An F-22 Raptor goes to .99 mach in Oshkosh. The pilot cuts back at .99 mach to not break the sound barrier and cause a destructive sonic boom.

  • Their is no way this jet is even coming close to mach 1. For one you can hear engines while he's on approach and during as he passes. When a fighter pilot gets close to mach 1 you have a few second delay in seeing the jet and then hearing the engine, by the time you hear the engine the jet as already passed.

  • @aidler2 a vapor cone- prandt glauert singularity has absolutely nothing to do with breaking the sound barrier, it occurs when there is a sudden drop in air pressure at the nose or rear of the jet, especiall in humid conditions or when the pilot does a sharp turn. this was not close to mach speeds either and if it was .99 mach u would hear it and sound arrive together

  • There is no way of knowing how fast it is going unless they told him at the air show. Which they sometimes do.

  • Mach 2.5 actually and most tech that worked on it say it is more but classified!

  • Thats 400 knots max. But i probably not even that much.

  • ya that's not no 0.99 0.99 you wouldn't even hear him coming.

  • @67mustangblue Transonic speeds to not prevent you from hearing the aircraft prior to its being next to you. Supersonic speeds do that.

  • @mmbbz The Prandtl-Glauert singularity specifically has to do with transonic speeds. It is caused by the extreme atmospheric conditions of the near infinite pressure created by the aircraft approaching the sound barrier. And that was a Prandtl-Glauert singularity towards the end.

  • @MinecraftTvWeekly yeah we know. he didn't say the top speed fool.

  • 56 are commies and their dicks are the size of the 'likes/dislikes' bar.

  • doesnt look like mach 1 at all!!!

  • lol this plane goes upto mach 2
