I went to check this out for everybody
F 35 top speed 1200 miles an hour
F 22 top speed 1500 miles an hour
F 23 top speed 1451 miles an hour
F-15 top speed 1918 miles an hour
Right. Stealth A) Doesn't need as much speed and B) Speed actually counters stealth by generating more heat.
The f-23? Yes I know what it is. My dad was on the leading flaps design team. I’m pretty sure its specs are still classified.
The F15ex is definitely gonna dominate
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.
The fact they made "stealth" attachments for fuel drop tanks for the F-15 is such an amazing thing
"...or any other US plane"
You should add "currently in service".
SR71 beat 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.
@henryvandeventer2457 He specifically said fighter. The SR-71 isn't a fighter.
@@henryvandeventer2457
A12 Oxcart was faster than the SR71 Blackbird.
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.
What's more hilarious is that the Mig-25 was still running on very outdated technology including vacuum tubes for computing, US realized real quick the Mig-25 was a p.o.s.. Which is hilarious as it kinda proves the point of TFE's in that the F15 was a pro gamer move XD. God bless America!
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.
50,000 pounds of thrust I wish
Bitburg Air Base here. 1988-1990
@@pointsur67 shop or flightline?
@@zuzax1656 Flightline. I was in charge of the "Hotpit" refueling facility.
The air to air kill on the hovering helicopter offloading troops, was from my squadron!
As a Marine I've seen some pretty bad ass aircraft. The F4, A6 and the A/V8 Harrier in my day.
My buddy was a mechanic on F15 aircraft at Langley air force base in the late seventies/early eighties. Visited him a few times and those birds screaming overhead are a sight to see.
I used to live fairly close to McChord Air Force base in Washington, and can confirm there is no safer feeling than seeing a couple of F15s doing routine patrols overhead three times a day. Everything about them screams fuck around and find out.
If you want more info on the F-15 that landed minus one wing, there's videos about it. The footage of the plane missing a wing here is doctored, but the videos on the actual event shows what the plane actually looked like after it had landed. It's well worth a watch, and certainly worth a reaction.
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!
All true, but still gangster pilot not to eject. I thought the width was to allow more missiles as increasing the distance between engines can cause real grief if you lose one coming for landing. Was a real issue for first generation Tomcats who were very wide.
The clip of it losing a wing was off air warriors on pbs America
I saw the F-15 sit at the top of the runway and go full throttle and the tires were chirping and he hit the afterburners and let go of the brakes. About halfway down the runway he took off and went vertical and at 500 ft hit the sound barrier. We felt that boom hit and it rattled everything on the base.
Which bass
@@thomaslake2946 Zweibrucken AB
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.
Not to mention the increased heat isnt the best for stealth coatings
There’s an argument for speed with the Tomcat as it would have an urgent need to intercept Backfires as far out as possible from the fleet with its long range Phoenix missiles, less time for Soviets to get a location fix and fire their ASMs at the carrier.
I'd say the fuel part is a little questionable, considering the range of the F-15 and the advancements in engine fuel efficiency. the new F-15EX is supposed to be 30-40% more fuel efficient.
@@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 short answer to your question about the Eagle's speed is yes. Top speed (unclassified): Mach 2.5
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. Top speed is a bit of a nothing burger because air combat virtually never happens at supersonic speeds. Fat Electrician is right though about quick, acceleration does really matter.
Yes, the F-15 top speed is mach 2.5+, the top speed of the F-22 is 2.25
F-111 2.5/ F-4 2.5(rated) 2.25 in non wartime config. But it 's like comparing a dragster to a F-1 car.
"being quick is the ability to be fast in a hurry"
I think I went to high school with the human equivalent of an F-15. Our high school football center was also one of the best sprinters on our our track team-- he was a legit competitor in 100m high school track.
IT WAS TERRIFYING. He weighed 350 pounds.
I know one of those he was our star basketball player. Man was enormous and fast.
built like a brick rocket and gonna hurt you just as bad.
Out of curiosity, how badly would it hurt to get tackled by a guy like that?
@@dragodx8238don't get curious enuf to FAFO.
Sandboxx does really good analysis of Jets. The aircraft genius. Electrician is the funniest lol
Sandbox has drank the entire jug of koolaid and ate every piece of BS propaganda the government and Lockheed Martin has put out.. Lockheed Martin has went to chit and the F-35 that’s filled with bugs and keeps crashing proves it., F-15’s will still be flying missions when the F-22 and F-35’s are in museums and scrap yards..
That single winged F-15 touched down at about 500 k/h. It was not an ideal landing.
It's just like Chubby Electron Guy said, that plane was machined from a solid billet of 'Merica. Who else is going to attempt to, and succeed at beating the laws of physics into submission with sheer combustion horsepower?
