This is simply how you say good bye! Watch as the F-22 takes off without any afterburner but then plugs it in just before a really steep climb! The F-22 you see in the video is from Tyndall AFB.
Idk because the g’s he’d be pulling wouldn’t be towards his feet. Humans tolerate g-forces towards our back or stomach quite well, it’s mostly g-forces towards the feet or head that can get scary
@Brian Landers I think it's a bit more visible when standing on its tail. Pointed at you it's basically invisible and even from the side it's hard to see, but the bottom side is going to have a higher RCS.
@@T1Oracle even with a "flat" face of the plane facing you. It's likely that radar would be scattered due to the design of the plane, having many smaller surfaces that point away.
@Brian Landers im pretty sure the F-22 accelerates harder than F-16 and F-15C&E as it has super cruise and 15+years of engine technology over those two jets. However for sure there is not a pilot on earth that can handle the full performance of any of them lol.
When I was attending the FAA academy, one of their favorite ways of getting you to bust a busy training problem was having an underlying approach control call up with a request for a unrestricted climb that usually put them right through some other traffic. In real life, the few times I’ve gotten a call for one there isn’t anyone around for miles. I’ve approved them climbing all the way up to their cruise altitude just to watch how quickly they get up there. Having one move for traffic is fun too, ask them to climb 2000’ to miss another aircraft, and more often than not, they’ll be there in about 2-3 sweeps of the radar, or about 20-30 seconds. For perspective, you usually have to give most commercial aircraft at least a minute and a half or two minutes to make the same altitude change.
I live 1 mile from Savannah/Hilton Head Airport, same airport in video, and was just in my front yard watching 5 f-22s go into a vertical climb. Standing in the grass you can feel the ground vibrating and the sound waves literally rumble your body. Between the sound, vibrations and and knowing that fighter is on my side is an intense feeling that can't be explained.
IT WAS when I posted this at 9:30 this morning. There isn't a squadron permanently stationed in Savannah, but they routinely just appear for 10 days then reappear a month or two later. When they take off, they head straight over the Atlantic and can only be seen from a distance in my front yard. However, when they come back in they pass the airport and bank almost directly above my house to come back in for landing approach. At that point, they're between 1,300' to 1,800' above me which is low. They've been shaking my house since last Sunday......and I'm cool with it!
JK, man...that's so awesome. I'm jealous 😂 I bet it's truly awesome getting to experience that, especially since they're just doing their thing, it's not like an air show. When I was a kid I grew up with just about every active Air Force aircraft flying low over my house except the F-22. It just wasn't around...but I can say the C-5 galaxy is a sight to see in flight flying low...it looks like it just defies physics and just simply shouldn't be able to fly.
I remember taking off from Minot AFB in a B-52H with an immediate clearance to 30,000 feet...took us 30 minutes to get there, so little slower than the F-22...LOL
I remember working as a civilian at FAFB, I think it was mid 1990's, and watching one of the last B-52s take off and it nearly went vertical till it disappeared into the clouds! Very awesome to watch.
Just saw my first F-22 demonstration yesterday. I've watched alot of F-22 videos and none of them really potray the power of that aircraft. Seeing and feeling that aircraft fly over you with afterburners lit is truly an awe inspiring moment. I'll never forget it.
I actually worked at this location and when those things take off you're either terrified or paralyzed by awesomeness. I had one coming in for a landing maybe 200 ft above my head once. Had it on video and all. The airstrip run down the end of the runway. F22 Raptors are the Alpha and Omega.
Pretty impressive. In 1977 I was at the gate on a TWA flight. I looked across the field, the McDonald-Douglas plant was over there. Out came a completely grey aircraft. It was an F-15, the first I had ever seen. The pilot taxied down their runway and put on the brakes. The exhaust plume was huge!. When he let go that plane looked like it had been sling shot. He used very little runway and then went immediately vertical. Yee-haa indeed, I could feel the power in my seat.
That is an unbelievable machine. I actually had the chance to work on the augmentor part of it, which is the part that turns downward for vertical lift.
I am just a casual aircraft observer and enjoyer; but from where I stand and watch, apart from the B-52, this is the greatest aircraft this country has ever produced. Might not be as fast as an F-15, but it sure can dip and dive ...
I had a thrilling experience several years back. It was lunch time and I was working construction on board Cherry Point Air Base in Havelock N.C. Me and a coworker were at the end of the runway down by the river.I was showing him where I had good luck fishing previously. We were about to leave and go back to work when we heard one of the jets taking off,coming straight at us. As it approached right over our heads ,maybe a hundred feet up, it pulled straight up and throttled up. It was exhilarating looking straight up into the twin afterburner as it climbed out of site. A once in a lifetime expierence most likely.
I live just a short distance away from the Lockheed plant where these are made, and it was cool as hell to watch them take their airworthiness flights after rolling off the line.
Can you imagine the G’s that pilot pulled in the transition from gentle climb to vertical? He pulled the nose up as fast as I have ever seen it done. Homeboy has to be in shape to pull that kind of G.
These things are deafening loud in real life when they are ripping around. The deafening part is not an exaggeration, these things can literally make you deaf if you listen to them for a prolonged amount of time without hearing protection. They’re so cool
Absolutely amazing '18 ton of aircraft goes vertical in seconds, just mind blowing what these engineers can think up,in saying that I still think that the SR 71 WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE MACHINE EVER MADE,1960 NO COMPUTERS 'BUILT BY HAND,AND PENCILS AND A SLIDE RULE AND DRAWING BOARD, # A WORK OF ART,
I was at an air show when I was about 14.A fighter jet whipped over the crowd fast enough to break the sound barrier.THAT was awesome to witness. I can't imagine what going that fast would feel like.
