I’ve seen this aircraft demonstrated live twice at military air shows. It’s unbelievable. Extremely impressive and extremely intimidating. This is a perfected death machine.

Who knows the difference between "climbs vertically" and "takes off vertically"? Not the poster, that's for sure.

[@ralanham76]

Thanks I watched this 🤷‍♂️

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

The vertical take - off would belong to the Harrier Jump Jet. It had medium capability in it`s age in terms of overall agility and speed ( rather slow ) but managed to have a say in the British defense of the Falkland Islands after those Islands were invaded by Argentina in 1982. Where was NATO then ? A Member State of NATO`s territory being invaded by a none - Member State of NATO ? The French were selling Excocet Missiles to the Argentinians whilst the Americans were leasing us ( us Britons ) some ships. Thanks !

[@bobhenry6159]

The f22 is becoming my favorite fighter lately. I have a few rc jets like the a10 and f15 and bae hawk but I've got to add an F22 to my collection.

[@adamkreuz9068]

It's astounding. At a typical flight cost of $60,000 per hour in the air, it'd better be amazing.

It is actually over $85,000 now per flight hour and will likely go even higher in the next couple years.

Do they stay invisible to radar when banking hard or goin vertical?

Yes. They do. The only time their Radar Cross Section increases is when they open the bay doors to launch/drop ordinance, and by that time it's too late.

Seeing as the Typhoon can supercruise, and is older, I’d say that was the first fighter to do so. Furthermore, the Typhoon can reach Mach 1 vertically!
