44000 lbf of thrust in a small Fighter. Bear in mind the Mig 25 Foxbat( 'Blackbird interceptor') 'Only' had 38000 lbf of thrust and was significantly bigger and heavier.
This song takes me back to the carefree days, a younger man enjoying life not so long ago. Awesome video. What a career flying the coolest machines on the planet.
I used to enjoy the odd day off going to the field at the west end of Leuchars and watching these pass 100 feet overhead. All gone to Lossiemouth now sadly. Mind you I can still remember it being Lightenings 100 feet overhead, then phantoms, then tornadoes. Ahh the memories!
I'm lucky enough to live in Scotland and see them doing low level flight through the mountains that you see in this video, it's such a impressively agile aircraft
Dude, if you want relaxing yet powerful fighter planes video search for "Chillout" by a Rafale pilot. Edit: here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UIB2XvZkX8Y.html
its power to weight ratio. You can make all the flames and noise you want with a jet but if the plane weighs far more than the total thrust...performance will be crap. I know a tornado nav who told me about airshows, they would come in and do thier part of the show...and do this vertical climbout which usually ended up in the clouds...just as well as they ran out of 'puff' whereas the Typhoons climb rate is quite insane...wonder how it compares with the old Lightning?
Just love the way the Typhoon turns from the front (using the canards) - at the 2:58 climb-away you can actually see the nose lift up - rather than the tail going down - as he starts to climb.
@Geoff Crummy: So proud to be German and have YOUR and our guys protecting YOUR and our airspace and country :). No, seriously: I´m so happy that German "Typhoon" pilots scramble as well even from most northern Scotland to defend the UK; and that vice versa YOUR brave & fantastic pilot heroes depart regularly from our German air force bases to protect us......... THANK YOU, British folks, really. ---> Who could even imagine "this one" after two World Wars our countries fought against each other........ ?!? 😉🙄😏😥😮😯😖😬😠🥴🤢🤮💀☠
My God that climb rate from take of was just stunning.....and the acceleration at 2:55 is just unbelievable.....wow this is one the finest fighter jets in the world...and thank God it's on of ours....Go the RAF...
Respect to the British!!!And the RAF!!!!My grandmother's where both born in the UK.Iam South African Born!!My Ancestors from the Uk!!!!God Bless the Uk and the British People!!!All my love from South Africa!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have to say that as is the best cockpit video I have ever seen.....well done whoever did it a fine bit of editing, great music wonderful flying and what a great bit of kit the Eurofighter is.
This is an unbelievable video. I've never gone from crying laughing at a pilot having a sandwich while flying a £67M aircraft to complete awe of watching things i could never experience within 8 minutes before. Many thanks for sharing.
Clearly guts of steel. Despite having done plenty of aerobatics in my time and having a good stomach for it, I wouldn’t be eating anything until I’m back on the ground! 🤣
Early 1950s my father was a rear gunner on Avro Lincolns at RAF Hemswell. He used to get issued flying rations - sandwiches, chocolate & a flask of coffee. He would have the coffee and sandwiches and bring the chocolate back for me. Magic! Glad to see flying rations are still alive and well.
Brilliant!!!!!....such a shame there's not the same low flying as there was. Used to see the Tornadoes flying low over in the West coast of Scotland and the Highlands regularly when I was a kid.....it still makes me drop everything to desperately catch a glimpse of these awesome machines when you hear them get close!!!!!.... fantastic.... And a fantastic video!!!!!
@Typhoonp4unclass . . . .thks for uploading this excellent masterpiece, without a doubt . . . . .this should be the next recruitment video for the RAF fast jets pilots needed campaign!!! What a great advertisement!!.
i know that if you work with in the RAF you can get a go in anything is my understanding !! not sure how it works for everyone else, not at all is what i would imagine
Me too, if you aren't one of the very lucky few, or if you aren't named Suzi Perr/James May it is unlikely however. You can go up in a twin seat Hunter for about £3000 however, not quite the same but it is sure to be an experience you'll never forget... I'm already saving :)
I was watching F15s taking off from my local airbase RAF Lakenheath. A visiting Typhoon took off and really showed what a unrestricted takeoff really means. RAF really kicked the USAF’s arse that day.
Oh how i dreamed of being a fighter pilot as a schoolboy. Sadly poor eyesight prevented me from applying. How lucky these pilots are to have such a fantastic job. Just awesome
♫♫ ".. And it feels like me .. on a good day" !! ♫♫ ... Sparkling, fizzing, trance music !! Amazing video !! Oh, so very, very cool .. !! Probably the best video on the web !!