At 1700 local, the speakers played "The Star Spangled Banner" at Luke AFB, Litchfield Park, AZ while an F22 made this unrestricted climb! Love the roar of FREEDOM!
Yah I was like that's not some vertical climb that's weaker than a passenger plane. Then the thing goes to about a 75 degree angle and my mouth just drops
Whenever I see a jet do that, i always hear in my head the pilot of the Blue Angels that does the ride alongs, "readyyyy HIT IT!!" then blast off to the sky! Well the passenger is usually smooshed on the floor at this point, but you know what I mean!! LoL. The G's look insane with the FA18's the Blue Angels fly. I cant imagine what it's like in one of these birds with the thrust vectoring and the over all badassness that makes one of these jets!!! Very cool!!
MY critical Opinion as an Aerospace engineer. *First it needs long to acellerate. Dont know if the engines are strong enough. *Then it flies a little bit longer streight ahead to gain speed.... *Then it switches 90° to climb. * You can see the abortion of climb MAYBE through insufficient power demand for further climb. I think this AC can do more. All in all great AC but it isnt a wonder AC
@@RobertManningRMvideos Yeah, this fighter holds the unique distinction of being universally accepted as the endgame of modern (and near future) aircraft. This honor is coming from pilots, engineers, and analysts from all nations and walks of life. Its always strange to see someone obscure criticize the Raptor when the best of the best praise this plane like a saint. Even with its high cost, increasing age, maintenance issues, and flaws, this jet, even rusted, glitching, and stupid expensive, can still outclass anything in modern combat, whether it flies or not. The Raptor is ridiculously far ahead of its time, and to see people attack it, especially from a "professional" background, is suspicious on their own part.
Back in the 70's, I was on a hill a couple of miles south of an airbase. Watched an SR71 take off. It hit perhaps 1000 ft altitude about a half mile past me, the went straight vertical......and dissappeared from sight in maybe 6-7 sec. Utterly jaw dropping. Still haven't seen anything to match it
Nice bullshit story. SR71s are not fighters they cannot go vertical. They have a Glimit of something around 3g (EDIT: only 2G), and way less than .5 to 1 power to weight ratio with full burners. They also have a climb rate about 1/4 to 1/5 of a fighter so no vertical for SR71. You havent seen anything like it because it was in your dreams. Loser.
FXGamer Your comments are a bit aggressive there! Both the Russian and Chinese fifth-generation fighters are indeed knockoffs of the Raptor’s stealth technology. Furthermore, the true capabilities of the Raptor are unknown. The fighter will pull more g’s than any pilot can withstand, and the pilot is the limit with them.
The kind of technology we came up with in only 80 years is unbelievable, almost like someone found secret tech since the Roswell crash and started using it.. computers, blue tooth, significant advances in avionics... !!
Imagine climbing that fast in a commercial airliner. “This is the captain speaking, please remain seated until we reach cruising alt......OK ladies and gentlemen, feel free to roam about the aircraft.” 😂
He's not even using afterburner and is just demonstrating a vertical climb. The F-22 has the highest thrust to weight ratio of any combat ready fighter today.
I have never seen this in any other video. I bet it has more thrust to weight than any other aircraft. In all the other videos it goes for awhile than rolls over the top. This jet could vertically climb to stratosphere I imagine!!! Thanks for the awesome video.
I love the F-15. I got about a little over 1 minute in this video- maybe older generation engines if they have upgraded-don't know. We have to believe the U.S can do better, however. And I believe they have. Don't count us out yet like so many have. 70,000 lb thrust vs. I believe 48,000 for the F-15. True the F-22 weighs in at 80,000 lb. Don't know about the F-15. Imagine 70,000 lb thrust for a rate to climb record in a stripped down F-22, no coating on the surface as the streak eagle, no internal simulated bomb loading or full fuel tanks. Nothing can replace the F-15's survice to our great country! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8_f8MOXh7qw.html
**I do this all the time in my car, whenever I'm driving up a really steep hill. I'll just keep the throttle down, until I reach the zenith of the hill. Then I back off the throttle, as my car 'levels out', now that the road is no longer going upwards. It's basically exactly the same thing as what's happening with the plane in this video!** Lol
There's a Utoob vid of a mig-29 doing a way more radical climb and it will make you sick to your stomach watching....look it up mig/vertical/takeoff search words several vids but it's the one that shows jet lift barely accelerate to full then pull back on joystick 20feet off the ground
A 747 would probably fall apart under those stresses, and even if it is sturdy enough, its not exactly plesant for the passangers who have zero high G training/experience
Do those things not stall? I dont know much abt planes, so correct me if Im wrong, but surely if the angle of attack is to high the plane should stall right?
im no pro either but stall happens when airspeed is too low and control surfaces dont do anything so unless the aircraft can retain its speed at that angle it will eventually stall
No pro either but I believe it's that at high angles of attack, this type of wing creates a vortex above the wing leading back from where the leading edge meets the fuselage, and this is what keeps it in the air as opposed to traditional lift. Sometimes you can see the vortex as water vapor.
I will always be a f-15 fanatic. I know the F-15 is not as stealthy, and I know the raptor is supposed to be able to kill the F-15 at a very long range, before the F-15 even knows what is going on, but the eagle was part of my childhood, and I still think it would have a fighting chance in a close in fight.
Yeah, I was born in '72, and I remember Top Gun very well, I was in 10th grade I think when it came out. The f14 is a close 2nd in my book. The guys who flew the f14 said it did not fly like a large plane at all.
The F4 was described by the pilots that flew it as something like a "supersonic school bus". I think the F4 was probably the most capable fighter of its era, but I also don't think it was nearly as good as the F15. I understand that we all have special places in our hearts and minds for the big dog aircraft of our times, I get it.
