guys know the ceiling and the deck to max. Climb rate
Brilliant show and a pretty amazing aircraft but very very expensive. A Typhoon does 'Brakes-off' to Mach 1.6 at 36,000 ft in less than 150 secs. EE Lightnings in the 60s were doing standing start to vertical climb,at optimum climb profile, to reach 36,000 ft in under three minutes.
The Raptor is the best and only operational Generation 5 fighter on the planet. Your living in a dream world.
How much runway did it use to takeoff? It doesn't look like much, but I've read that all jets would need a catapult on an aircraft carrier.
the square intakes are very Mig like. Are they really so stealthy?
The F-22
Has the latest technology and weapons systems available today.
Combat radious is very good.
Can hold their own v.s. Russian aircraft if pitted against jet v.s. jet.
Makes the newest F-15 take a 2nd place back seat when compared all in all.
A joy to fly for all of our high ranking officers and pilots who fly them daily
Noble and fearless when actual air to air combat comes along anytime/anywhere.
Todays technology needs todays most advanced aircraft and the answer is the F-22.
So how long have you worked at Lockeed?
stuckinthemud All of this information is due to the courtesy of the history channel and it's called dogfights of the future.
Lets face it if and god forbid WW3 comes it will all be done in outer space,but the technologies in todays weaponry will also be used to fight future wars.
The B-1 and B-2 bombers will be used to do battle against SAMs.
The B-52 bomber won't have any kind of future because by the time that year and decade comes around,the last 90 bombers will have run out of parts unless BOEING comes up with plans to revamp and revitalize the entire fleet of jet bombers,and have them all totally computerized and updated with the latest late 21st through 22nd century technology.
In fighter jets the F-15 will be on it's most highly sophisticated and updated innovations thanks due to the great crew at boeing who know what it takes.
Want to know more.?
dogfightsof the future/youtube/historychannel..
Yea, I agree. Both are still flying in various airforces around the world today. The Mig was more nimble especially in the horizontal fight; while the Phantom was more powerful and better suited for going verticle.
