Check out how fast the F-22 can turn...

[LukeLissen]

They have to be pulling 20+ G's briefly.

---- 0:32-0:40 and 2:00-2:06 specifically ----

No other fighter jet on Earth can match this. It can turn fast enough to defeat any other jet and to evade any anti-aircraft missile except nuclear.





























































LOL @ everybody else

Fukin mirin that technology. Wood fly that/10.
But who was laws of physics?

[P3nguin]

There currently designing a better version of the F-22 that suppose to replace it.

My cousin was a pilot for years, now works on designing them/

[ShoulderDayOne]

Neat

[amikaelmorris]

i mean at that point is it basically aerodynamically stalling but just making enough thrust to power through it on purpose? i don't know chit about planes but i know they arent supposed to turn like that

[CraigMachine]

Flying Jets is without a doubt one of the top 3 most Alpha things to do.

[carlostherock]

aware me on how it squeezes water vapor out of the air?

jeezus christ.... mirin

[Xax]

Most badass job in the world IMO.

I work on F-16's and I'll tell you 20 G's not even once.

[tranceNhouse]

brb passin out when makin a turn, brb jaw in my scull

[Franglais]

Definitely worth the TRILLIONS of dollars it cost to develop.

[mayweathermusic]

That thing is incredible. Would give my left nut to be able to fly one.

[foreverSNAFU]

Pretty sure jets have been handicapped on purpose because the extreme conditions that turning on a quarter requires will kill/knock out human pilots inside.

That's why the future of air-to-air combat and close-air-support are drones.

20 years from now the jet-fighter pilot will be a thing of the third world.

[My_Friend]

The best fighter in the world!

[dkvill23]

lol'd

murica'

fk yea

[Merauder]

wow **** that's fast turning

the middle east will stop being mad at you guys pretty soon now

[pWally]

Anybody that works in avionics knows that F-35's are the future of our air superiority.

F-22's are more advanced but not even close to cost effective. Not to mention the amount of problems it's been having.

One emergency landed on our base and in person it's the most incredible aircraft to look at. Seriously looks like a it's going to transform into Starscream

[habeansha]

this is the most impressive US military video i have ever watched

almost expected the transformers sound

[BENNAYBOY]

Definitely worth the TRILLIONS of dollars it cost to develop.

We need to stop funding chit like welfare so we can afford more cool jets that turn fast. 'Murica

[kissmyasthma]

aware me on how it squeezes water vapor out of the air?

air contains moisture and how much moisture is defined by humidity
when the jet makes those sharp turns at those speeds, the pressure is literally condensing moisture out of the air

[newjerseyrp]

this reminds me of H.A.W.X.
a fun game but chitty missions.
learned how to turn like this np.
usaf im awaiting your call

I work on F-16's and I'll tell you 20 G's not even once.

This... A trained pilot might be able to withstand 10gs for a few seconds...but I don't think anyone is going to pull 20gs and not have some damage somewhere.

[KogKiller]

aware me on how it squeezes water vapor out of the air?

Air is warmer and more humid at lower altitude. At a high angle of attack, the air is compressed under the wing and as it spills out over the wingtips creating the vortices, the pressure is rapidly reduced as in a tornado. The pressure reduction lowers the temperature of the air below the dew point. If there is sufficient moisture in the air, it will create a cloud which is the contrail. You will very often see this type of contrail when a heavy jet makes its initial pull up during take off and also sometimes at air shows during high speed, high g turns and pull ups.

Yeah because the f-35 has been a real model for dod acquisitions programs.

Yeah. I've heard of the oxygen mask problems pilot's have been having.
