F-22 Supermanouverability

Back


Montage of clips of the F-22 airshow demo including cobras, backflips, super-high-alpha flight, the Raptor hovering with its nose pointed straight up, some super-fast pitch-ups, and some "vapor" (sonic shock condensation cones and wingtip vortex contrails) at the very end. Sweet, sweet stuff.

As we know, the F-22 is pretty much invisible in the battlefield (in simulated wargames, F-22 pilots always kill everyone else before being detected), has the fastest cruise speed of any airplane currently flying (MACH 1.5-1.75 depending on whom you ask), is powerful enough to break the sound barrier while flying straight up in a vertical climb while fully loaded, and is extremely advanced in how it manages, shares, and integrates information and presents it to the pilot. This weekend, the USAF has allowed one more thing about the F-22 to be shown to the public: its maneuvering capabilities. This video is a montage of clips from the F-22's first full tactical airshow demo (performed in Langley this weekend by Major Paul Moga) plus a few other F-22 clips from YouTube. I don't think I need to tell you that no American fighter has ever enabled a pilot to do these kinds of aerobatics:

i love it how people compare an f22 to russians SU and say the SU is better... when in reality all the SU is, is a slightly modified f15 (that the US probably sold to them, like we do with most of our decommission/outdated jets)

'scrappyrusski' ...
I hear that anti-F22 commentary from Russian kids has finally convinced USAF & Pentagon that "its F22 cRaptor". USAF pilots will now be required to complete a 'crash course' in flying MIGs & SUs. Lol

Very impressive, and thats just a sample of what the Air Force will allow us to see. There are alot of top secret things about this aircraft's capabilities that are not known to the Public.

i have not seen any "supermaneuverability" in this vid.
..this is another proof that it is no match to su-35
and in close air combat pilot of raptor can do only one thing:Eject!

ive seen it do it ive also seen it yaw 180 degreeze stop and rotate the opposite way wile fallen under complete control, su-37 doesent exist anymore so stop refering to it, and it was nothing more then a test platform ive never seen it carry or fire a weapon while multiple f-22s have under went multiple weapons test therefore its and actually operational fighter, the 37 isnt
