they burn ridiculous amounts of fuel with vtol

@lb8068 well there is the sea harrier, which operated by RN till '06, they were designed for fleet defense and had radar and AMRAAM capability. They were supposed to be air superiority fighters. but weren't supersonic
-
@seajist They can, but it's a total waste of fuel when you have a runway suitable for short take offs. It's not all about "LOOKING KEWL".

@RyanHedlund99 Typical CoD cunt who thinks the Harrier is a fighter and thinks it's all about speed. You want fucking air superiority, go fly a fucking McDonnel Douglas F-15 Eagle. They're from the same manufacturing company and pertorm vastly different roles. The Harrier is a ground attack aircraft, specialising in CAS missions, and at rare times, Interdiction. Their AIM-9 Sidewinder Short range air to air missiles mounted on the wingtip hardpoints are only for self defence.

@coolsdon Actually, Dr Hans Von Ohain and Frank Whittle both independently developed the jet engine.

@crazynaska Er really?...Try telling that to Frank Whittle,he was knighted for it!!!!!

Germans invented the jet engine.

@RyanHedlund99 The Harrier can go supersonic in a dive. Speed is not the object of the Harrier. It's a close support aircraft designed to operate where there is no runway. In the Falklands war when being chased by an Argentinian Mirage a pure supersonic fighter. The pilot of a Harrier pointed his exhaust nozzles forward the Harrier came to a stop, the Mirage flew by, and was shot down by a missile from the almost stationary Harrier.

Well I'm not a fighter pilot but I have read that the Harrier's top speed is not as fast as most of the other fighter jets. Instead of spending all this time questioning me why don't you just look it up online?