"Wings!? LOL, why!?" said Uncle Sam as he took another pull off his half-gallon of Fireball.
Yes sir. Best comment ever.
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.
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.
@@txflydude he's talking about the one missing a wing. the pilot had to land at extremely high speeds to keep the aircraft steady enough to land.
to answer, I believe that speed was just slightly over 300mph.
wasn't nothing in his statement about normal every day, healthy and whole...F-15's.
My father worked for Pratt & Whitney for over 25 years building the engines for not only the F15 but also the stealth bomber. it was awesome knowing my dad worked on them.
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.
1:25 Mark! Hello, Kabir! In "Galactica: 1980" the "Colonial Vipers" flown by "Captain Troy" (Kent McCord" & "Lieutenant Dillon" (Barry Van Dyke) that first approached Planet Earth over the USA were intercepted by this fighter jet airplane that they thought was obsolete until they almost got shotdown! 🙄 😅
"Buck Rogers" (Gil Gerard) of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" fame flew this airplane before he became an astronaut! That's how he got his aerospace combat skills! 😎👍
5:18 Mark! Oh, okay! This time I recognized the added shapes as being sunglasses! 😁😎
3:43 Mark! By the way! The "X-15" didn't develop into the "F-15" as a part of the usual development phases. Because for awhile there was something like "The X Program" if I recall correctly in which every aircraft designed had "X" in the name. 🤔
The F-15EX Eagle II is even more of a powerhouse. More munitions, more thrust (from two General Electric F110-129E Engines) and more 'Merica for the Eagle. Doesn't make cents, it makes dollars. The USA is keeping the F-15 alive
Up to 26 freakin' missiles. Holy S***!!!!
The US needs to keep them alive because they are the most reliable and dependable jets in the fleet… Far less time consuming and expensive to maintain than the F-22 and F-35.., And the F-15 isn’t loaded with bugs like the F-22 and F-35..
I watched one take off like they showed, straight vertical back in the 70s while I was heading to the commissary for groceries. 😅 It was awesome.
When the soviets released specs on their jets they are overstated, when US releases specs on a jet they are understated.
F15 is faster than f22 because modern jets are not built anymore for top speed. Sortie analysis found that jets rarely needed to go much faster than the sound barrier when on actual missions and in order to make the plane go so much faster than the sound barrier like the f15 does, it absolutely tanks the fuel economy and stealth capabilities.
Well, like The Fat Electrician said, the f-15 was before stealth so "if it can't go un-noticed.... fast enough to be untouchable."
More so, the "fighter" doctrine has changed. Dogfighting is out, missiles are more maneuverable and sophisticated especially when combined with the advances in platform avionics/radar tech so line of sight kills are no longer needed. Basically missiles are faster than any fighter.
7:34 Mark! 1.5K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: Fastest fighter jet! There are faster airplanes! 😉
Remember that you can see a supersonic aircraft fly over you before you can hear it as it is flying faster than the speed of sound! In the 1970s it was a very frequent event where we lived! 😮
I'm nine years older than it?! 🤯
You should check out the SR-71 Blackbird. For a general overview look up..... L.A. Speed Story.
The man who created this was a genius, and a legend
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.
Just so you know : the MiG 23 is the Flogger. Russian pilot Bilenko flew his MiG 25 Foxbat to Japan and turned it over to them. 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. The bolts on the wing are not shaved down meaning high speed air resistance has a big effect on the structural integrity. After a few minutes of top speed flight an engine will burn out. It's a piece of junk.
Lost in all the narration was the fact that the total thrust put out by the F-15's twin engines is more that the total weight of the aircraft when fully loaded and at it's maximum weight. 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 was Naval Air Crew for the USN, and we had to lean all the different aircraft that we might see, and the Typhoon is probably my favorite looking air craft of all time. That plane is sexy.
One of the best of tFE's shorter videos.
The reason the F-15 is so fast isn't because it's lighter than other jets. It's because unlike most jets which have just one jet engine, the F-15 has two of them.
Not just two engines but two very very powerful engines.
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.
I've been at the end of the runway when one of them took off and it is an other-worldly experience!
With a wing missing you would turn into the wing side like you had to do to counter act the torque of the prop.
love your reactions. Keep it up and have a great week!
It's something seeing you overseas RUclips channels, thx for admiring our country's fantastic military equipment and personnel 😊
The tech makes the 22 not needing to be as fast, especially in this 5th gen of aircraft - - I can't remember the actual nautical miles it can detect enemy aircraft at but it's frickin' impressive. As a Navy vet, the 15 was my FAVORITE to work on as a mechanic.
