    Yes way! LOL The F-15 is faster than the F-22 or any other US plane. However, the F-22 has the ability to "supercruise" at a bit over Mach 1.2 or so WITHOUT using afterburners...so it can maintain that speed for a lot longer. The F-15 has to use its afterburners to go very fast, and that burns up fuel REALLY fast. Also, the F-22 has vectored thrust nozzles, so it can perform maneuvers that the F-15 cannot. In practice and simulations and war games, the F-22 consistently wins against all other planes...mostly because it almost always sees the enemy before they see it.

      Well it's just the evolution of aircraft "rock, paper, scissors." You had plane, then plane with gun, then plane with more gun. Move to big plane with lots of gun, maneuverable plane with good guns, jet plane with gun, (branch to rocket plane trials,) plane that can take off vertically, gun that is a plane, plane that is super fast, and now we're onto plane that you only see once it's killed you. Each version progressively beating out or improving over the last version. I feel like the next iteration might be space plane with gun.

    Another point about the F-15 that The Fat Electrician doesn't mention is that the F-15 was panic developed to counteract the Mig-25 FoxBat. The Soviet Union developed the Mig-25 and kept posting numbers about it's climb speed and performance in test, without verification of the numbers or footage proving anything so take your boulder of rock salt with each claim, and the USA had nothing close to that. The F-4 and F-5 was the best we had then so we started making the F-15 to the specs laid out. We got our hands on a Mig-25 and it turned out that it was a high altitude interceptor where the F-15 is an air superiority fighter. So the FoxBat was designed to swoop down and take out targets as they flew in. The Eagle's just bringing the hurt wherever at mach 2.3.
    The wings generate lift, but if it's moving fast enough, then the lift being generated is actually more like the thing is nosing up all the time. Without the 1 wing, it'll want to bank a little and possibly yaw to the wingless side, but the tail vertical fins are what keeps it going straight. Without those, there's a good chance that F-15 would have become a jet powered frisbee.
    Modern stealth fighters don't need to be as fast. The best survival tactic before stealth was the SR-71 tactic of be faster than the threat. That's what the F-15 was built to do. Every fighter after the F-18 has been built for stealth and therefore does not need to go mach 2.5. In fact going mach speed counter acts stealth as you might show up on radar as a stupidly fast bumble bee, but you're also going to be shaking the atmosphere as you zip past everything. So if they didn't know you were there by radar, they know you're there because their windows just shook out of their frames. Also going mach speed for too long (usually meant for travel and escape) does a bit of a number on the stealth coating on the F-22 and F-35. So instead of shoving bigger engines in those for faster flight, might as well make room for more advanced electronics, more fuel, and more weapons. It's just a different objective for survival that's made that change.

      not really becasue the flat side of its fuselage is enough to keep it straight with speed, acting as a wing. the pilot noted he sped up and the plane became controllable again. the simulations also showed the twin rudders had little effect in stabilizing the aircraft.

      @Sarah-cq1vb 2 месяца назад +1

      There is another reason we haven’t built a faster plane. It’s because people are unable to endure the g-forces of going faster. The forces placed on these pilots is already almost superhuman to the point we had to develop special breathing/ muscle control techniques and mechanical flight suits to make sure the pilot doesn’t pass out during the maneuver. So instead of going faster we just decided to be smarter. We can’t reengineer the human circulatory system yet so we decided that we would just be more sneaky.

    I was a jet engine tech in the Air Force and after my service stint as a civilian contractor (about 17 years total). Most of those years was working on the F-15 and F-16 engines.
    Just for clarification, the F-15 Streak Eagle that set the Time to Altitude records was modified to be lighter. No external fuel tanks, light weight landing gear, no paint, and weapon systems removal gave it a much higher thrust to weight ratio. However, even with everything added on, it still has a better than 1:1 ratio. 50,000 pounds of thrust to a take-off weight of around 48,000 pounds, loaded. Meaning a fully loaded (for air superiority role) F-15 can still bring a whole lot of hurt to the airspace it is defending very quickly.

    The footage used was made for a documentary, the actual F-15 coming in was indeed a little catawumpus... but losing a wing is only losing a little more than a third of the lifting surface, not half. The fuselage was designed wide enough that it also contributes quite a lot to total lift.
    It also had to land at ludicrous speed, over 250 knots, so really rugged landing gear and rolling stock helped too!

