    A Mach number is the ratio of an object's speed in a given medium to the speed of sound in that medium. Mach 1, then, is the speed of sound, around 761 mph at sea level on a standard day. The term is also used as a metaphor for high speeds more generally. Mach pronounced MOCK

    F-22 is Air Superiority role, supposed to be the most lethal thing in the sky. F-35 is the mainstay of the Air Force (and other countries Air Forces). It's supposed to be the most advanced multi purpose fighter, which it is. But it falls short of the F-22 in lethality and stealth. However, the F-35 is much more versatile.

      Hate to break the news, the F-22, while great for airshows (and if indeed it ever got into a dogfight), the F35 will kill it long before it even knows the F35 is there. This isn't "on paper". Every year it's been involved in Red Flag, the F35 has cleaned up everything thrown at it, usually in a 20 to 1 scenarios. In one interview, a general said they can't even come up with training for the F35s that really tests it. The F22, while a great fighter, is very limited by modern standards. It STILL can't share data or talk well with other platforms, STILL has 02 issues, and hasn't seen any meaningful upgrades since the program was cancelled. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on it. I love watching it (I live near Langley AFB, though I'm Navy myself) and it's a beast to see in demos, but the reality is, pitting each against each other, WITH their given strengths, the F35 will win. It's just a better platform.

      No I hate to say this the one thing that this country is very good at is killing. From a young age we are taught exactly how to use a gun and a knife either through video games movies TV the Boy Scouts we know very young how to kill. Our elderly are very good at it. My grandpa is almost 100 years old and every single year he goes bow hunting and rifle hunting for anything bigger than a pig and he always comes back with meat. He taught us very young aim for the heart if you destroy the lungs you kill the creature. That and our citizens have weapons that are just as good if not better than our enemies. And the Blackbird was not the fastest plane ever made. That would be the Aurora. It's so fast that by the time you actually hear it it's back at its home base Landing. It's so fast that it has no known top speed. It's so fast that when it's test pilot pushed it to its limits the pilot literally turned into liquid. And if you don't believe me you can look it up on DARPA's website. And remember all of this is the things that we want our enemies to know. Just imagine the things that you have no idea that we even have. Like believe it or not we're about 9 years away from having energy weapons handheld plasma cannons guns that shoot literal lightning bolts..... like I said in so many previous videos. Here in the United States we are so good at killing that it even frightens us. Literally 85% of everything that kills on this planet we invented.

    Here's a little tidbit of info for reference: the 5 to 6 billion (thousand-million for those of a British persuasion) operations per second that the plane's computer could accomplish is a single-core single-thread desktop cpu running at 5 to 6 GHz.
    A modern consumer desktop cpu would run circles around it, while using less power and generating less heat.
    For example, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d (admittedly a high-end, but still consumer-level, processor) in the computer that I just built has 8-cores, each capable of running two operations (threads) simultaneously, for a total of 16. If all 8 cores are operating at their max speed of 4.5 GHZ, it comes to a whopping total of 72 billion (or thousand-million) operations per second. At worst, 12 times the performance of the F-22's cpu; and I bought the cpu at it's msrp of $449.99 USD.
    That's how far computer technology has come in the last 30 -40 years.

    • @thefreeman8791
      @thefreeman8791 Рік тому

      While the YF23 had many pros, I can see why it did not make it past the prototype stage. Northrop seemed to forget that the objective was to build an aircraft like it was to be produced and they seemed to build more of an interceptor then an air superiority aircraft. They used parts from the Harrier, F-15, and F-18 and then when the DoD was like thats not revolutionary they were like it will not have those in the prouction model. So they were expecting the DoD to trust that their complete redesign of the cockpit and weapons system and landing gear and oxygen system would work perfectly without demonstrating it. Also, the YF-23 was in the air months beofre the YF-22 and the YF-22 ended up flying twice as many hours. Also, Northrop did not fire any munitions from their aircraft and Lockheed did. While that was not required, it did demonstrate that Northrop was not prepared to do that because if they had built their aircraft to be fully operational then they would have responded by doing that as they had responded to all other achievements of the YF-22 by doing the same thing themselves but not there and if Northrop would not test their weapons system then that did not exactly give the DoD much confidence. So while I will agree that Northrop had a good aircraft, they demonstrated it very poorly and key systems were not even worked out yet.

