F-22 Raptor Was The High Fliers

The F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team flies the advanced stealth aircraft at air shows around the globe, and its demonstrations include the crowd-pleasing power loop, split and tailslide, as well as high-speed passes and dedication passes—maneuvers that are based on those designed for combat operations but are performed at much lower altitudes that most pilots are certified to fly.

The aerobatic display team has flown the F-22 since 2007, when the Air Force approved the aircraft for demonstration, and this replaced the Air Combat Command's F-15C demonstration team. The team participated in its debut air show at Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) in March 2007, and since that time has performed in more than 250 demonstrations across the world.

The U.S. Air Force F-22 is widely regarded as the most dominant fighter in the world. The F-22 Raptor is especially respected for its dogfighting ability and air-to-air maneuverability attributes which many contend separately it into a superior category compared with any other potential rival.

How Aircraft Carrier Catapult Works?

Image
Video Credit: Out Of Your Mind This video shows you how the function of the catapult in the aircraft carrier.Airplanes are flying because of the lift, generated by the wings and, sometimes, body. When the airflow around the wings is sufficient, the difference in pressure below and above wings becomes lift and the aircraft takes off. That airflow is generated by airplane moving forward on a runway or, in this case, on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier. Some aircraft carriers don’t have catapults. Instead, airplanes accelerate by themselves and use skii jumps to gain some altitude. However, more advanced aircraft carriers are using catapult systems, which are so powerful they can generate enough speed for the aircraft to take off. Of course, airplanes ready to take off have their engines running and powered up. Even though catapult by itself is enough to generate enough speed for take off, to continue flying airplanes need their engines. If they malfunctioned or were not running fo...

The Ultimate 4th Generation Fighter Jet : F-16

Image
Video Credit:  Out Of Your Mind Here are some key facts highlighting the sophistication of the F-16: A Revolutionary Flight           The F-16 made its maiden flight on January 20, 1974. It was the first fighter jet to utilize a fly-by-wire flight control system, which replaced traditional mechanical controls with electronic ones. This revolutionary feature provided the F-16 with enhanced maneuverability and responsiveness, setting new standards in the field of aviation. Global Reach and Influence           Over the years, more than 4,600 F-16s have been manufactured, making it one of the most prolific fighter aircraft programs in history. It has been exported to more than 25 countries, and its versatility has led to its adoption by numerous air forces worldwide. From the United States to countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the F-16 has proven its worth on the global stage. Agile Design for Optimal Performance ...

How Special Is A Blackhawk Helicopter?

Image
Video Credit:  Out Of Your Mind The UH-60 Black Hawk can be described using one word: survivor. Self-sealing, crash-capable fuel tanks were chosen to limit the threat posed by small-arms fire or hard landings. The tail rotor blades incorporated into the new design were made of ballistically resilient materials to minimize the chance of a tail hit, which would compromise control of the rotorcraft. The main rotors saw a similar treatment, and an armored cockpit was added as the helicopter began to take shape. Redundant systems were worked into the designs of the flight controls, hydraulics, and electrical system to increase the craft’s ability to remain airborne after taking fire. In order to support all that weight, the UH-60 leveraged two engines and a four-blade propeller, which offered a cruising speed of over 100 mph and the ability to lift as much as 8,000 pounds with 1,000 pounds slung underneath. The Black Hawk was also  designed  to be broken down and transpo...
