How long can a F22 raptor stay in air?
The F-22 Raptor has a combat radius of approximately 1,839 kilometers (1,140 miles) without refueling, which translates to around 2 to 3 hours of flight time under combat conditions. However, with aerial refueling, the aircraft can remain airborne for much longer, potentially extending its operational time to over 10 hours. Factors such as mission profile, fuel consumption, and payload can affect these durations.
What is the landing speed of the F-15?
The landing speed of the F-15 Eagle typically ranges from 130 to 150 knots, depending on factors such as weight and configuration. This speed allows for safe control during landing while ensuring the aircraft can effectively manage its descent and touchdown. Pilots adjust their approach speed based on conditions and specific aircraft load.
How much hydraulic oil does a F-16 hold?
The F-16 Fighting Falcon typically holds around 22 to 25 gallons of hydraulic fluid, depending on the specific model and configuration. This hydraulic fluid is essential for operating various systems, including the flight controls, landing gear, and brakes. Regular maintenance and checks are crucial to ensure proper hydraulic system function and aircraft safety.
How fast can the F-14 Tomcat travel?
Well, sweetheart, the F-14 Tomcat can fly at a top speed of around Mach 2.34, which is roughly 1,544 miles per hour. That's faster than you can say "Top Gun." So, buckle up and hold on tight if you ever find yourself in one of those bad boys!
What is the ceiling of a P-51?
Well, honey, the ceiling of a P-51 Mustang is around 41,900 feet. That's higher than my hair in the 80s! So, if you're looking to reach for the sky, this old bird can take you pretty darn close.
How fast can an F-22 fighter jet fly in miles per hour?
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet Top speed is 1,190 mph (Mach 1.8).
The calculated speed of 62 m/s is equivalent to approximately 139 miles per hour.
Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, a jet fighter can fire its cannons while flying faster than the speed of sound. The bullets fired from the cannons can also travel faster than the speed of sound, effectively hitting the target even when the jet is flying at supersonic speeds.
How many parts are in a speach?
I once heard an explanation of a speech which went like this.
When asked to explain his technique for getting his message across, the speaker explained it thus:
First of all, I tell them what I am going to tell them.
Next I tell them.
Finally, I tell them what I have just told them!
I guess this indicates that there are three parts to a speech.
1. The introduction. What the purpose of the speech is.
2. The content. The main message to be conveyed
3. The summary. Reminds the audience what the speech was about.
How many fighter aircraft in Pakistan Air Force?
Chinese J-7, US F-16, and French Mirage 5 fighter planes.
How many Spitfires were left after the Battle of Britain?
It's virtually impossible to answer that exactly without a huge amount of research. However in mid -September Spitfires were being delivered at the rate of about 4-5 a day. They were by then being shot down about 1-2 a day. There were 20 operational Spitfire squadrons then each having 12-16 aircraft, so this gives an estimated figure of between 280 - 320 Spitfires at the end of Battle of Britain.
How many ME-109 German Fighter aircraft were built?
30,000 were made by Germany during WW2 from 1930's to 1945. Then other countries built a version of it. Also, The Messerschmidt company was redesignated as the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (Aktiengesellschaft or Corporation) in 1938. Some call it the Me-109, although the official Luftwaffe designation of the aircraft was the Bf 109 throughout the war.
What is the wing span of a RAF Spitfire?
There were many variants of the Spitfire with different wings, fuselages, engines and propellers. Wing spans went from 32 ft for the Mk V up to 40 ft for the high altitude models. The most common wing on many models was 36 ft 10 in.
What is the world's best fighter plane?
This question is highly debated and in any conversation, or forum, it can boil down into a mindless argument that never ends. Most answers for individuals are based on their nationality. This answer will be un-biased.
Top Candidates:
F-22 Raptor- USA: This is usually accepted as the best fighter. This is due to the fact that is the only Stealth Fighter currently in service , Excellent Maneuverability, and its amazing technology. It poses 2D TVC giving it its amazing agility. Its air-to-air combat abilities are unmatched. NOTE: The F-22 Program was recently cancelled by President Barack Obama. 183 of these Generation 5 fighters are still in service in the United States.
F-35 Lightning II - USA: This Aircraft is more of a ground attack, multi-role fighter. It is the best Ground-Attack fighter. It beats the Eurofighter in that category because of its Stealth technology. In this group, it is the only one with V/STOL capabilities, meaning that it can take off vertically.
Eurofighter Typhoon - UK, Germany, Spain, Italy: The Eurofighter has great BVR and WVR capabilities. It has reduced RCS features but lacks true stealth. In this group, it is the 2nd best ground-attacker.