If I am not mistaken it is the stealth coating that limits the speed. It gets damaged by the higher heat.
The F 15 strike eagle is one of my most favorite fighter jets . Its tough ,its fast and its proven itself many of times.
FAR better jets than the delicate F-22 and F-35..
@@lanejohnson7656each has there own VERY different jobs that's why. And why then does our awesome F-15 lose to the F-22 every time ??? Not saying one is better that the other but very very different jobs.
@@DarkKatzy013 It wins on paper and on sims.. F-22 currently is restricted to a lower flight ceiling and short range due to problems.. On paper and sims isn’t the real world and doesn’t win wars
The F15-EX Eagle 2 can do about mach 3, but that requires afterburners. Meaning you'll run out of fuel really fast.
You can see these in England as the USAF has a bunch stationed there. They are often the ones that go up to meet the Russians when they approach British airspace. You can tell by the F-15s that have LN on their tail which stands for Lakenheath where they are stationed.
1957
The beginnings of CAD can be traced to the year 1957, when Dr. Patrick J. Hanratty developed PRONTO, the first commercial numerical-control programming system. 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.
My Dad worked for Mc
Donnell Douglas when they were building it. They had really excellent engineers. they ha d Big mainframe computers on the campus in St.Louis. Missouri
Two videos for you to react to. America's most iconic delivery system Grumman LLV and How the south does winter. Thankyou.
I believe that the specialized coatings on stealth fighters is a speed-limiter? I’ve heard that were they as fast as the F-15 they’d lose a huge advantage as the coatings aren’t durable enough to survive such speeds.
The body of the Eagle generates llift on its own. The Eagle that lost it's wing landed at 300 mph.
Absolutely, the F-15 top speed is mach 2.5 , F-22 top speed is around mach 2-2.2
The F-15 Eagle has a combat kill ratio of 104-0 .
American in service fighter jet top speeds.
1. F-15 mach 2.5
2. F-22 mach 2.25
3. F-16 mach 2.05
4. F-18 mach 1.8
5. F-35 mach 1.6
It is crazy this best air to air fighter of all time lol Big D in locker room like a great grandpaw lol
Usaf Kadena 82-86, these are bad azz planes
The F-14 is bad ass, too.
I wish I could invite you here. I live just outside an air force base because the jets are up all the time, sometimes you can catch the C130s going out or coming back, the Osprey, or any one of several helicopters, it's very cool for civilians. I've had my fun in helicopters a long time ago.
Stealth air craft sacrifice a lot of performance for stealth,
We can make things go faster than mach 2.5, but it's expensive. You're using a ton of fuel to do that. The F-4 Phantom could hit Mach 2.23, but in the 20 years of the Vietnam war, it never exceeded Mach 1.4-1.5.
Beyond that, the F-22 and F-35 both have specialized coatings, so the F-22 was hard limited to right around Mach 2.4, and the F-35 was limited to Mach 1.6
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.
@@Snipergoat1 If you look at an F-22, they also are also offset from the body. The big thing with the air inlets as far as I understand is that you can see the turbines for the F-15 directly in, but you can't in the 22. Those rapidly spinning turbine blades are also massive radar reflectors.
They had computers and simulation software when the F15 was designed. They just didn't have desktop computers.
The amount of fuel the F15C carries weighs more than a fully loaded F-16
Computers were being used in the aerospace industry as far back as the 1960's.
Wings create lift since the F-15 has so much thrust it doesn't need the lift to stay up and the pilot just had to adjust engine thrust to stay up. Also the F-35 isn't particularly fast since it's a single engine stealth aircraft.
F-14 Tomcat🤘 is most awesome American fighter of all time..... in my opinion
React to the SR-71 Blackbird
The F15 Eagle is unbeaten in war. It has actually lost a wing and still landed safely in isreal.
And that was an " export " series Eagle. We don't sell our top stuff lol .
YES!!! So glad you're reacting to The Fat Electrician!!
Kabir, you can drive an hour and a half up the road to RAF Lakenheath and take a look for yourself.
F-15 is the fastest combat plane , specially the newest version,
F-15 and F-22 have the SAME TOP SPEED of MACH 2.5. BUT at regular power levels, the F-15 can cruise at just under the sound barrier, at .98 MACH, I belive the number is 694 MPH, while the F-22 can supercruise at Mach 1.2 or about 921 MPH, forgive me if my numbers are wrong, it has been some time since i was a part of that world,
MURICA!!! That’s exactly how it stayed straight
Yes, the F15 is much faster than the stealth F22 and F35 and that is because a plane traveling very fast isn't going to be very stealthy. I am not sure about the F35, but I believe it is the F22 that the stealth coating becomes damaged by increased speed.
