[@TexasStormChaser]

@@HH60gPaveHawk Incorrect. The video shows the APU startup using a gas generator (basically a little rocket engine). Once that little APU engine has started and ready to function (1-2 mins), it uses it's output air to start the main engines on the F22 one at a time which can take another 5-10 mins before they're ready for flight. Neither of the twin main engines in this video were shown being started in this video. Only the APU.

[@WonderfulAircraft]

Am I correct in thinking that the initial sound (like when the smoke shoots out) is the apu starting up and not the engines?

[@JordansTragedy]

+Wonderful Aircraft Well of course, you can't start the engines without the apu on first.

[@WonderfulAircraft]

+Jordan J Yes I know that. I just wasn't sure if that particular sound was the apu coming on

+Nphekt It really is. is there any particular reason that it seems more intense then other fighter jets? or is it just me?

[@AEMaDRoX420]

+Wonderful Aircraft I don't think the F-22 has an APU I think it has a jet fuel starter or JFS much like the F-16 has. However it may have one as a backup for electrical systems that it can fire up while in flight if it has a generator or battery failure.

[@JordansTragedy]

+Aaron Erickson It has a APU, it has been specified by globalsecurity.org as well as airvectors.net. There is probably more sources but those are just the most reliable in my opinion.

We were crossing the ramp in a maintenance truck when we were stopped by security. Didn't know why at first, but about 200 yards away was a row of F/A-22's parked under concrete shelters. After a few minutes I heard a low rumbling noise that got louder and louder until I could feel it in my bones. It was awesome. I had seen them many times both on the ground and in the air, but never this close and never at full power. My maintenance buddy who was driving the truck, and who was also my escort, said "I'm glad they're on our side!" Yup!

Hayden Brayton “I want to see F-22, But when I see the jet, Im not gonna be a human being.”

[@Hannsfeld]

I assume 'TY' to be Tyndall, so these guys must be attending 'Red Flag' Fighter School' at Nellis. I used to work at F-15 Eagle AMU up the ramp, which is now 'Flanker', the aggressor squadron. We didn't have F-22's when I was serving. So they stuck the JFS up in the recessed bay. That makes sense. Jet fuel starters have a metal grate for intake and exhaust that would be picked up by radar. We didn't get to see the whole startup sequence here though, just JFS startup. JFS is a small jet engine started by a compressed air bottle which is attached to a gearbox called an AMAD. This gearbox will start each engine one at a time. When our F-15's start up, there a a cool two tone ramp up when the AMAD engages, then the intake air ramp drops down as a choke at idle on the ground. Since the F-22's are stealth, I assume these ramps would be internal. On the F-15, the JFS points down and is between the engines. The fire guard needs to watch his head when kicking chocks on this one. Show us a video of the entire startup sequence.

[@BigSmartArmed]

i wonder what it sounds like when it's trying to smother the life out its pilot

[@MillionFoul]

Nah, that didn't make a noise, which was part of the problem. It's hard to switch to the emergency air supply if you don't know the other one broke. On the other hand, they fixed that, so now it's not a problem.

[@BigSmartArmed]

MillionFoul what was the problem, when and how did they fix it?

[@MillionFoul]

BigSmartArmed If I remember correctly, and I'm not looking it up because I'm lazy, the OBOGS on-board the aircraft stopped generating oxygen for some reason. This is a bad thing, because the pilot needs oxygen to remain conscious, obviously. The problems were as follows: 1. The OBOGS stopped making oxygen 2. The plane did not tell the pilot he wasn't getting oxygen 3. The pilot did not realize he was suffering from hypoxia and initiate the emergency oxygen supply They remedied these problems by applying a fix to the OBOGS which reportedly has stopped problems with oxygen generation, setting the plane to warn the pilot, and I believe it automatically switches to emergency oxygen if an OBOGS fault is detected. As for pilot training to recognize hypoxia, nothing more can really be done. All pilots are trained to notice, but it's very hard to do so since hypoxia ruins your focus. That was actually a source of contention, since the USAF originally put all the blame for the crash on the pilot, and the widow sued them over it.

[@BigSmartArmed]

MillionFoul That's the thing, to this day there isn't a proof positive source that lists exactly what the issue is. At different points they blamed the g-suit, the valve, carbon contamination etc, but as late as 2015 Super Hornet OBOGS suffered exactly the same issues which were supposedly fixed on the same OBOGS used in F-22. Both Raptor and Super Hornet were supplemented with axillary oxygen bottles that provide only 10 minutes of gas, so unless there is a credible source that clearly states what the problem was and how it was fixed, factually the issue was not resolved to this day and instead was patched by a emergency gas bottle with auto switch censor.

[@MillionFoul]

BigSmartArmed The issue was reported exactly as a "bleed air system malfunction after an engine overheat condition was detected, shutting down the Environmental Control System (ECS) and OBOGS." This was not a failure of the OBOGS but a failure of a bleed air component which overheated, causing the OBOGS to shut down. Also, I can confirm that the emergency supply automatically engages now. Can you link something about that Super Hornet? Even if that particular failure was caused by a bleed air issue it does not necessarily reflect poorly on the OBOGS, which itself is a series of components which are similar, but not the same, on most US fighters. Also note that 10 minutes is more than enough time to get down below 15,000 feet and fly back home. System failures will occur, trying to change up a working aircraft to fix an issue which was minimal before it was mostly mitigated is folly. Pilots no longer report suffering symptoms of hypoxia while flying the F-22, which is enough proof for me, considering almost everything on the plane is classified at some level.
