I dont really think there is the convetional "dog fight" in the Raptor, ie... with as advanced as the Raptors radar is the hostile would'nt even know the Raptor was there until he saw the missile flying up his exhaust,yet alone get into a manuvering dog fight. Even if the hostile,lets say a Mig-29 Fulcrum did get into close range with the Raptor theres no way it could out manuver it. Especially with as good as our pilots are.

I don't think the Su-35 is considered a 5th generation aircraft.

On the show dogfights they put out a very good situation where the F-22 would get into a dogfight. If a country send a large number of fighters the Raptors will run out of AMRAAMS.Normally they would run but they had to protect B-1R Lancers.

There are no such things as B-1Rs.

The F-22 can carry 4 more external AMRAAMs. Most probably the pylons have a reduced RCS. The F-22 can carry its longest range missiles externally, launch them first and drop the pylons. The AMRAAMs have a very low frontal RCS.

Depends on your point of view. They probably have plans for them if the time comes though.

Actually the F-22 can have 4 external pylons with 2 amrams on each. But chances are they wouldn't carry them if there are still this many fighters in the air.( After all if they sent that many for intersept chances are the have more.

The Raptor is an excellent dogfighter, while the F-22 can likely kill any current active adversary from a long distance this will change in the future with the advent of more fifth generation fighters.

With two fifth generation fighters engaging in combat they will both use electronic warfare and stealth to avoid getting hit by missiles -- thus it is at least possible if not likely the planes will get in the vicinity of dogfight, which is why it is a good thing the F-22 can handle this too.

then you shouldn't have problem to understand that, in body axes, 1D means your thrust is just along the x (longitudinal) axe. by the moment you generate a vertical component, it's already the second one, exception made for tilt angles of 90/180 degrees.

-"dude I am a physicist (doing masters in physics)"

Yes, we're all über experts here on YouTube. ;)

-"consider velocity in two dimensions..."

We're not talking about "velocity" in the purely physical sense, we're talking about the convention of describing a jet's TVC. For the LAST time, everywhere you look online or in documents, the F-22's TVC is referred to as 2D, and the Russian designs such as the MiG-OVT, as 3D.

Whether that makes sense to you or not is irrelevant.
