The New F/A-22
flyinvideo.com Fast (super-cruise*) and stealthy, and integrated avionics are cool, but what’s really impressive is the F low speed stability and maneuverability. In the late 40s and to early 60s aeronautical engineers were going nuts on how to shape intakes to handle both subsonic and super-sonic air flows, without stagnation or compressor stalls. Supersonic in itself was a big challenge because you had to use shock waves to slow the intake air mass to sub-sonic before it hit the compressor blades, or they would stall. The engineers figured it out, but the solution was keeping a lot of air going in the front end to make sure that all hot air kept going out the back end. As you watch this Mach 2 airplane suspend motionless in air and do tail slides, be aware of the truly amazing performance of the engines and intakes. Some used to think the Su-27 / Su-31 “Cobra” maneuver was the epitome of 3 rd to 4 th generation fighter maneuverability. That snap maneuver doesn’t hold a candle to what this two-dimensional vectored-thrust fighter with fat independent horizontal stabs can do at low speed. There must be far more tricks up its sleeve in the high subsonic dogfight speed range. See More at flyinvideo.com

you are a fucking idiot.
The F/A22 has been in testing longer than any other plane on this planet besting anything the USAF has today. Its been tested up against 5F15’s does it need to undergo anything else to please its doubters?.

lol you are so stupid, the plane did not use f117 technology, plus this is no easy target for anything in the world

VERTICLE TAKE OFF FTW!

Haha, he’s going backwards.. that’s what i call performance.. most planes would get compressor stalls in those situstuons..

henry sorry to disipoint u but the F-35b will not be able to take off verticaly thats y its call STOVL it stands for short take off and vertical landing. the x-35b was vertical take off but they decided that they didn’t need it. any ways the F-22 can own the f-35 even the pilots say that (of the f-35) its not the best dog fighter in close combat.

just think about it. if you look how advanced we are now. imagine if we devoloped flight 50 -100 years b4 1903. look where we would be now.
By triplepogi2009, August 7, 2009 @ 1:52 pm
SU-47’s better than SU-30. But, the Raptor can (and WILL) pwn both!
By jattdadanda, August 13, 2009 @ 7:00 pm
I think they flushed the f-22 down the toilet now in congress. sorry to bust ur buble.
By triplepogi2009, August 14, 2009 @ 3:38 am
Actually, production was only lowered.
By triplepogi2009, August 14, 2009 @ 3:39 am
Ah yes, A RUSSIAN!!!!
You know nothing about Raptors bitch!!!
By jattdadanda, August 16, 2009 @ 2:01 am
Ah No, my poor friend!!!!
You know damn well that i’m not a Russian. but you still decided to call me a russian just for the fact that i supported a russian fighter. Pathetis people like you are in millions of # ’s in USA. but i would love to breakea motherfukker’s bone bones like you who r in a dream of being a opressor of someone’s opinion…..who does not agrees to the one’s accusation. but a person like would love to smack u on ur fuking face for being a diss informed stupid motherfuker.
By triplepogi2009, August 16, 2009 @ 2:28 am
Oh, sorry man.
Still, you know nothing, the Raptor’s production was lessened.
NOT cancelled.
