SICK VAPOR

Did the OBOGS problem ever get fixed? I can't seem to find anything fairly recent in the media about it.

The new 3-D-vector-thrust EJ200 for Typhoon offers much more agility.

@ThePatriotMuckraker like the saying goes plane is only good as the pilot

I've recently had my doubts about F-22. But, this video shows well the lethality of the Raptor. Normally, demos of the F-22 have been great, but nothing spectacular. They definitely don't show too much of it's capability at airshows, just useless & boring "cobra maneuvers." On occasion we get a glimpse of the F-22 true capability, incredible. The T-50 has to prove a lot just to match what we already see in the Raptor. The J-20 is mix bag of junk.

This pilot really showed how tight the Raptor can turn,

@em745aa exactly :P

@eclipse245 -"It isn't condensing due to low pressure. Temperature is what determines condensation."

Bingo!

Compressing air heats up. Conversely, dilating air cools down. In the case of these aerial maneuvers, the air over the wings dilates so much that the air cools down to below the air's dew point, allowing condensation to form.

@ENGEEEX -"Low pressure means not as much water can be held in the air, thus. it is condensing due to low pressure. It is kinda squeezing it out of the air."

Wrong.
