is that an f16 in my rear-view?
Published by kfiducia October 24th, 2004 in News, va2.0, Uncategorizedmy dad mentioned something to me about Bush’s speach being interrupted by the roar of an F-16. So i searched google news, it seems almost every place he goes they are scrambling F-16s to chase off civilian aircraft entering the no-fly zone. imagine flying along and all of a sudden you have an F-16 screaming overhead dropping flares on you. Oh man. article here and here
I’d rather have an F2004.
mmmm only plane that can vertically accelerate…mmmm
I would think the F22 could do that too. And the F18.
FA/22 (Raptor)can turn only as fast as the pilot. But they could have made the trip from Panama City in about 3 minutes.
maybe the f22(raptor), but the fa18, ? f16 has held its status becasue of how light it is, and the fact that it is basically all a jet engine. with a pilot strapped to it. donut to whomever finds out.
sorry to inform you the fastest fighter jet is the MIG 25, cabable of Mach 2.8, about 3,000 mph. The fastest jet is the SR-71 Blackbird, speeds in excess of Mach 3. I will have a chocolate frosted.
well, the top speed of the f22 has never been released that i know of, and jsut because the others have a higher top speed doesnt mean they can vertically accelerate. thats tough to do.
the F22 has the same engines as the F16’s the only difference is that they have thrust vectoring - which gives them more maneuverability , not more speed, as you can see by it’s Mach 1.8 capability
I want my donut
the question, and donut have nothign to do with top speed, they have to do with acceleration, the question was wether or not the raptor and hornet could vertically accelerate like the lighter f16
the Harrier can accelerate vertically - now can I have my donut
i have a feeling you have some issues understanding questions.
I can accelerate vertically also - going up stairs - with or without after burner
keep eatin those donuts…
