The X-31 could pull maneuvers that no other aircraft could...amazing piece of machinery.

@RocketSingh80 Oh ffs, go look at the wiki page for plasma stealth. CIA funded stuff got there first.

@RocketSingh80 read the comments i posted on my wall, fucking youtube is giving me the goddamn "error try again".

[RocketSingh80]

@hotpocketpoison

So, to set your record straight yet again:

1. Germans had the first functional radar absorbing plane (Horten Ho 229)

2. Petr Ufimtsev, a Russian scientist, was the pioneer in Radar deflection technology.

3. The Keldysh research Center successfully demonstrated a Plasma Stealth System on Su-37 prototype in Dec 2010. DARPA is still years away from its Plasma system demonstration. So, who is ahead in stealth?

[RocketSingh80]

@hotpocketpoison You are wrong about Horten Ho. It was never designed to be stealthy. It was designed for range. Read some books. The unintended byproduct of the carbon-induced resins used in the wooden panels was radar "absorption" and the radar "dispersion" by the wing shape was minimal (and only in specific angles). It was this radar absorbing carbon-induced resins that were experimented with by both Russia and America, but never implemented in any production plane.

1. Even if you now push the envelop to just jets, again X-29 is second to the much earlier demonstrator, the Sukhoi SYB-A, by USSR.

2. I never "Assumed" V/STOL. I clearly mentioned all 3 applications of Thrust Vectoring. So, I don't get your rant.

3. The F/A-18 HARV "program" started in 1987. The first flight came much later. The F-15 MTD was the first American jet to fly, using Thrust Vectoring for maneuverability. Maybe you must stop using Wiki as an accurate source of info.

@RocketSingh80 "invent"(as you called it)stealth technology. the first FUNCTIONING Radar Absorbent Material however was first used on the F-117(neither the russians nor germans were able to make effective RAM before this). purpose shaping is now obsolete so when we say we invented TRUE stealth we are NOT mistaken.

[hotpocketpoison]

@RocketSingh80 maybe i should have spoken more clearly. the X-29 was the first JET to use forward swept wings, the first plane to use >3D< thrust vectoring was the F-18HARV(flew almost 1 year before the Su-35). also i specifically mentioned "for maneuverability" so you would not mistake that for VTOL purposes(which you somehow managed to do). also the first stealthy plane to use purpose shaping to deflect radar waves was Horton Ho 229, russians dissected this design and other german ones to CONT

@hotpocketpoison

Like I said in my first comment to you, I can understand how your patriotism might compel you to blindly assume America is the first at every technological innovation.

America copied technologies all through its history. I am not saying America never innovated. Just saying you blow it way out of proportion. A good example: Most Americans think Stealth is US innovation. In reality, it was developed by a Russian scientist, Petr Ufimtsev in the 1960s.

Read some books, buddy!

1. The first thrust vectored plane (for V/STOL) was the EWR VJ 101, by the Germans

2. The first 2D thrust vectored plane (for maneuverability) was the Me 163 B, by the Germans

3. The first 3D thrust vectored plane (for maneuverability) was the Su-35, by USSR (3 months before the F-15 MTD)

4. The first forward swept wing plane was the Junkers Ju 287, by the Germans

Yep! You have just been owned on youtube for your ignorance in aviation history :) Move along.

[hotpocketpoison]

@RocketSingh80 giving credit where its due??? these aircraft were the first to use thrust vectoring for maneuverability, and after seeing how effective it was the russians copied it, also the X-29 was the first aircraft to have foreword swept wings...ALL the credit goes to the US.
