I think you are mistaking "flawed" with "debatable".
While the actual top speed may in fact be a matter of some conjecture, there is plenty of reasons why the "reported" top speed would be fairly accurate due to the physics of aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, metallurgy and engine design.
WHERE WAS GOD WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABORTED? He was allowing you to be born and not stepping in so that the rest of us would know what the term "WASTE OF HUMAN FLESH" means.

I am a retired Navy Parachute Rigger and a Civilian military Contractor with 35 years experience....until I heard this I would have not believed ejection at mach was even remotely survivable...he beat the odds of about a gazillion to one
this is why canopy ejection technology should be implemented in modern jet fighters. as the speed of the plane increases, the higher the probability of ejection at high speeds, therefore if the entire cockpit ejects with them it will save their bodies from damage(and in this instance death).
@charliethetricorn naww would take too much time. microseconds could be the difference between life and death when ejecting. The Russians came up with a system a long time ago, a thick metal plate raises from the seat from between the legs it covers the rib cage and face to block the initial blast to the body when just coming out of the aircraft. Im shocked the U.S or other nations did not make something similar?
Technically the only thing stopping you from ejecting like that is the negative air pressure and crushing force caused by the supersonic craft going near vertical. With this said if you were just going mach .99 you would be perfectly fine. But at this speed...you every organ would be in intense pain for a split second before exploding.
@tibchy144 100 thousand feet? I think you're thinking just a little too high mate, but yes it probably would (in theory) because the air would be so thin that even though you were travelling so fast there wouldn't be (or shouldn't be) enough air resistance to cause sireous damege.
@SgtShnackendale Thx for your answer. Maybe i did exaggerate..I'm asking because until 2006 there were commercial flights with Mig-25 available. During cold months of the year, the plane was able to climb to an altitude of 100.000+ feet (20 miles+, 32 km+) in zoom climb (not sustained flight) and reach mach 2.6 at descent.. Mig 25 Ye-155 still holds an absolute jet plane altitude record of 123520 feet from 1977.
@TheBoBepisodes that is most likely stock ejection seat test footage and not from his specific ejection. It is very rare to have a camera set up like that in the cockpit.
From what he says he got vertigo... Now that is hard to recover from and have even claimed airliners.
One 747 were put through breakneck manouvers and lost parts of its tail plus rivets all over and landing gear doors as they tried to recover.
And it is all related to that your instruments say the ground is the opposite way, but your body tells you a different story, it is hard to ignore your body and follow the instruments, even if thats what the training says.
Well on HAWX, it tells what you should do is Nose Up and Throttle Pushed all the way....of course the F-15 can't recover from a stall as good as a an F-22 or whatever but is that necessarily the only way to do recover from a stall? I mean, I'm basing my information on a video game... lol
@omgwtfbbq6666 HAWX isn't a simulation, a spin stall disorients you, and this guy was losing altitude at an alarming rate, he barely had time to react, all he really could do is pull the ejection handle.
@omgwtfbbq6666 For stall recovery you want to regain airspeed (with minimum altitude loss). Normally you'd pitch down and apply full power. The only reason a military jet would not have to pitch down is because of the pure power available form the engines which would just accelerate it forward. However, I'm still wary to think a nose-up attitude would be their published stall recovery procedure. Also the F-15 probably recovers better than an F-22 because it is more stable, relatively speaking.
@SteveWMU You never ever want to apply full power when in a stall . Just put the nose down.. apply minimum throttle and use your rudders in the opposite direction. If you apply full power you will kick the ass of your aircraft from underneath you resulting in a flat spin.
@WinchesterDelta1 depends on the aircraft.. anybody asking this question has clearly never flown or they've just started in which case they will be taught to apply full power as they nose down. In most training single engine prop aircraft this is how you recover from the stall. Correct me if i'm wrong..
@SteveWMU nose up? who's crazy idea was that? it makes no sense at all? can you imagine turning finals, stalling, and then having to nose up as you apply power to recover? that would be so un-natural. not that anybody should be in a siituation were they end up stalling on finals. just an example.
@SteveWMU whaaat Nose UP????... no way. Thats the last thing you want to do in a fighter jet. It is nose DOWN minimum power. Use rudders to correct. And when gaining airspeed again yo can apply more power to the engines. If you apply full power right away you will spin out of control.
@omgwtfbbq6666 Well. A stall occurs when airflow over the wings is disrupted to the point where they can't sustain lift, and usually happens at low speeds (or high speed, high angle of attack.) The correct recovery for a stall is nose down and throttle up, in order to increase airspeed and provide more lift. I would call HAWX more of an arcade jet game than a simulator. Unfortunately good sims are rare nowadays :(

