Fighter Aircraft

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).

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.

There are two Type of Systems as follows;

a. Gravity Method

b. Pressure Feed Method

The Supermarine Spitfire, a British fighter aircraft used during World War II, has a weight that varies depending on the specific variant. Generally, its empty weight ranges from about 2,500 to 3,000 pounds (approximately 1,134 to 1,361 kilograms). The maximum takeoff weight can be up to around 3,500 pounds (1,588 kilograms) for some variants.

The F14 was designed as a 2 seat shipboard fighter to carry long range radar guided air to air missiles as the first line of defence for a naval task force.

The F16 was designed as a single seat light weight fighter carrying only short range infrared guided missiles for land based air forces.

They are not really comparable.

Early Spitfires could do about 320 mph, they were powered by Merlin engines which then were about 950 hp. The Merlin, and the Spitfire were in constant development throughout WW2 and by 1946, versions of the Spitfire were flying at over 460 mph with almost 2,200 hp from the Griffon engine (an improvement of the Merlin.)

By WWI, airplanes had been around for more than a decade. Too late by far to "invent" them then.

There were several countries and manufacturers turning out planes that weren't absolutely horrible to fly.

the stealth fighter has a classified mixture of a special kind of aircraft paint that the radar cant read.

Answer:

Stealth is "designed in". It relies upon the shaping of the airframe, (although stealth paint can help).

Late models of the B-52 could carry 120 of the 500 pound bombs.

The F22... although it hasn't killed anyone yet that we know of.

In terms of kills to losses ratio, the F-15 is by far the best, with over one hundred kills for no losses.

The most lethal jet fighter of ALL time was undoubtedly the F-4 Phantom ! -With it's use throughout Vietnam by the USAF, the US Navy, and the US Marines and in

various wars with the Israeli Air Force the Phantom quite possibly caused more destruction than any 2 other jet types ever.

The F-16 Falcon.

They say approximately 1,500, but I think it was higher.

The Spitfire did not hold any bombs. It was a dedicated interceptor fighter.

An F-22 has only one seat.
