F-22 Supermanouverability

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:

uhh no, the harrier still lacks the maneuverability of the Raptor, as well as the speed, avionics, and of course climb rate.

I love the F-22. 70,000 LB's of thrust just makes your jaw drop. I saw this bad boy at the Miramar air show. It's such a beautiful beast. It will completely dominate any other fighter in the world, hands down.

I don't see why people are trying to compare the Harrier with the F-22. The only plane thich can match the F-22's maneuverability is the Eurofighter typhoon.

They should use these in the Red Bull Air Race.

So if you ignore stealth, the Harrier would kick the F22 arse? Wow, that must be embarrassing to know yanks...

Anyway this video sucks balls. I all i see is a bunch of stalls, I think I would fall asleep at this air show.

Warpath2198 (October 12, 2008 at 2:09 pm)

Hell the harrier is a piece of shit anyway. No afterburner, average attack air craft. A-10 surpasses it by far.

Warpath2198 (October 12, 2008 at 2:08 pm)

I use to work on jets. My friend worked on harriers and told me the Harriers don't even use the VTOL crap cause its busted half the time. I doubt those shitty old engines put out that much thrust. Nothing is ever what it says on paper in the military.

'thats probably because the Harrier has weak ass engines.'LOL...The Pegasus 11-61/Mk.107 develops around 24,000lbs dry thrust, which is about the same as the PW-F119 engine in the F22.This means the Harrier GR9's Operational TWR (dry) is > 1.25 for the obvious reasoning that it can perform VTOL. The F22 doesn't even have operational take off TWR with full AFTERBURNERS > 1. Even in the F22 displays with no weapons, its TWR doesn't exceed 1.05

For one the weapons on the harrier are not gattling guns and it provides a different role. The harrier is not a dog fighter its an Attack Aircraft; meaning it attacks ground targets.
