The head of the F-22 is one of my favorite parts of the plane. To the point where I want to put it on other fighters too. Imagine an SU-35 with an F-22 head lol.
@@the_socompsp I think the legend started with the Blackbird. Seeing that thing take off on full afterburners in 1962 would make anyone believe in aliens.
The pilot sits so high and prominently within the plane. That must be one of the craziest feelings in the world knowing you have personal control of something so advanced and powerful.
Honestly he is sitting In the most dominant plane in the us air force it must be an incredible feeling knowing that even if somebody gets the drop on him they will most likely not even touch him.
Well when I was in the Air Force, sometimes at night we would have to tow an aircraft so you get in turn on the batteries so the anti-collision lights would come on, and all the lights on the instrument panel would be would be lit up also, close the cockpit and look outside it was really a surreal experience and I was just being towed, so I can imagine what it would be like to actually be flying one of these
It's so fascinating seeing something that is _the best_ at what it does. "This shooty plane shoots other planes better than any other plane created by man." So cool.
Correct title should be, "This Is the First Five Seconds of a What a F-22's Auxillary Power Unit Starting Up Sounds Like." We never made it to engine start.
Except you're all wrong. That, while ///technically/// an APU, provides no hydraulic power, or electrical power, it provides only compressed bleed air shot through a small turbine which spools the larger turbines to start. The primary difference is that independent operation of the system is not possible, whereas in an APU it is (you can run APU without starting engines). For more information, look up Jet Fuel Starter or JFS, OR in the case of the F22 it is called an Auxiliary Power Generation System. Here is a link with info: www.quora.com/How-do-you-start-the-engine-on-an-F-16-Fighting-Falcon I aim to educate not insult, please don't take this the wrong way.
but it met the performance specs at least....had a big enough wing. But it was hideous. personally i think the previous comp f-22/yf-23 chose the wrong plane. the -23 was stealthier and had more range and speed. And a better name Black widow II or Greyghost.
00Billy F-22 was originally supposed to be called the lightning 2, the raptor name comes from the air force. chances are either one would have been called the raptor based on that. Though isle you ask me, they should have officially re designated the A-10 already and called the F-35 the thunderbolt 2 and the F-22 the lightning 2.
I got to see/hear a full-power engine test at Lockheed-Martin near Atlanta about 15 years ago. It was quite by coincidence (we just happened to be at the right place at the right time). We were crossing the ramp in a maintenance truck when we were stopped by security. Didn't know why at first, but about 200 yards away was a row of F/A-22's parked under concrete shelters. After a few minutes I heard a low rumbling noise that got louder and louder until I could feel it in my bones. It was awesome. I had seen them many times both on the ground and in the air, but never this close and never at full power. My maintenance buddy who was driving the truck, and who was also my escort, said "I'm glad they're on our side!" Yup!
Well, He made that comment nearly a year ago...and Intel fans much like their favorite company, can not be expected to exercise good long term judgement(probably can say the opposite for AMD).
people just talk shit on amd because they want to belong to the "cool guys" group. if you start spewing shit on intel or nvidia, you better not tell where you live.
+Wonderful Aircraft I don't think the F-22 has an APU I think it has a jet fuel starter or JFS much like the F-16 has. However it may have one as a backup for electrical systems that it can fire up while in flight if it has a generator or battery failure.
+Aaron Erickson It has a APU, it has been specified by globalsecurity.org as well as airvectors.net. There is probably more sources but those are just the most reliable in my opinion.
kato it’s kinda, it’s classified the way there you aren’t allowed to see exactly how it looks but you are kinda allowed to see some form of blueprints there it shows a button there and button there and a 3 screens. Edit: correcting myself: the cockpit of a F-22 isn’t classified but the information displayed on the screens,ect is classified and what every small/big thing dose, so the order the pilots turn on shit and where he need to push to turn that thing on is classified.
My computer can play on high settings but it sounds like a jet about to take off. Today it seemed louder then normal so I opened the app that shows the temps. I forgot for a second I changed it to from C to F.
