What I said is that Rafale has similar T/W ratio to F22 and it has. LOL, I mean are you illiterate?
And BTW, I’m not so sure F22 has better range than Rafale, even on internal fuel only.
Anyway, stick 9+ tons of fuel on Rafale and it will fly farther than F22, but will fly like a brick. However, stick 50 or so tons of fuel on F22 to match B1’s range and it can’t get off the ground, so B1 is more maneuverable in this case, isn’t it?? 😀
LOL jackjack, stop parotting PR without a clue of what you’re talking about.
no, you actually said equal T/W ratio
this isnt the case, apple for apple comparison, you were wrong and are now just waffling
You still don’t have a clue of what you’re talking about, do you??
Kid, go to Wikipedia and read what the AOI is…
i thought “sustained aoi/aoa” would have told you enough, do you really want me to put links for your limited comprehension about flow separation from the wing or what the really good words are for stalling it ?
(is english your second language ? it would explain a lot)
now what was your favorite planes sustained aoi again, was it under or just over 30 deg ?
do you still remember the f-22 is sustained 60+ ?
ROTFL..You’re grasping at very last straws you got left now..
BTW, not that your opinion matters to anyone.. Bye
bye, my little goal post shifting friend.
i particularly liked these sentences of yours from the previous page
if nothing else you now know the difference between stealthy and a ‘stealth plane’
EADS claims Typhoon a stealth aircraft, so if we take it as granted then stealth+supercruise make Typhoon a 5th Gen aircraft, as well
There is an official statement issued by EADS claming Typhoon a stealth aircraft
At the same time it is known that Typhoon can supercruise and that it has sensor fusion. These are the requirements for 5th gen aircraft and according to its maker, EADS, Typhoon meets them all
So what does it matter?
B1 is more maneuverable than F22 with the same flight distance load of fuel. 😀
What’s your point?
ah my little spinner of posts, you said the rafale had better t2w, this is simply wrong under similar fit outs
It doesn’t matter how you rate my opinion, but what matters is that you don’t know what you’re talking about, again…
Try skewing F22’s wings to an incidence angle of 70° and your design supervisor will send you to asylum for observations. 😀Most posters have basic courtesy to shut it, or educate themselves when in dilemma, but not our Jackjack.
He goes in, all guns blazing no matter what. 😀I mean Jackjack, it’s funny to read your assertions on this forum and I must say your ignorance is becoming almost legendary.
I can’t tell when JSF will reach IOC, but I can tell that you and pfcem are fighting daily for the dumbest post of the day. 😀
sorry, its a sustained 60+ not 70, 70 is the f-18harv, my mistake , i should have written a list so i dont confuse them
now the fa-18 is 55+ degrees same as the f-35, isnt it ? my memory isnt that good with numbers
whats your favorite plane again, is it under 30 or just over ?
“FOUR of the RAAF’s new Super Hornet fighters, just off the assembly line at the Boeing factory in St Louis, will escort Air Force One on the flight from the US to Canberra when Barack Obama visits this month.”
are we going to charge them ? i would have rathered f-22’s, so i could peak through the fence at them
no, reread my posts and my references to “stealth plane” and “stealthy plane”
as your link shows, they do not claim it as a “stealth plane”
i have not changed my opinions on your posts
so thats it, you have run out of gas ?
i havent seen any fighter aesa that didnt claim LPI for it and i’m at a loss to think of a significant advantage of non-aesa
you are welcome to your opinion, although i havent seen anyone creditable share the same view
can you expand on your opinion of my lack of understanding, so i have a full grasp of your point, so i can answer it
rafale’s roll rate was given in a post right above your previous one:
Rafale: 270°/s
you gave F-22: 200°/s
that would mean, that the rafale actually outclasses the F-22 in that area (and the F-16 does the same, btw)
ok, in amongst the numbers i missed that
i must repeat ..it was the prototype that was 200, as it was what i found when i googled and i posted it as an interesting read that gave a clue to the final f-22
as i said, it isnt finished yet, there is another 12 mths of posting at least, this was a yank who went on record re the raf/22, uk never does as its against the rules
it will be interesting to compare the f-35/22 manoeverability, i havent done it yet
i havent seen anyone creditable say the phoon isnt 4.5, though i would like aesa included in the 4.5 definition, as its suppose to mean 4 gen platform with 5th gen systems afaik
fwiw i dont give LM a gods right to set definitions, here is a LM link claiming 5gen for both f22/35
http://www.lockheedmartin.com/capabilities/air_power/5th-gen/index.html
if they originally claimed planes had to have SC for 5th gen, it does muddy the water
as per airdefence,net for the same flight distance load of fuel the rafale doesnt have better t2w the f-22 f-15 lead the list by far
what is the rafale roll rate per sec ? as i havent seen it
i think i have a reasonably grasp of AOI/AOA, i have no need to ‘show’ you, i dont rate your opinion that high
i guess you missed my edit as you were posting
ok, i’ll bite give a link where eads calls typhoon a ‘stealth plane’
i personally would give them more credit than that sillyness that you claim
cola read my post again, ‘a stealthy plane’ 4.5 is different to ‘stealth plane’ unlikely you want to say phoon is a ‘stealth plane’ as the term in known, even you arent that silly
ps, re your f117 claim, i googled this just for the pleasure of showing you are WRONG AGAIN
although i dont give LM a god like right to define things, its close enough for me and the professionals in the industry

Welcome to a new era in military aviation: the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II – the world’s only 5TH Generation Fighters.[you can add russia now]
Stealth was first introduced with the F-117 Nighthawk. Designed to attack alone and at night, it revolutionized precision strike capability in lethal environments. Yet it lacks maneuverability and is not a multirole platform. Today, 5TH generation fighters bring advanced stealth to the light of day, and it is stealth that enables 24/7 operations in any environment, against any threat.

this is an interesting read about prototypes in 91
the f-22 was 200 deg/sec, probably similar in final plane
