Fighter Aircraft

it is a type of steel forging. it is an alloy grade which may also be called 2-1/4Cr 1MO. Details can pulled on ASTM.ORG where you can buy the specfication ASTM A182 for about $40.

The F-14 goes in excess of 1,500 mph.

RAF Leuchars and RAF Lossiemouth are currently the only jet fighter bases in Scotland.

Propulsion controlled aircraft system soon to be required on all jets as a backup system to steer airplanes which have lost hydraulic fluid rendering their hydraulic systems unusable and the airplanes aerlerons inoperable.

A computer aboard the jet airplane controls the amount of thrust coming out of each engine on the airplane.

If the pilot wants to turn right the computer will reduce the thrust coming out of the right engine and increase the thrust coming out of the left engine. If the pilot wants to turn left the computer will reduce the thrust coming out of the left engine and increase the thrust coming out of the right engine.

If the pilot wants to land the propulsion controlled aircraft system computer will gradually reduce the thrust coming out of both engines to lower the alltitude of the airplane. Jet engines supply the thrust for a plane. Directional control is done by the use of ailerons, elevators, & rudders, which alter the flow of air around the crafts wings & stabalizer.

The empty weight is 43735 pounds.

The first Bf 109V1 fighter was flown in September 1935.

Mach 2.34 (1,544 mph)

The SR-71 Blackbird is a military aircraft so it is illegal to buy it unless you are the military or government. The price of the Blackbird is also insanely high.

"On the Air" means that the program is currently being broadcast live. Most sports, news programs and radio talk shows are actually broadcast live, rather than being taped, perhaps edited, and then broadcast later.

A F-18 super hornet has a maximum speed of Mach 1.8 (1,190 mph, 1,900 km/h) at 40,000 ft (12,190 m)

About 423 mph.

The markings on any military aircraft denote it's country and often it's squadron or wing.

The top speed and endurance of the F-22 Raptor is classified at this time, although it's known to be capable of level supersonic flight. The F-15 Eagle, albeit older, has an amazing thrust-to-weight ratio and would also be a contender for this spot.

Guessing, because top speed and endurance are classified, I'd guess, in no apparent order:

1. F-22

2. F-15

3. F-14 Super Tomcat

I'd rule out the F-35 Lightning II and the F-18 Super Hornet. They're multi-role and some sacrifices to speed have been made. I'd also exclude the F-16 Fighting Falcon -- one engine and a lower thrust to weight ratio (akthough still ballistic and supersonic).

July 31, 1942

The A-10 pilots are proud to be "low an' slow" -or "in the mud" with their tough aircraft at a max speed of 440 mph.

Because it is a reflection of who they are, and it helps them with there fellings.

I don't believe Spitfires ever carried rockets.

1 F-15 costs

VARIANTS

F-15A : $22 million

F-15B : $23 million

F-15C : $35-$50 million

F-15D : "

F-15E : $65m/$70m/$90m/$100m

Fuel consumption : 0.70 km / litre

It's still secret since the F-22 is brand new but it's faster than Mach 2.25 (1.500 mph, which is 2.400 km/h).

North American Aircraft Company made the P-51 Mustang.

There were 26 basic types and each had many sub-types.

Probably over 100 exist, but only 3 or so actually fly.

The Supermarine Spitfire flew many sorties, however it was mostly renowned for its effectiveness in "the Battle of Britain" 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941.

No, the Galaxy is a heavy transport aircraft.