I like how they showed it going through the runway past the F-15, Eurofighter?, and the F-16 like a prima donna .... like a hot chick walking the club..... awesome..
@@kekelaward everyone who works on the flightline is just tired of the noise. I hate 22s and 35s because of how loud they are. Like can I not be deaf thanks
@@n9nedots Yeah I watched a couple of F-35s take off from several hundred feet away, and I still couldnt hear the guy 2 feet next to me shouting over their engines. Its insane how loud they are for such small planes.
Eric Turner Nah, the fighter jet wasn't designed to "kill innocent people". The jet just happen to be flying under a poorly planned mission with questionable intelligence
Eric Turner it is the sound of freedom. it's not murder when they try to kill you first. but in your words, for your sake I hope you never defend yourself and be a victim because you'll be labeled a murderer! isis is such a nice group of gentlemen who knows why anyone would want to blow them the fuck up with freedom machines? why don't you invite them over for a cup of tea you fucking nanny?
I saw the F-22's engine startup sequence at an airshow. It was impressed that it was so simple and fast like turning on a car. It took just 10~15 mins to complete all the check. It was a little shorter or same time of light fighters which prepared for another show.
I was a heavy Crew Chief in the Air Force. Mostly worked C130s (BEST plane ever btw) but I always loved going to Air Shows and getting the chance to BS with the fighter crew chiefs. Always will be an amazing experience.
@@reaperjf There were also F-16's from the South Carolina ANG in the background. And there were also F-15Cs from the California ANG as well. Just because the Raptor is from Tyndell doesn't mean this footage was taken from Tyndell. It's probably Nellis AFB based off of the wide variety of squadrons, since Nellis has a lot of flight schools and training ranges AFAIK.They also do Red Flag there .
There was a report on some SAS soldiers in our local paper, they blured the soldiers face, but also the military German Shepherd that they had as well😂😂
Marty Elkins yeah me too. I crewed 87-197 E model at Luke 550th AMU,I was the flightline engine supervisor until we transitioned from C models to E 's . Sure did love working on them.
@Thane Mac Yes, it's the Honeywell G250 military gas turbine APU: aerospace.honeywell.com/en/learn/products/auxiliary-power-units/military-auxiliary-power-unit
@@HH60gPaveHawk Incorrect. The video shows the APU startup using a gas generator (basically a little rocket engine). Once that little APU engine has started and ready to function (1-2 mins), it uses it's output air to start the main engines on the F22 one at a time which can take another 5-10 mins before they're ready for flight. Neither of the twin main engines in this video were shown being started in this video. Only the APU.
I was in the hangar where the F-22 was made in Marietta, GA back in 2006. Awesome hangar, same hangar where the C-130 is made. I remember seeing the sign above the hangar door - through these doors flies the greatest fighter in the world.
You covered the pilot's face so absurdly that I can see him even with half-face glasses without difficulty, you not only hid him as a person, but simply lit him up. with love from Russia 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
Did you just anti-clickbait us? You gave me what I came for in the first second and I ended up staying because the video was awesome. How do we trend this? bless your heart.
Nope. It's the worst. That's why it's cancelled from production. It's ugly and have many failures. and malfunctions. It's already crashed a few times and killed pilots. Best one is Su-57. Even chinese stealth fighter is better.
@@Rangerman69420 It has never been cancelled. It's in serial production now. you lie. It was always improved to be the best fighter of the world for the next few decades.
@@Rangerman69420 You lie, It has never been cancelled. Russia just creates best fighter in the world for next few decades. For now Su-35 , Su-30, do the job and and can compete to any american 5th generation fighter. Currently Su-57 is in serial production.
There are 195 in the world, each costing $125 million just to build, and production stopped back in 2011. Its first air-to-air kill was a balloon back in February of this year.
Fabrizio i forgot the name of this airbase but its well known for conducting a training programme called "red flag" many countries participate in this training. Countries from europe, asia and north america.
@Braden A It would hurt military budgets for sure. Besides, the raptor is an aging design (even though its still the most powerful fighter) and it will be more realistic for future upgraded variants of the f 35 to replace the raptor just like how the variant models of the 15 and 16 replaced the tomcat.