    Maximum speed used to be a higher design priority than it is now. Eventually they realized that for practical reasons, such high speeds just weren't needed. It used too much fuel too quickly to be practical. So now the focus is toward supercruise: The ability to fly supersonic without fuel hungry afterburner. Both the F14 and F15 are actually quite a bit faster than their replacements if top speed is your measure.

      @@atoriusv5070 Not at all. Any engine change will usually include increased efficiency, otherwise why bother? Top speed will be full afterburner where efficiency is out the window entirely. Supercruise, mach 1.5 plus WITHOUT afterburner is where the focus lies today. AKA being able to efficiently cruise at a speed 50% higher. Long term sustainable speed, instead of short term sprint. Think of it like two cars, both which get 30 miles per gallon. One of them can do it at 55mph, while the other can do it at 100mph. That's just more valuable than top speed, where both will run out of fuel entirely in about 20 minutes.

    The US built a Mach2 bomber, the Soviets responded by building the Mach 2.2 Foxbat MIG interceptor, so the Americans build the Mach2.5 F15 in response to it. The US cancelled the Valkeyrie project and the Foxbat whilst fast proved to be a bit trash when a Soviet defector used its speed to dash to Japan and ask for asylum. Before the Eagle they had the F-4 Phantom, Americas proof to the world that even a brick will fly if you put a big enough engine on it.

    To answer your question, it flew like a rocket, the fighter was literally only flying because the thrust of the aircraft was so strong it kept it steady. The pilot had to land going at the speed of a rocket I forgot the actual speed it was going) because if he reduced the speed of the jet, it would start shaking violently as it didn’t have the capacity to maintain the lift due to the missing wing. He used ALL but 20 feet of the runway if I remember right when he landed.

    • @txflydude

      The F-15 had massive wing area which made it very maneuverable. That massive wing area also allowed normal landing speeds for a fighter aircraft. It did not need long runways but when landing, procedures had pilots leave the nose in air for as long as possible to bleed off speed instead of bringing the nose down and using brakes. That's why they used alot of runway. Did they need to? No.

  • @twylanaythias
    @twylanaythias 4 дня назад

    I've done a fair bit of research on that incident with the F-15 which lost a wing mid-flight:
    A ) While the F-15 does have sufficient thrust to climb straight vertical (like a rocket), a significant factor in that incident was that the F-15 has a wide and fairly flat lower fuselage - simply keeping the nose slightly elevated, the fuselage itself can provide more than enough lift to keep the plane aloft at typical flight speeds.
    B ) This incident happened during a training exercise which pitted two F-15D Eagles against four A-4N Skyhawks. As one of the A-4s was locking onto the other F-15, that pilot didn't see the other F-15 directly above him. The two planes collided mid-air - the A-4 fireballed immediately (though that pilot managed to eject and survived with minor injuries). It was the combination of impact and explosion which destroyed the F-15's wing.
    C ) The chief control difficulty was because a plane's wings generate considerable drag all on their own. Missing the right wing but still having the left wing, the F-15 initially went into a flat spin due to the absence of drag from the missing wing. The pilot, Zivi Nedivi, throttled the left engine and cut the right engine to counteract the spin and recover control of the F-15. (Due to fuel spray, the pilot and copilot, Yehoar Gal, were both unaware they had lost the right wing until after they landed.)
    D ) The loss of the wing significantly increased the F-15's stall speed - how fast the plane needed to fly in order to maintain lift. When they touched down on the runway, they were traveling nearly double the F-15's normal landing speed. As it was a former Navy plane, they lower the tailhook and snagged the arresting cable on the runway; but due to their speed, the tailhook snapped off.
    E ) The damaged F-15 was given a new wing and returned to service shortly afterward. Two years later, this very same Israeli F-15 downed a Syrian Mig-23 in combat.
    None of these details should lessen the fact that an F-15 Eagle survived a mid-air collision with an A-4 (and the A-4's explosion) - losing an entire wing in the process - then proceeded to fly ten miles back to base and landed safely. It is unlikely that any other similar aircraft could have survived such a mid-air collision, and even more unlikely that one could have remained flying after losing a wing.

    F15 is faster than f22 because modern jets are not built anymore for top speed.

