Although extreme low-speed maneuvering has limited utility in modern air combat, for the F its ability to quickly turn the tables on its enemy at low-speed is more important than it would be otherwise due to the lack of specific equipment on the jet.

It was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities that include ground attack, flightgearr warfare, and signals intelligence [1] roles.

Beyond the within-visual-range combat arena, the F's thrust vectoring also helps it significantly with flight control at extreme altitudes and high-speeds.

A Raptor ready to take off. Portals User Developer Wiki. Case in point, this pretty damn amazing clip of an F executing a big belly-first somersault at altitude. Fligjtgear Raptor community is known to hunt as high up as 60, feet and can supercruise fly faster than the speed of sound for sustained periods without the use of gas-guzzling and easy to detect afterburner at speeds greater than Mach 1.

By Tyler Rogoway Raptir 28, The Su may have a few new tricks to perform at MAKSbut does the jet represent "peak fighter maneuverability" based on current air combat trends?

Have a look at it and feel free to add it to new users discussion pages and perhaps your own. Reports of two separate incidents, weeks apart, sound almost too similar to just be a coincidence.

Although extreme low-speed maneuvering has limited utility in modern air combat, for the F its ability to quickly turn the tables on its enemy at low-speed is more important than it would be otherwise due to the lack of specific equipment on the jet.

This is also true as a result of new tactics, electronic warfare systems, advanced missiles, and stealthy aircraft that are proliferating around the globe.

Hi fellow f--22 editors! Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the prime contractor and is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems and final assembly of the F But the F, with its high thrust-to-weight ratio, huge control surfaces, and especially its two-dimensional thrust vectoring, can holds its own in this regard as well.

Russia and its lineup of thrust vectoring fighters—namely modern Flanker derivatives like the Su —have certainly stolen the show when it comes to displaying extreme slow-speed maneuverability and other post-stall aerobatic feats.

You can read all about these tactics and how they apply to various aircraft and scenarios in this previous piecebut suffice it to say, beyond one-versus one dogfights, ending up in a very low energy state is a bad place to be whether you vanquish an enemy fighter or not.

The next generation Sidewinder does have a wider field of view, longer detection range, and can still be cued to targets far off boresight by the F's APG AESA radar, but in hard maneuvering fights, the pilot still has to point the jet at the target to some degree in order to get the missile to lock on and thus kill the enemy. Beyond that, in some cases F pilots will need to use all their missiles, and no, the AIM-9X is not there for purely defensive purposes, nor is the gun.

Yet convoluted air combat environments with strict rules of engagement, like the one over Syriaremind us that within-visual-range air combat can't be fully discounted. The Raptor will never reach its full potential without a helmet mounted display, something that was promised with the jet nearly 30 years ago.
