F22 weapons bay demo, backflip, flat spin

Awesome backflip and spin at around 1:40. F22 at Charleston Air Expo 2008, Thrust Vectoring, backflip, horizontal rotation, weapons bay open, post-stall. Yea yea we know the SU-37 does tighter vectoring...in public. USAF will not show the public everything we can do. Both are simply amazing warplanes, period.

Two components of a moment of inertia are force (thrust) and distance from the fulcrum. The F22 has closer engines (distance from fulcrum) but much greater thrust. Mig 29s generally dont have thrust vectoring, if one does, it weighs more than one without it, ceteris paribus, you can guarantee it. A Mig 29 with 3D vectoring might weigh less than an F22 with 2D but that is anectodal and unrelated. Compare a Mig 29 with 3D to a Mig 29 with 2D and the 2D will be lighter, guaranteed, every time.

compared to the eurofighter demos, this thing looks really heavy and sluggish ...

[StaKind85]

@aseglkj I thought that was what was so impressive, because it was so obviously aerodynamically departed, yet still clearly under complete control. Just my opinion, though.  Both are amazing planes.

You suck at taking video

[StaKind85]

@P90wn3r Agreed. I already said that. I was trying to watch the plane, not the screen on my phone or point and click camera (cant remember).

@P90wn3r i dont give a fuck who u were talking to the only bitch i see bitching is u BITCH stfu and enjoy the video. you suck at life

[P90wn3r]

@soulcalibur22 fuck you bitch, I wasn't talking to you.

@P90wn3r fuck you u suck at commenting

@StaKind85 i think you did a good job with the vid. its not easy to keep a fighter jet on your cameras screen.

@StaKind85 What is wrong? F14 F15 engines are a lot further apart so yaw control with engine thrust is far easier. Can do it on any multi engined transport also. Lighter weight than 3D thrust vectoring? Mig 29 with thrust vectoring is hugely lighter than the F22 so I am not sure what you mean. by the way, I have more than 12000 in high performance aircraft...........

[StaKind85]

@Allanvh5150 Wrong. Its called split thrust maneuvering. Port engine to idle, starboard engine to mil-power (or AB if you wanna get wreckless) initiates yaw to the left. Same result, but more efficiently, more reliably, less expensively, and with lighter weight, etc. etc. etc. than "3D" thrust vectoring. Good F14 Tomcats could do it well. Bad ones got in trouble with it. To see the effects of split thrust vectoring improperly applied, look up Kara Hultgreen.
