Quote HistoryQuoted: What kind of Gs is that plane pulling and how is the pilot able to repeatably handle those crazy tight turns? Not so much because it’s moving slow. That plane is violating every rule of aerodynamics. Vectored thrust computer controlled magic. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thank you for the heads up. The first time I ever saw the standard F-22 demo was in a proposal coded in FORTRAN. Do you know what that downward, reverse corkscrew at the 3:00 mark looks like in terms of Mach, AOA, et cetera? Yeah, neither did I. Negative Mach, AOA > 100º? Like, what the fuck is this shit? The pilot even tried explaining it to me, over the phone, in person, and and it was like listening to the merger of Top Gun and Turbo Encabulator. Finally, he was able to get me a PowerPoint presentation they managed to draw up. Apparently, I wasn't the only one confused as fuck about what it was we were trying to do. tl;dr ... https://gutterballs.tv/episode_images/006.jpg Turbo Encabulator and Top Gun... Nobody said that making the hardware that would cause experienced US military pilots to say. "Like fighting alien spaceships." Was going to be easy.

Incredible job. |

I'd have lost every meal I'd ever eaten if I'd been along for that ride.

So, a few year later I was installing and bringing a new quad plex watercooled computer system online... I had just removed the boot pack and started lighting up terminals when he walked in and recognized me. He said.. "where do I know you from? " I replied .. "Sir, I am the guy you flunked out of FORTRAN. Here are the keys to your new system." |

You filmed that OP? Outstanding work. Those F22's are very cool and your video captured that.

That plane is violating every rule of aerodynamics. Vectored thrust computed controlled magic. Actually, pulling over 9 g’s during the minimum radius turn and heavy g loads across the routine. They get a workout for sure. |

What the pilot does at 1:25 and the sequence starting 2:50 is just insane.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Beautiful aircraft, unbelievable flying skills However, there are pragmatic limitations on "any". The pilot needs to be a younger pilot. We've had a number of pilots who qualified on the platform at an advanced age, and it's not a knock against them but a recognition of reality, that they would probably not have the physical stamina to get through a demonstration with the same sequencing a younger pilot could string together. In sharp contrast are some of the Sukhoi demonstrations, where those maneuvers are entirely dependent upon the refined skill of the particular pilot. |

that is freaking amazing. watching those tail feathers flutter at odd angles to keep it flying is really cool.
and that's great video work OP, what kind of gear were you using to capture that? Quality was really good, how far back were you? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do you shoot wider and then use object tracking to crop in post? The tracking looks amazing. That's what I was thinking. However you did it OP, it resulted in an outstanding video. |

If I had a time machine, probably one of the first things I'd do was go grab Orville and Wilbur Wright, bring them here, and show them what this plane can do in person (or at least this video). I don't think they'd believe it, but they'd likely understand it pretty well, they were smart dudes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is a great lecture to spend an hour watching. Key takeaway: The F-22 is designed to take the piloting out of the plane and make the meatsuit a warfighte, letting the plane handle the flying part. For example, when it's time to take-off, the plane knows it's time to take-off and the pilot doesn't have to remember to set things like flaps, take-off thrust, etc. The plane just knows... Totally worth the watch.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n068fel-W9I |
