  • Portland, Ore. - An F-15C Eagle with the 123rd Fighter Squadron, 142nd Fighter Wing, of the Oregon Air National Guard, conducts a Functional Check Flight on February 27, 2020. This video was gathered as part of a greater story which profiled Col. Todd Hofford and how he became the first fighter pilot in the world to return to flight after receiving a prosthetic disc in his neck.

    The thrust to weight ratio on the F-15 is one of the most unbelievable things that was achieved in the design of this masterpiece. I could be wrong but I am almost certain that I was told that the F-15 is one of the few, if not only fighter jets that can actually climb at 90 degrees straight up and accelerate in the process. To a certain altitude and point obviously, but if true it is nonetheless impressive.

      When the F-15 first flew in 1972 it was the only jet powered aircraft at the time that could accelerate with nose up at 90º. Fast forward to today and there's a few more aircraft with that capability. The F-22, Mig-29, Su-27, Su-37, and a few more. But those are the ones that I can name without looking up on Wiki or Google.

    First aircraft to do this was the English Electric Lightning in 1960. The F Mk 1 weighed 28000 pounds and produced 30000 pounds of thrust. It would climb vertical and exceed the speed of sound in the climb. Initial rate of climb 50000ft per min. F15 also an impressive aircraft from later generation.

    What people don't realize is that with a thrust to weight ratio of over 1:1 it means the plane doesn't need lift to climb. It means that the plane could literally climb like it does without wings, it's mind boggling how much thrust that is

      Yes, I know.
      Many aircrafts can climb vertically if they build up a high _horizontal_ speed before pulling up, but they will generally lose most of their speed if they keep climbing like that for more than a few seconds.
      However, I have also seen F-16s flying at near minimum speed with a high angle of attack before pulling up, applying full power and slowly accelerating straight up. That's how you can tell that the thrust to weight ratio is higher than 1:1.

      You're 100% on spot.
      Every Eagle can build up near Mach dash at low horizontal. Time to achieve that spot depends on the take-off weight and drag coefficient. Next important difference is a high-G pull, like in this case where a lot of energy is bled off before jet reaches upright position. Even with a lot of fuel being burned at tremendous rate, for those 10-20 seconds it's actually a decreasing vertical speed (slowing down).
      IMHO, only F-15A had very favorable T/W ratio and actually managed to keep the climb speed picking up until thrust decrease overrun mass inertia.

    Psalm 100 Pslam of *prase
    Make a Joy full nosse into the Lord, all ye Lands.
    Serve the Lord with glandness: come before his presence with singsng .
    Know te that the Lord he is God: it is he that made us and not we ourselves de are his people and the sheep of his pastura
    Enter into his Gates with thanksgiving and into his gates with prase:be thanfull and into his courts with prase:be
    thankful unto him and bless his name.
    For the Lord is good;his mercy is everlasing; and his truth endureth to all genorations.