Nah, that didn't make a noise, which was part of the problem. It's hard to switch to the emergency air supply if you don't know the other one broke. On the other hand, they fixed that, so now it's not a problem.
BigSmartArmed If I remember correctly, and I'm not looking it up because I'm lazy, the OBOGS on-board the aircraft stopped generating oxygen for some reason. This is a bad thing, because the pilot needs oxygen to remain conscious, obviously. The problems were as follows: 1. The OBOGS stopped making oxygen 2. The plane did not tell the pilot he wasn't getting oxygen 3. The pilot did not realize he was suffering from hypoxia and initiate the emergency oxygen supply They remedied these problems by applying a fix to the OBOGS which reportedly has stopped problems with oxygen generation, setting the plane to warn the pilot, and I believe it automatically switches to emergency oxygen if an OBOGS fault is detected. As for pilot training to recognize hypoxia, nothing more can really be done. All pilots are trained to notice, but it's very hard to do so since hypoxia ruins your focus. That was actually a source of contention, since the USAF originally put all the blame for the crash on the pilot, and the widow sued them over it.
MillionFoul That's the thing, to this day there isn't a proof positive source that lists exactly what the issue is. At different points they blamed the g-suit, the valve, carbon contamination etc, but as late as 2015 Super Hornet OBOGS suffered exactly the same issues which were supposedly fixed on the same OBOGS used in F-22. Both Raptor and Super Hornet were supplemented with axillary oxygen bottles that provide only 10 minutes of gas, so unless there is a credible source that clearly states what the problem was and how it was fixed, factually the issue was not resolved to this day and instead was patched by a emergency gas bottle with auto switch censor.
BigSmartArmed The issue was reported exactly as a "bleed air system malfunction after an engine overheat condition was detected, shutting down the Environmental Control System (ECS) and OBOGS." This was not a failure of the OBOGS but a failure of a bleed air component which overheated, causing the OBOGS to shut down. Also, I can confirm that the emergency supply automatically engages now. Can you link something about that Super Hornet? Even if that particular failure was caused by a bleed air issue it does not necessarily reflect poorly on the OBOGS, which itself is a series of components which are similar, but not the same, on most US fighters. Also note that 10 minutes is more than enough time to get down below 15,000 feet and fly back home. System failures will occur, trying to change up a working aircraft to fix an issue which was minimal before it was mostly mitigated is folly. Pilots no longer report suffering symptoms of hypoxia while flying the F-22, which is enough proof for me, considering almost everything on the plane is classified at some level.
I told my friend who’s like my brother, in 2017 the f22 raptor is my favorite jet even though I’ll never fly one, said even if one comes out that’s better, this is and always will be my favorite.
I went to high school there and lived on the back side near NASA by the water! Would love to see it again! I also worked at the officers club at night! During Vietnam Nam war! The Apollo astronauts were trained to land the lunar lander on a big steel structure with cables behind our house! Then I watched them land on the moon! Very cool! Dad was a CMSgt at HQ! We later moved to Alaska! I am 68 now!
Great video. Just read a piece that the Navy has proclaimed the F22 tailhook version ready for deployment on carriers. Awesome news. Love the way the USAF ground crews treat their pilots before a mission. In the navy, there often isn't space or time to do that on a carrier ... it's pretty hurried and quick - but always done safely ... Kudos to all the team members regardless of service who have the chops to be pilots, ground crews and controllers!! :)
Is anyone here in the 433rd at Nellis? I was a weapons troop on F-15's from August of 81 until November of 82. Then I went to Torrejon for 3 years. Damn I miss the Air Force!
What makes that distinctive howl from the F-22 before it takes off? " HELP " :) I live close to an airport that uses them for airshows. I know from the distinctive howl that an F-22 is about to take off.
The F-22 squadron at nearby Langley Air Force Base fly right over my house almost every day. They are the loudest things I've ever heard, including Ted Nugent and Deep Purple concerts.
