Fighter Aircraft

you may not be at a high enough rpm

America's last Aces of the 20th century...the F4 Phantom II.

The F/A-22 is the best fighter jet in terms of speed, stealth, and arms. But the cost is too high for the US government to aford any more. The F-16 and F-18 are also pretty good fighter jet consider in all terms.

I have seen at least 8 in the northwest. I will research and add it to this question soon.

During the Battle of Britain, the Spitfires primary task was attacking German fighters that came over Britain protecting their bombers. The Hurricanes and other aircraft attacked the German bombers.

it depends on the aircraft. this question is very vague, but the F-16 for instance can hold a few thousand pounds of fuel.

The Harrier's AV-8 version is still in use with the US Marines and the Spanish and Italian Navies. The Indian Navy may also use them. - Only the Royal Navy has taken them out of service.

There is a series of fans, they get deeper into the jet and get smaller, as the fan sucks in air, the air condenses and gets smaller and smaller, at the end of the jet, air is released with an amazing force because the pressure is being released!!!

The F-14 could fly to altitudes of about 50,000ft

The F4 (F=Fighter/P=Pursuit/B=Bomber/RF=Reconnaissance Fighter/A=Attack) Phantom II is a TWIN engine, TWIN seat (2 crewmen) jet FIGHTER/BOMBER. Originally designed to intercept and destroy enemy bombers to protect the warships of the USN. Like nearly all jets, it was forced into bombing missions in Vietnam, thus becoming, like most of the other jets, a FIGHTER BOMBER. However, not like the other jets, the Phantom was GOOD AT IT! The F4 could do both bombing and fighting...and do them well. The Phantom is America's last ACE's of the 20th century (5 aerial kills each in Vietnam for the USAF and USN...each flying the F4 Phantom II Fighter/Bomber). The Phantom was used in Vietnam by all fighting branches of the military; USAF, USMC, and USN. More Phantoms were produced than any other Vietnam era jet (and more Phantoms were lost than any other US jet during the Vietnam War...nearly 800 destroyed). You can't tell if the F4 has two engines until you look at either the air-intakes or the tail exhaust pipes, and see two at each end. Twin engine for the Phantom does not mean an engine on each wing like the B57 Canberra bomber, as an example.

There is no simple answer to this question. This was a military plane and as such was purchased by the military. I suppose there is an answer if you had access to Nazi supply records.

The Messerschmitt's 109 series started only in 1935... and the G version came relatively late (about 1941-1942) to duty.

One openly recorded sale of Bf109 planes was in 1944 when 12 new BF109G Gustavs were sold to the Swiss Air Force for 6 million Swiss Francs.

2.8 times the speed of sound at that air pressure. Thus the mach numbers vary at altitude, compared with km/h measurements.

they usually fly about 500 - 800 miles depending on how hard it is flown

Yes, as long as the jet is in range. The aircraft has several vulnerable spots; the Pilot, the hydraulic systems (which boost the contols), and the engine (which can be destroyed by sucking up something as small as a penny).

Yes, the F-14 Tomcat has tailerons, which provide roll control at high speeds.

The Eurofighter can fly at over 1,400 mph. -They will never give out an exact top speed.

it is made out of carbon fibre.

The F-4 Phantom is faster than the B-2 Spirit.

Some Photo Reconnaisance versions of the Mosquito could exceed 425 mph. Some of these were used to fly unarmed to Sweden during WW2 to carry back cargoes of vital ball bearings.

The de Havilland Mosquito was a twin-engine two-seat fighter/bomber built by the British for service in World War 2. Featuring two of the superb Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 engines for thrust, the Mosquito was unique in that it was constructed almost entirely of wood.

Maximum speed varied with the model. However, the Mosquito B Mk XVI could reach a speed of 417 mph in level flight, placing it on a par with the American P-47 Thunderbolt and the German FW-190. Though the American P-51D could outrun it by about 20 mph, no service model of the vaunted Messerschmidt Bf-109 came close.

It was sleeker and more beautiful and had a great engine sound !

No because the SR-71 Blackbird is the World's fastest, stealthiest and the highest flying aircraft. Only the United States of Anerica has the SR-71 Blackbird.

Sorry, It's classified.

The SR-71 is far faster.

Reginald Mitchell designed the original Spitfire and it was subsequently developed by Supermarine Aircraft.

The very first Spitfire flew at around 345 mph, but that was with a Merlin 'C' of 1,045 hp and a 2 blade prop. By mid-war they were flying at over 435 mph with 1.700 hp Merlins with 4 and 5 blade props.

F-14 is the designation given to the carrier based aircraft operated by the United States Navy which is used as an air to air fighter jet.