Thank you so much for sharing this . I am jealous in a good way . Can't imagine how much enjoyment you feel . Sad these Typhoon's have to be used in Battle . But am thankful if that time comes . Great flying awesome views TY
Boris D My god, ITR you can only sustain for like 150 to 180º's STR is needed because it's energy performance and if your in a F-15...you can sustain that performance until your out of fuel or G-LOC but yeah, ITR and STR are no more important or less important then each other remember... a F-15 and F-16 and Eurofighter dominate in BFM because they have outstanding instant and sustained turn rates and superior Ps to Flankers and Fulcrums You hear a lot about instant because it's the fastest and tightest turn really, so people will judge on that but trust me even with full afterburners cooking? There is a TON of drag induced into the instant so it is wise to hit instant and go to 180º's because usually after 250 knots? your aircrafts instant turn rate drops like a brick and a stall can occur but usually your radius opens up and rate falls down to which you become a "grape"(which a grape refers to a grape rip for picking-i.e to be shot down by another enemy fighter with better performance at that time) so it's best to use Instant to line up a shot, get out of trouble, turn into a opponent and get into a steep climb quickly evade threats. sustained is truly BFM, albeit it's usually at faster speeds....it is slower and the radius is wider then the Instant but you can sustain it longer and if your thrust to drag ratio is 1:1 like the F-15's is(which even at combat weight it has a thrust to drag ratio of 1:1) pretty much means you can hold this performance until again out of fuel or G-loc so sustained and instant should be equally as important if you know planes and BFM they are both needed...equally a instant turn fighter is good but poor energy management and harder to fly but again it has über good instant turn performance...but has poor sustained and harder to fly(a good example of this is the F-104 the heavy stubby winged fighter) a sustained fighter has better stability and easier to fly and has also better energy and BFM but lacks in the quick turns of a instant which can be deadly in air to air being that a poorer energy and sustained rate of turn fighter albeit better rate and radius then can quickly out turn that fighter and pretty much out dive and roll back gain energy and out turn a sustained fighter(like the MiG-21 which was really good at sustained or at least better then the heavier F-4 albeit it has energy bleeding problems worse then any soviet fighter..even the MiG-17 has better energy which the MiG-21 proved to be good at instant but against other fighters like a F-8 it proved to have energy in the BFM) so ITR and STR must always be considered because a fighter that lack in one but is good in the other can be out matched quickly and has a serious disadvantage and it's "shot time" to make a kill or any time to make a kill is much lower and opportunities to do so are much lower. but a good example of a energy fighter is the F-15A/B/C/D which A: had extremely tight turn radiuses and extremely fast turn rates so it could out turn it;s counter parts which is why some Eagle pilots are so cocky but it matches energy performance of the EM theory to give good thrust to drag and wing design for instant turn advantage as well as a good sustained turn performance. that is why a eagle pilots favorite thing to do is suck a enemy plane into a turn..knowing that no plane other then the Raptor and Eurofighter(for sustained at least) can match his turn rate and sustain it but like a MiG-29 vs F-15C F-15C can out turn a MiG-29 and sustain that performance while the MiG-29 will bleed it's energy and open it's radius tus becoming a grape a good example of this is when a F-15A and F-15B's fought French F-1's F-1's believed to out turn this fighter where surprised to find out they had a lower T/W and T/D ratio's and a couple instances where the Eagle out turned them so quickly....that they didn't even believe it..due to it's size...but like the Su-27...it turn well not as much as a F-15C MSIP II(F-100-220 DEEC) engine but very close too it's massive and it turns well but yeah, I hope you learned something never sacrifice one to over strengthen the other.
Schön ,das dieses schöne Frühstück,beim Tankstopp,danach auch drinn bleibt,denn wer soll das wieder sauber machen.Lol.Schade das MC und co den Luftraum noch nicht erobert haben.
sub zero coolness !! @ 2:56 + is that amazing manoeuvre even possible ?? hah hah I rub my eyes in disbelief !! Mind blowing !! GREAT video !! GREAT music !! Thank you !!
I seen these take off when I worked at RAF Valley. I've never seen someone make such a badass exit. Roars down the runway an f*cks off vertically! In a league of its own 💥
those planes have a crazy power to weight ratio, people go on about how good the phantom was etc etc but these new ones will thrash most others out there. Must be so much fun to get to fly one, but those pilots deserve it...they worked hard to get their wings.
My brother was part of the team who developed and made the latest British euro-fighter's radar system. Sadly he was found dead in his flat 4 weeks ago, What a legacy to leave behind :)
Oh man, how damn cool is this! Can't believe so few views! Soundtrack not particularly my kind of genre but is so fitting! The 2 bits of low level flying, with roads/cars as points of reference are just mind-blowing!! Well done lads. Footage alone is worth a quid donation, let alone backing the cause. Wonder what the sandwich filings were?? I can make nice sarnies - please can I have a ride in one?
