That commanche is just too cool man!

[Cygnus X-1 12]

The X-36 prob wont ever fly. Stupid budget cuts. NASA has had so much money cut from it that its even having trouble maintaining Earth Watch satelites (weather, ect)

 

Course, the military and private Satelites are still at full tilt....(that includes GPS)

 

EDIT: forgot me plane :wink:

 

 

looks like the Soviet pilots dodging Allied AA (RA) jk

the RETIRED f-14........ still better than the f/a-18 even after retirement the only reason the navy retired it is because it was designed only for the interceptor role

[Cygnus X-1 12]

You still cant beat the Phoenix air-to-air missile, which can still only be carried by the F-14

 

[rEdaSbLood 1]

word...i concurr.........the F-117 has always been my ffav for sum reason

[Cygnus X-1 12]

The only true "non-stealth" stealth plane :wink:

 

I belive 1 or more was shot down over Yugoslavia in the late 90's because it was detected with side facing radar.

 

heres a real stealth plane for you

 

[rEdaSbLood 1]

that the raptor?

[Cygnus X-1 12]

*slaps RABL in the face*

 

jk

 

No, of course its not the raptor, its the YF-23. The other stealth fighter concept that went up against the raptor to see which one was favored by the Air Force, and thus would make the production cut. Sadly, this baby didnt. Although the Raptors that have been deployed so far have preformed much better than they were intended to. 8)

[Alphabear 11]

Yeah the design of that stealth fighter has limitations with its frame that the F-22 doesnt. Most notably the manouverability.

[Inferno 22]

Raptors are cool, they can fly supersonic without using the afterburner 8)

[Cygnus X-1 12]

In all respects, the YF-23 matched the Raptor in everyaspect, with very little exception.

 

I think the Raptor has a slightly larger payload capacity, and it is slightly more manuverable. Or at least, thats how it was designed. As it turns out, the Raptor royally pwns all SU-35's and SU-37's in any manuver, and can pull off some that not even the famed SuHukoi Jets can attempt.

 

EDIT: Need a pic :wink:

 

[rEdaSbLood 1]

which plane is that?

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Gasp!

 

That, my friend, is the SU-37 Terminator.

 

here is an SU-47 Berkut

 

 

granted, that is a false image, because to shoot down the F-22, you need to be able to see it on your radar 8)
