Hey Quokka57, have you ever seen the Bristol 188 or the Avro 730? Now we know where the Yanks got the idea for the SR-71 Blackbird! Even the Eurofighter Typhoon is dancing rings around anything that flies. Hopefully Australia will buy them.
Quokka57 - Thanks! In the 80's, the F6 Lightning could still beat the F15 Eagle from a standing start up to 30,000ft. In 1984, during a major NATO exercise, Flt Lt Mike Hale intercepted an American U-2 at 88,000ft in his Lightning F3. He also articipated in time-to-height and acceleration trials against F-104 Starfighters from Aalborg. He reports that the Lightnings won all races easily with the exception of the low level supersonic acceleration, which was a "dead heat".
The English Electric (BAC) Lightning was the first aircraft ever to achieve "supercruise" and 40 years before the F-22. The Lightning was and still is a simply fantastic aircraft. It is a crime that the few remaining UK privately owned planes are not allowed to fly there. Thank God for Thunder City in Cape Town, SA, that keep four of these incredible planes airworthy.
Hear hear BGIBB. Many incredible aircraft that where light-years (no pun intended) ahead of their time don't seem to feature in this vid. That's fair enough to the author - it's what he sees as his 'cold war speed demons'. Others have a different view. I guess what irks me is that so many true 'cold war' demon aircraft have been left out. I guess it all comes down to ones definition of 'cold war'. To me, that means to 60's thru 90's aircraft that scared shit out of their opposition...
@bgibb101 Agree entirely. The Lightening is awesome, a real powerhouse of a machine. The ONLY Nato jet to successfully catch Concorde in a tail chase interception competition, even the F-15 failed to catch it -says something I think. Like the Vulcan, the Lightening was a tremendous feat of British engineering, pity we have to work with the Europeans these days-design by commitee etc.
F-102 was not designed for escort (it was a point intercepor). There was an antagonism between airforce and navy that time to prove whose fighters can ``intercept`` a B-52 without staling at that altitude
I think only NASA uses the SR-71 at least that wasn't decomissioned. The demand for better and faster during the cold war era brought about some innovative bitching planes.
@DevanC105 The B-1B wasn't a mach 2 jet, but the B-1A was. Before Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara canceled it in favor of ICMBs and SLBMs as the primary nuclear delivery system, there were a few B-1As that were built in the late 60s to early 70s. Its top speed was a little over mach 2 in cruising altitude flight.
You've got to be kidding me. A plane that can do Mach 2.5 "isn't up there"???. The very aircraft that sent shivers through the Eastern Bloc when it was based in England because they knew there was nothing they could do to see it, catch it, or stop it? No other plane ever built, Russian, American, or other could do what it could. And still can't. There's only a few planes even today that go close to the speed, agility and armament specs of the 'pig'. Leaving this plane out is an understatement.
the F-22 can go mach 1.8 without afterburner no other fighter can do that plus the f-22 can hit over mach 3 but the YF-23 was even faster but was not as maintaner friendly.
I'm not lying. F-15 mach 2.6 w/24,450POT each engine and needs afterburner to go mach but the f-22 can go mach 1.8 w/o afterburner and it has 35,000 POT each engine and it is very stream line with very little drag. u put that together the F-22 can go over mach 3. the real speed has never been unclassified just mach 2 class but if u put that all together it can go over mach 3 now do u see what i'm getting at
the top speed of the f-22 is classified they say its mach 2 but if u put that thrust together and look at the f-15 and its thrust the f-22 can go fast (but it won't go that fast because afterburner's waist full they might as well just go mach 1.8 without afterburners
Are you sure? YF-23 was modular electronic system while F-22 is integral system. Any upgrade on F-22 is much harder to be done. LM wanted to build best possible jet and they create it with integral hardware system(everything is tuned to create perfect mechanism) but there is disadvantage too.When you need to change one part you need to heavily modify whole electronic system.
P.S.3M speed would destroy RAM and then F-22 would lose its stealth.
yes it can hit mach 3. any way the only thing better about the yf-23 was that it was a little bit faster then teh f-22. but the f-22 could turn and do alot of stuff better
Maybe you heard one f-22 lost its intake RAM during takeoff procedure.They changed type of glue they used but still something is telling me that glue isnt capable to stick RAM during speeds higher then 2.5M .
If F-22 can achieve 3M speed it would lose its stealth. Also it would need to use afterburner which would be detectable by modern IRST on nice distances (45km).

Yea... you know it... and it was in service with the RAF in 1957, not 1960.
