plus I'm not talking about 80k ...I'm saying Mach 3+ at its optimum altitude, which is probably closer to 40k.

Face it all Non-Americans.  The F-22 is the first operational fighter capable of flying at Mach 3+.


Choocha,

Where are you getting your facts?

how do you know that?  there are many secrets with this airplane.  info. has been dribbling out of Tyndal and other AFB's that seem to indicate the opposite.

for example, a test pilot remarked, "because of the altitude and speed capability, the F-22 can drop munitions at vary long distances from target.  Much longer than any platform in the world."

he's refering to jdam's  ...and if you drop'em from 80k at mach 2 or higher, then you can make them reach much further.

also, another test pilot remarked that, "Many people think the thrust vectoring gives the F-22 better manuvering capability and therefore can dogfight better.  However, in fact the thrust vectoring is used to maintain control authority at very high altitudes."




How do I know that it wasnt designed to intercept aircraft at 60K +?  Tell me what aircraft it would be intercepting at that alt?

Your only speculating that the 80k release of a Jdam is possible. Before you get into that do you know the USAF policy on flying above 55k? Do you know why the policy is established? Think U-2...    and another note....what is the rated drop speed for the Jdam?

The vectoring is used to increase the maneuvaribility at high AOA's. As far as Altitude performance of the vector thrust well I dont know and will just take your word for it.



I still agree that the thing sounds cool tho :D

Actually the specs published for the Raptor put it's top speed at mach 1.8

Choocha, you're reaching a bit here bud.

The mach 3+ interceptor role went the way of the DODO a decade or so ago.

Facts are facts.

I read a journal that remarked that "the F-22, with its stealth, speed and high altitude capability- is the only platform consistiently able to defeat 4th generation SAM's."


Look, its no secret that the USAF wants a very high altitude cap. for bombing purposes.  The F-22 will fill that role.



Imagine, radar sig. of a f-117, speed of a sr-71, comming at you at 80k- it will be better that the la-7.

Speed of the SR-71??

Los Angeles To Washington D.C. (World Record): Distance: 2,299.67 statute miles...Time: 1 hr 04 min 19.89 secs.

I doubt the F-22 will break that record.  The top speed of the SR-71 is still classified, by the way.

EDIT:  By the way, on November 20, 1965 an A-12 Blackbird exceeded Mach 3.2 and a sustained altitude of 90,000 feet.  That is the fastest publicly recorded speed of a Blackbird.

Choocha, just out of curiosity, what kind of engineer are you?

Nothing to do with the thread here, but up here we have a debate going on in the engineering world about aircraft maintenance engineers.

Apparently, here, the engineering world is up in arms over the title.  Go figure.

cheers,
