[@Chuck59ish]

The best burner climb I ever saw was with the old CF-101B Voodoo back in 1983 with 416(AW) Sqn of the Canadian Air Force. They did at dusk and did a burner climb to 40,000 feet, winked out, then climbed to 45,000 feet and went into burner again. This was the mission they would use to intercept Soviet bomber of the era. Too bad no one has restored a Voodoo to flying conditions, just the bang from lighting the burners is worth the admission at an air show.

[@Devil3R]

May have been neat to see but the Eagle Blows away the Voodoo in Climb, 16 too for that matter, But the 22 is the king of intercept now...And will be for a while I believe.

[@itsdokko2990]

F-22 be like: _BUENOS DIAS FUCKBOY_

[@anonydun82fgoog35]

Russia currently doesn't have any stealth bombers. The backfire (Tu-22M), however, is a supersonic bomber. That makes it hard to catch, especially when the F-22 is a very short range aircraft. You don't have much time to chase before you're getting low on fuel for the trip home. The F-22 is only 120mph faster than the backfire, so in the time it takes to take off, climb and catch up the bomber has put serious distance between it and your airfield.

[@s4dg]

@@anonydun82fgoog35 CLOSE ENOUGH!!!

@@anonydun82fgoog35 well the fact that it isnt stealth kinda defeats the point of needing to take off right as they're on top of you, radar could probably see it coming from 50km away and have missiles and jets flying towards it long before they arrived on target wouldn't it?

[@tennesseewilliams101]

I was lucky enough to witness this same exact type of test when stationed at Edwards AFB. First they launched a F-16 off the runway. To my uninformed eyes it looked like he took off, gained the necessary airspeed then climbed as fast as he could at about a 60 degree curve. At that time It was very impressive to me how fast this engineering marvel reached that altitude after takeoff. Then an F-22 strolled on the runway, took off, gathered speed for a few seconds then it went damn near 90 degrees vertical in an instant and leveled off at the same altitude as the F16 in what seemed like a quarter of the time. I swear to god it looked like some anime gundam type stuff.

[@Milkmans_Son]

The official time to climb and the actual time to climb are two different things.

[@Prometheus203]

Looking at the stats the F22 is bigger and heavier than the F15 however it has a slightly higher thrust to weight ratio, less wing loading and far less drag. Obviously performance would be relative to load out for either aircraft but I'm fairly certain a stripped down F22 going for the record would easily be able to punch through the F15 times using its 70k pounds of after burning thrust. Either way they probably won't release any information about its actual performance for many years.

[@r08800]

Mark C. The F-22 is over 7 ton heavier. There is nowhere you could strip that amount of weight out and still call it a Raptor.

[@Prometheus203]

Yeah but at full after burner the F22 engines generate 13 tons greater thrust.

[@nwtruckerll]

More. The real thrust is 39-40K per 119. It would eat, fully stock, any time by any F-15. Or any other platform for that matter.

[@davebrunette6394]

I was lucky enough to have been one of the first people to see what the Raptor could do at the 2006 Arctic Thunder Airshow at Elmendorf air base, Anchorage Alaska, on a beautiful clear blue day!

[@williamkillingsworth2619]

Black bird was a dog at low altitude compared to the F-22. For it could not break the sound barrier at low altitude. It’s engines are turbo jets/ramjet (which are more effective at high altitude) and most of the thrust was created by the inlet and bypass doors when it becomes a ramjet. Not saying you didn’t see a blackbird climb fast, it is a fast machine, just not F-22 bad ass. It ain’t pulling g’s like that going vertical. I live near a base that houses F-22’s, F-35’s, F-16’s and F-15’s. NOTHING CLIMBS LIKE THE RAPTORS, every time I see them practice these unrestricted takeoffs, I stop and watch, it’s incredible.

[@archides]

[@johnnydobbs1399]

not as fast as you would think the engines are restricted due to the stealth coating towards the front nose cone it begins to stress and fatigue at mach 2.1 so for that reason the true top speed is classified. I have heard if compromised it can over ride the thrust reduced system but who knows. the f 15 is still a bad ass

[@archides]

Johnny Dobbs Yeah, few years ago I read that the F15 pilots at Red Flag were able to take down the F22s. F15s are no joke

[@superskullmaster]

archides stealth aircraft are inherently slower due to the need to hide the engine compressor face. So without a variable inlet like the f-15 the raptor may be more powerful, but it would not be as fast.

[@doublebubleguy12]

The F-16 also accelerates through its climb, just not as much.

[@Infernouds]

Dave Lloyd the rate of climb for a raptor is 350 m/s, while a f-15 has a rate of 254 m/s. While both are absolutely insane the raptor surpasses the f-15 by quite a bit. It can theoretically reach FL 350 in just over 30 seconds.

[@ZeroSpawn]

You think 40 years has gone by and Jet engine progress has regressed? 0_o

[@srinitaaigaura]

Actually, no one felt it was worth trying to set climb records after that, so no one tried. However, according to fighter pilots, the F-22 on FULL fuel and weapons can go supersonic right off the deck, so it's climb rate is enormous. One pilot actually went vertical while subsonic for the fun of it and said the Raptor was trying to break through the sound barrier and was told by his controller that he had unofficially shattered every climb record in history. It could climb even faster if it went supersonic prior to the climb.