F-15ex2 retains all
The maneuverability but adds 30 percent more payload and better electronics than the f-22.
The F-22 cannot match the F-15 in a sprint. That is on purpose a design decision. That extra speed causes a problem with stealth. Infrared bloom due to the heat of the air friction. 1900 mph for the F-15. 2200 mph for the SR-71 Blackbird. SR-71 skin temp is hotter than a pizza oven at 600 F.
There is a historical video of the why it was designed and why. Basically at the time of Vietnam conflict the USA and the USSR had a new great fighter plane that looked like the f15. A Russian pilot stole a foxbat and landed in the USA. Then the USA found out the Russian plane was steel and weigh was three times the F15. I think the video was from Sandboxx or darksky.
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.
Currently the fight better be close and not very high.. The F-22 is currently restricted to a lower flight ceiling and range due to issues..
How did the plane stay straight while flying and landing? Skill. 150% pure piloting skill.
Skill, a bit but a little more thrust in one engine on the wingless side was needed.
@@ghstdnsr Also split elevons, the two horizontal control surfaces in the back aren't ganged together and can help with roll.
top speed of raptor is mach 2.25. but f-15 can only max out for around 20 seconds or so.
with all of the modern systems, planes no longer need to go as fast, so they are not built to be. Back then, you had to be faster than everything else. That's why it is faster than the 22 and 23
The issue with the new jets is they dont work because they are too expensive to run. congress has been talking about it for at least a year. You can look up
Literally landing on a wing and a prayer.
It is NOT lightweight. It's lighter for it's size than an earlier plane like the F-4 would be, but it's a monster truck of a vehicle.
it is, barley
well kabil, in combat the 104 kills to 0 lose says more than the speed. and yes faster than the f 22.
The sonic boom!
With stealth technology today, you don't have to be fast. Back then, you had to be able to complete your mission and haul ass outta there....
FYI the F15 top speed is 1900 mph. F22 is 1500. F35 1100. :)
Yup. You can't be stealthy and go fast.
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.
Just remember that the mach 2.5 'top speed' is just what the USAF is willing to admit. In reality it can probably go faster.
5:44 that Satellite went like 4x faster than Russia's shit hypersonic missle even if it can do what they say but it doesn't
From what I understand the F-15 eagle is faster then the F-22 and the F-35 is simply because both of them are designed to be stealth fighters as such the the faster they go the more heat they’ll generate and the more likely they’ll be picked up on radar which is definitely not ideal. Where as the F-15 wasn’t designed to be stealthy and was instead designed to be as fast and as maneuverable as possible whilst carrying literal tons of firepower.
Raptor Mach 2.2
Eagle Mach 2.5
It's the fastest nato fighter
And the best looking
Second is the tornado
……F-15 is a fighter jet thats says……”AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!”
Stealth coatings do NOT like super sonic speed/ heat. Non of US stealth fighters or bombers are faster than Mach 1.8 F15 is 2.5. The F15EX will basically be a weapons truck for F35s and F22s. The Stealth fighter will detect enemies, and via data link fire the weapons on the F15EX for the kill saving its own amo for deeper penetration into enemy land. And FYI the Euro Typhoon is more expensive than an F35 while not able to last an hour in modern combat against a 5th gen aircraft...............and we working on 6th gen already.
the fastest plane of ALL TIME was built 60 years ago. Yes, the F-15 is faster than the 22 & 35.
Well, not all time. The fastest production fighter aircraft. A few Soviet MiGs were modified and could exceed that speed. And the champ is still the SR-71.
The F-15 could mop the floor with both the F-22 and F-35 in a drag race and be bored doing it.
The F-15 technically is faster then the F-22, but if they were to fly as fast as possible WITHOUT using afterburners, the F-22 is faster.
2 different schools of thought when building planes.
F-15: Air dominance, lots of fire power, fast as heck, built with conventional technology from 1970s to combat Soviet Mig-15 Foxbats.
F-22: Lets make an invisible plane that is the size of a bumblebee on radar and can dominate the sky in every competition. Let's also make it stupid expensive and a law that says we can't export it, no matter how much our allies are willing to pay.
Look at it like this. Even when it comes to cars the 76 through the 79 mustangs are considered the greatest muscles cars ever. The have more horse power less drag, and nearly identical abilities as newer verticals without power steering. Don't know engineer's in the 70s where something different
I'm not sure about that. Engines easily had compression ratio's of 10-1 and even 11-1, until 71 when the emissions mandate came in and all engine compressions went down to 8-1. looking back now, I hated that era. a 427 in 1969 easily produced nearly 200 more horses than a 455 in 1972...and the 80's were the worst of all.