    If you want a good metric of just how scary the F-15 is, look at the first major battle it was in. In 1982 Israel fought a massive air battle against Syria and USSR SAM sites. It was 95 IAF jets, more than half were F-15s, against 100 SAF MiGs and 30 USSR SAM sites--the Syrians lost 86 jets and the USSR lost 29 SAM sites, while the IDF lost no jets, and only two F-25s were damaged (but flew back to base). It was called Operation Mole Cricket 19 and it was also the first deployment of weaponized drones and EW aircraft (Dark Docs actually did a very good video on this battle).
    The F-15 is faster than the F-22 because the F-22 doesn't need to rely on speed to survive. True stealth jets are slower than non-stealth jets, as extremely high speeds generate heat, which degrades stealth coatings and creates a large thermal signature that decreases their stealth capabilities. Basically, the F-15 is super-fast and hits HARD, while the F-22 kills things without them ever knowing that they were there. Both are effective strategies, but they rely on different technological developments. One of the reasons why Russian "stealth" jets are so awful is that they try to get both sides of that exchange, and end up with a system that provides neither.

MIT engineers and others put a big curtain around it and too it apart and analyzed it totally. It still uses vacuum tubes in the radio.

It's the same exact principle that got the Saturn V rockets off the launch pad during the Apollo era, and the same exact principle that gets all rockets off the launch pad. It's why it remains the fastest fighter jet of all time and why it can go supersonic while going vertical from takeoff.

    I have flown in the F-15 a half dozen times and I'm here to tell you that on the runway with full afterburner, then break release, is AWESOME! If you've ever been in a muscle car or any powerful car that an idiot driver has mashed the pedal to the floor, you've experienced that kind of acceleration. However, with the F-15 the acceleration doesn't stop or even let up. It continues until at the end of 2 miles (the end of the runway) you are going 400mph and still accelerating big time. The jet then pulls straight up and continues to accelerate like a muscle car.
    If you know anything about WWII bombers then you know that a 4-engine B-24 bomber, fully loaded to the max with fuel and bombs, weighs about 60,000 pounds. That's the weight of an F-15. It's as big as a small house.

In 1960, Ivan Sutherland MIT's Lincoln Laboratory created SKETCHPAD, which demonstrated the basic principles and feasibility of computer technical drawing. The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Seems they did had CAD.

    In case it’s not been said… the stealth coating on the F-22 and F-35 will melt if pushed beyond their “top speed”. They can go faster than that number, but the stealth is reduced dramatically, and it is almost always going to be of greater benefit than just straight up speed. What they can do if pushed beyond the speed limits placed on them by the coating is know, just not by the public. The F-15 is still a better plane though, regardless of that coating melting issue. It’s known as the bomb truck as it can carry that much ordinance. The F-22 can’t carry bombs if I remember right. The F-35 can, but only on external pylons, thus suddenly increasing its radar signature.

      You also make some aerodynamic tradeoffs for the reduced radar signature. The F-15 was built solely with what would make this thing agile and fast in mind with no considerations for stealth. Like those two big vertical tail rudders. They are very efficient and getting that plane going in the direction you want it too but they reflect radar like a beast or if you look closely you will see that the air intakes are not flush against the body, they are sticking out from it just a little bit to lessen the "skinning" effect on air entering the engines and increasing drag. This gap is also a place that likes to reflect radar and so the F 22 and F 35 have to work without that offset. With as good as the F 22 is, it is an invisible sniper that kills you before you know you are in a fight. The F 15 goes to your house, kicks down your front door, and yells "What's up bitches!" before beating you to a pulp.

    The top speed of the f-15 is slightly higher than the f-22 but the f-22 is more efficient at high speed fuel wise which allows it to super cruise. That means it can go faster than Mach 1 without the use of afterburners so it can get to the fighter faster without wasting a ton of fuel in the process.

      With Stealth, you need your jet not to be constantly blasting out superheated gases that can be picked up by the enemy so having slower jets wasdeliberate. Plus, the actual combat experiences of the F15 showed you really could not use that top speed effectively in a dogfight so no need for it. Not to mention that the F22 requires extensive maintenance after every flight and parts of the Stealth coating falls off and needs replacement. With higher speeds, more would fall off and would require more maintenance at a higher cost.