    There were two reasons that the YF-23 was not chosen by the USAF.
    1> Lockheed exceeded its test requirements by firing a missile during the flight tests. Northrop was caught flat-footed as firing a missile was not on the test agenda.
    2> Northrop was involved in building the B-2 "Spirit" Stealth Bomber at the time, and the officials were afraid that by also building a "Super Fighter", that the may become "stretched" so much that both projects would suffer.
    A third consequence of the decision to go with the YF-22, was that Northrop/McDonnell Douglas was forbidden to sell their aircraft to any other countries, as it would be a threat to the F-22's once they were built and in service.
    Northrop had built a "Super Fighter" once before, called the F-20 Tigershark. The USAF had no need for it, having just bought the F-16's, the US Navy couldn't use it, as it was a single engine, single pilot aircraft, (the Navy likes twin engine redundancy in case one fails, and twin crewed aircraft, mostly - there are exceptions). So Northrop requested to be able to sell them overseas. NO, No, No.
    The plane, while not wanted by the US, is too good to sell to potential enemies, or to countries that might be overrun and have the fighters captured, giving secrets to our enemies.

    Jack Northrop was an amazing person. Watched the documentary on his company he knew the name of every single person that worked in his plant all the way down to the janitors and he would talk to them daily and make them feel just as important as the people build the aircraft. The Grumman corporation hands-down has built the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world. The skunks work division built the SR 71 blackbird and the F-117 Nighthawk and the B2 bomber. They start building a F117 and 1972 and no one knew a thing about it until the gulf war. Our pilots are the best in the world. They have the most training of any other pilots, and most will tell you Even an a less advanced aircraft they can probably beat the opponent. We literally spend millions per pilot by the time they get to the point where they’re in those jets.! As others have said what Mach is but that also changes with altitude temperature and pressure and humidity so Mach is not the same everywhere. The number that you’ve been quoted in the comments is a baseline for mach speed. That would be a good homeschool project for your kids to look up the math to that.

These were all developed there during the 60s and mid to late70s and early 80s for the f117a. Lockheed Martin's skunk works also had a program they were working on in 1985 with the us navy to build a stealth catamaran style warship called project seashadow

    When a plane(or any object)reaches the speed of sound. Roughly 700 miles an hour(depending on altitude)it breaks the sound barrier causing a sonic boom. That is considered Mach 1 so Mach .75 is 3/4 the speed of sound and Mach 1.2 a little over the speed of sound. I still feel like you should check out the SR-71 Blackbird. It's not used anymore but it's an incredible piece of machinery. It could fly at Mach 3.5 plus(900 ft per second thats faster than an average firearm at the time) at altitudes of 80,000 feet.

    The F-23 has one issue that everyone ignores or just plain out misses. During rolls or wing-overs, the F-23 had an issue of leaving wingtip contrails, thereby advertising it's position in the air. Not a good thing for a stealth aircraft. The F-22 also has slightly better maneuverability which is what you need for a fighter.

      @@mjc1389 Not necessarily leaps and bounds have been made in RAM or Radar Absorbent Material. Many of the conventional airframes utilized for reduced radar cross-section are notoriously bad for actual flying so in the end its a trade off of maneuverability and speed for stealth hence why the first stealth aircraft were bombers / ground attack and not fighters.
      The thing is for a stealth fighter you don't need to reduce the radar cross section to the extent that the enemy cant see you. You just need to reduce it just enough that it slows down the enemy response to you and makes it difficult for radar guided munition to lock on. Fighters don't need to be "True Stealth"
      It will eventually get to the point that you no longer need the crazy stealth geometry just better or thicker RAM.

      Even if you don't cover things like turbine blades its still good enough to do that hence why slapping ram on existing airframes is a good budget option and why so many countries are experimenting with it.
      Trying to make a general purpose fighter that's as stealthy as a F-117 or B2 is a retarded task anyways as in order to remain stealthy it has to carry its weapons internally which severely sacrifices its carry capacity. and shows that the people in charge have more money than sense.

    Trust me, the YF 23 platform hasn’t been scrubbed, or shelved. It’s now probably being further developed as the next generation hypersonic stealth fighter for the USAF.
    The US military doesn’t allow anyone to see what’s in the pipe until the gloves need to come off. The secrets have secrets.
    As a PS, the F15 has a modern variation called the Stealth Eagle. The regular variant is the only combat tested fighter currently in service to have NO KILLS AGAINST in combat. No enemies in combat have been able to kill an Eagle.

    Northrop merged with Grumman aircraft to form Northrop Grumman systems. They actually are more focused on military and high tech satellites in space but they do make a lot of navigational tech for commercial planes. Their bread and butter are laser systems for all sorts of things. The Lockheed Martin company is their main competitor in most areas but work together on others. Lockheed and Northrop and so many companies are currently collaborating on the trial fission reactor somewhere in Europe to try finding a clean source of energy. That reactor hasn’t even started yet as it’s not even built as the delays just keep mounting. They just test materials and see if it withstands the power if it doesn’t it’s thrown out and a search begins again. They already tested several power coils and no material can handle the heat before it melts it’s just slow finding what they need.