Dassault Rafale - France: This is usually viewed as a cheaper, less capable option to the Eurofighter. Never the less, it is still a highly capable aircraft. It has reduced RCS features and it's 2 seats give it greater awareness in a dogfight and reduces pilot fatigue. It is the aircraft originally designed as a carrier-based aircraft.
Su-35BM - Russia: The 30 year old Su-27 airframe is still going strong with its great maneuverability, durability ,and adaptability. It also has great BVR capability but not on par with western designs like the F-22, Eurofighter, and Rafale. It has the largest RCS in this category making it highly visible to radars.
PAK-FA - Russia: This aircraft (when it comes in service in 2011/12) will be the 2nd best fighter after the F-22. It will incorporate technology from the Su-47 and the MiG-1.42. It will be stealthy. Little information is known about it and is still just a design on a paper. And by then all the other aircraft will have had extensive upgrades. It will definitely be more agile than the F-22 due to its 3-D TVC.
J-13/14 - China: It could challenge the the F-22 and PAK-FA. It will be a stealth aircraft. It might incorporate much features and technology from the PAK-FA including 3-D TVC; however at this time (2011), this is solely a prototype, and is years (probably a full decade) away from production.
Other candidates: Japan have been researching new stealth aircraft. But they are unlikely to go in service. They will probably just buy the F-35 or if the USA lets them, the F-22. UPDATE: Japan is reported to have ordered F-35.
What is the purpose of a fighter aircraft?
A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft, as opposed to bombers and attack aircraft, whose main mission is to attack ground targets. The hallmarks of a fighter are its speed, maneuverability, and small size relative to other combat aircraft.
Many fighters have secondary ground-attack capabilities, and some are designed as dual-purpose fighter-bombers. Often, aircraft that do not fulfill the standard definition are called fighters. This may be for political or national security reasons, for advertising purposes or other reasons.
A fighter's main purpose is to establish air superiority over a battlefield. Since World War I, achieving and maintaining air superiority has been essential for victory in conventional warfare. The success or failure of a belligerent's efforts to gain air supremacy hinges on several factors including the skill of its pilots, the tactical soundness of its doctrine for deploying its fighters and the numbers and performance of those fighters. Because of the importance of air superiority, since the dawn of aerial combat armed forces have constantly competed to develop technologically superior fighters and to deploy these fighters in greater numbers, and fielding a viable fighter fleet consumes a substantial proportion of the defense budgets of modern armed forces.

What was the name of the Japanese fighter plane in World War 2?
The same time period when other nations invented them; WW1 (1914-1918). Even though flight has been experimented with, such as the Wright Brothers in 1903, etc. technology was often shared; Japan was an ally in 1914; and the first US tanks were French Renaults, made in the US under license.
How fast is the F-4 Phantom fighter jet?
The F4 "was" able to fly in excess of 1,500 mph with her after burners on. She had twin engines, during the Vietnam War, nearly all US attack jets were single engined: A-4 Skyhawk, A-7 Corsair II, F-100 Supersabre, F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-104 Starfighter, and the F-105 Thunderchief. But the "F4" (aka double ugly) was a monster of a jet...big, twin engined, and let out a cloud of black smoke when she came in for a landing (dumping fuel), or hit her burners. The F4 was the ONLY jet flown by the Air Force, Marines, and the Navy. Some A-1's (Skyraiders-propeller driven) and A-7 Corsair II's were shared by the Air Force, and possibly some Marine aviation units...but the F4 was King. During a routine attack in Vietnam, a USN Phantom flew straight up into the heavens until it was but a silver dot in the sky (only Air Force F4's were painted in camoflage, USN/USMC Phantoms were left metal color/silver or gray). The F-4 then looped upside down much like a ferris wheel at the county fair, and dove towards the NVA held hilltop, dropping it's HE bombs (High Explosives). Another high altitude loop, then another dive onto the enemy hill, napalm this time; another high altitude loop and he delivered rocket fire into the enemy. The F4 delivered alot of ordnance, and made a lot of passes. Not to slight the single engine jets, as every air attack was ALWAYS loved and appreciated by the men on the ground; but during another routine CAS (Close Air Strike/Support), a USAF F-100 Supersabre made ONE gun run; dropping his HE bombs and firing his nose cannon at NVA troops (very close to US units-200 yards easy).
What font do the f-14 tomcat logo use?
It looks like Highway Gothic for most of the non-stylized markings (like the pilot/rio names, etc). It should be this for the spots where it says like NAVY, etc. Things like the Aircraft Carrier names are usually some other font, so really it just depends on what specific marking on the jet you're looking for.
The question is a little vague, since there isn't a "logo" per se. There are various unit markings, (e.g. Sundowners, Grim Reapers, Tophatters, etc), but they'll have their own thing too.