This is so unbelievable that even if I saw it happen it would be hard to accept. I was in a severe rock climbing accident and was crushed by a boulder and on the ground for 45min, and then another 45min without pain meds. My lower leg exploded, and it was a miserable experience. But this guy, he had both legs hamburgered and lay in a life raft for 4 hours--I can't even imagine his pain, and I've been there, right on the edge of death.
@Killamatrix243 Unless they did some brief report, I'm pretty sure it wasn't on the news. I was hurt in a remote location of New Mexico about 1 1/2 years ago, and I don't think any of the news stations knew about it.
@Killamatrix243 My lower right leg was the only affected area. I was given about a 30% chance to keep it, but thanks be to God I am walking on it and rehabing better than the doctors imagined. I still have a ways to go before I can run again, but I am making steady progress.
Not all dead people deserve some respect. They died while doing their job. What about other guys beeing killed in their job? Is dying as a pilot cooler than on other job?
@TheCabal Every dead person deserves some respect except people who die for a bad cause (Terrorist), but after seeing what you typed i don't think anyone is going to respect u when ur dead.
so does this guy still have a flying career. he is standing there in a flight suit. as much damage as he took getting out i'm not sure that the air force would bring him back to flight status.
@drod103164 He did indeed make it back into the cockpit. I found his story in depth at "The Ejection Site." From the main page, select "Aircrew Stories" on the left, then scroll to "Back in the Saddle Again." It's a hell of a story for sure -- plenty of details on the accident and Udell's convalescence.
Also: can't comment on the guy's balls, but he did end up with a couple titanium rods in his knee . . .
@AkAlpinista Yes he did I was a maintainer in the 391st Fighter Squadron at Mountain Home AFB. I launched him out numerous times. Hell of a pilot with balls of steel to get back in that cockpit!
When people are in serious trouble they know where to turn, sometimes humans think they can do without God and some claim they don't believe he exist, but when they need Him He's still there.
bullshit. haha. bull fucking shit. i love how when bad things happen, it's never gods fault, but soon as something good happens, it's because of god. haha fucking stupid.
It seems so, from several sources (I don't quite know the reliability though) there are claims about Russian ejection systems being better. One of the quotes: "In total, more than 12,000 K-36 ejection seats have been produced to date and no less than 97% of the airmen who have used them in an emergency have been able to continue their flying careers-the highest percentage in the aviation world."
There is also a claim: "Because it [K-36 ejection seat] is better then the Martin Baker seat, especialy at high speeds, above mach one. They frequently show that on airshows :P"
@SukhoiSu47 Several years ago, it seems as though I read an article in aviation week about the possibility of the USAF buying the Russian seats for our fighters. I guess there was an ego problem or maybe there was too much modification involved. Either way, it seems that the Russian seats are better.
Sad when we lose a team member. I live on Seymour Johnson AFB and last July we lost a pilot and a WSO (weapon system officer, back seat guy) in Afghanistan in an accident and it's really really difficult to bare. I couldn't sleep for a couple nights because I kept thinkin what his wingman or his crewchief back at Bagram AB were going through knowing that they launched 2 jet's and only one returned.
@MasonPilot06 Was it 'vertigo' or just a combination of factors (mechanical AND human) that caused it? Whatever, listen to the man talk and you can see he doesn't think it was a lot of fun.......
Just to survive an ejection over 400knts, is amazing. the will to survive for his family and see them again. You can tell by his speech he is thankfully to God, for keeping him alive.
Twice in my life, during over 8 years of illness, I was in the emergency room, knowing, I thougt at that time, that I would die. I was in terrbile pain. It is a very empty feeling, like not having done enough in your life.
Very inspirational video. My condolences to the family of WSO Dennis.

so does this guy still have a flying career. he is standing there in a flight suit. as much damage as he took getting out i'm not sure that the air force would bring him back to flight status.

@drod103164 He did indeed make it back into the cockpit. I found his story in depth at "The Ejection Site." From the main page, select "Aircrew Stories" on the left, then scroll to "Back in the Saddle Again." It's a hell of a story for sure -- plenty of details on the accident and Udell's convalescence.
Also: can't comment on the guy's balls, but he did end up with a couple titanium rods in his knee . . .

@AkAlpinista thanks for the info. i just found the website. i will take a look at it.

@AkAlpinista Yes he did I was a maintainer in the 391st Fighter Squadron at Mountain Home AFB. I launched him out numerous times. Hell of a pilot with balls of steel to get back in that cockpit!

You are fucking dumb. It wasnt the ejection seat that went bad. Nothing went bad at all. Its just the fact that they ejected at those speeds

When people are in serious trouble they know where to turn, sometimes humans think they can do without God and some claim they don't believe he exist, but when they need Him He's still there.

I wonder if Russian ejection seats are better at this sort of thing, seeing as pilots of Russian hardware do it quiet often.

@1st503rdSGT
It seems so, from several sources (I don't quite know the reliability though) there are claims about Russian ejection systems being better. One of the quotes: "In total, more than 12,000 K-36 ejection seats have been produced to date and no less than 97% of the airmen who have used them in an emergency have been able to continue their flying careers-the highest percentage in the aviation world."

There is also a claim: "Because it [K-36 ejection seat] is better then the Martin Baker seat, especialy at high speeds, above mach one. They frequently show that on airshows :P"
SukhoiSu47 1 year ago
@SukhoiSu47 Several years ago, it seems as though I read an article in aviation week about the possibility of the USAF buying the Russian seats for our fighters. I guess there was an ego problem or maybe there was too much modification involved. Either way, it seems that the Russian seats are better.

@1st503rdSGT Makes sense, they need them. Their jets are so much worse!

@1st503rdSGT All our seats are made by Martin-Baker in the UK, I think.

Sad when we lose a team member. I live on Seymour Johnson AFB and last July we lost a pilot and a WSO (weapon system officer, back seat guy) in Afghanistan in an accident and it's really really difficult to bare. I couldn't sleep for a couple nights because I kept thinkin what his wingman or his crewchief back at Bagram AB were going through knowing that they launched 2 jet's and only one returned.

So he lost control due to vertigo?
...sounds like complete pilot error...
MasonPilot06 1 year ago
@MasonPilot06 Was it 'vertigo' or just a combination of factors (mechanical AND human) that caused it? Whatever, listen to the man talk and you can see he doesn't think it was a lot of fun.......

Just to survive an ejection over 400knts, is amazing. the will to survive for his family and see them again. You can tell by his speech he is thankfully to God, for keeping him alive.
Sorry for his RIO's family, and their lose.

Twice in my life, during over 8 years of illness, I was in the emergency room, knowing, I thougt at that time, that I would die. I was in terrbile pain. It is a very empty feeling, like not having done enough in your life.
I know how he felt.
But then: Mark 11:24
No fear. Everything else is a lie.
