Note that some other key factors, such as rate-of-climb, remains classified for some fighter jets and was hence not considered. In the case of some other classified information, the most widely accepted speculated figures were used. Note that combat range is different from ferry range. Combat range refers to an aircraft's range with near maximum payload without the use of external fuel tanks. For example, the combat range of Su-30MKI, the Indian variant of Su-30, is 3,000 kms on internal fuel and about 5,000 kms using external fuel tanks. F-15's range using internal fuel capacity is about 2,000 kms and exceeds 3,500 kms on external fuel. Even then, with the help of aerial refueling, combat range of fighter jets can be greatly extended. So, lower combat range should not be considered a major factor here. There are no official figures on F-22 Raptor's max speed and T/W. Various unofficial sources list F-22's T/W ratio in the range of 1.08 to 1.30. The speed mentioned here is a speculated one too. Also the data for combat range of the F-22 w/o the use of external fuel tanks is not available. The following aircraft couldn't make the top 10 list: Mitsubishi F-2 * JF-17 Thunder * MiG-29 * Mirage 2000 Didn't consider the following aircraft because, as of October 2008, they were either still under development phase or were prototypes: * F-35 Lightning II * HAL Tejas (LCA) * Su-47 Berkut * Su-37 * Mikoyan Project 1.44 * Sukhoi PAK FA Thanks for Watching!!

[View \| Download]	The Lockheed U-2 Dragon Lady By jbcanada77 The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed Dragon Lady, is a single-engine, high-altitude aircraft flown by the United States Air Force and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency. It provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 ft, 21,000 m plus), all-weather surveillance. The aircraft is also used for electronic sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and satellite data validation. In the early 1950s, with Cold War tensions on the rise, the U.S. military required better strategic reconnaissance to help determine Soviet capabilities and intentions. The existing surveillance aircraft were primarily converted bombers, vulnerable to anti-aircraft artillery, missiles, and fighters. It was thought an aircraft that could fly at 70,000 feet (21,000 m) would be beyond the reach of Soviet fighters, missiles, and even radar. This would allow "overflights"—knowingly violating a country's airspace to take aerial photographs. The Air Force gave contracts to Bell Aircraft, Martin Aircraft, and Fairchild Engine and Airplane to develop proposals for the new reconnaissance aircraft. Officials at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation heard about the project and asked aeronautical engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson to come up with a design. Johnson was a brilliant designer, responsible for the P-38 Lightning, and the P-80, the first US jet fighter. He was also known for completing projects ahead of schedule, working in a separate division of the company jokingly called the Skunk Works. Johnson's design, called the CL-282, married long glider-like wings to the fuselage of another of his designs, the F-104 Starfighter. To save weight, his initial design didn't even have conventional landing gear, taking off from a dolly and landing on skids. The design was rejected by the Air Force, but caught the attention of several civilians on the review panel, notably Edwin Land, the father of instant photography. Land proposed to CIA director Allen Dulles that his agency operate this aircraft. After a meeting with President Eisenhower, Lockheed received a $22.5 million contract for the first 20 aircraft. It was renamed the U-2, with the "U" referring to the deliberately vague designation "utility". The first flight occurred at the Groom Lake test site (aka Area 51) on 1 August 1955, during what was only intended to be a high-speed taxi run. The sailplane-like wings were so efficient that the aircraft jumped into the air at 70 knots (130 km/h). James Baker developed the optics for a large-format camera to be used in the U-2 while working for Perkin-Elmer. These new cameras had a resolution of 2.5 ft (76 cm) from an altitude of 60,000 ft (18,288 m). Balancing is so critical on the U-2 that the camera had to use a split film, with reels on one side feeding forward while those on the other side feed backward, thus maintaining a balanced weight distribution through the whole flight.

[View \| Download]	Greek journalist flies with a HAF F-16D BL52+ By tasoscorsair http://www.aviationlive.org apo tin ekpobi me "areti kai tolmi" The F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American multirole jet fighter aircraft developed by General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market, serving 24 countries.[2] The F-16 is the largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since production started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the US Air Force, it is still produced for export.[3] The Fighting Falcon is a dogfighter with innovations including a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. It was also the first fighter aircraft to be deliberately built to sustain 9g turns. It is also one of the few jets with a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, giving the Falcon excellent acceleration. [1] Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.[4] In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation,[5] which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

For example, the combat range of Su-30MKI, the Indian variant of Su-30, is 3,000 kms on internal fuel and about 5,000 kms using external fuel tanks. F-15's range using internal fuel capacity is about 2,000 kms and exceeds 3,500 kms on external fuel. Even then, with the help of aerial refueling, combat range of fighter jets can be greatly extended. So, lower combat range should not be considered a major factor here. There are no official figures on F-22 Raptor's max speed and T/W. Various unofficial sources list F-22's T/W ratio in the range of 1.08 to 1.30. The speed mentioned here is a speculated one too. Also the data for combat range of the F-22 w/o the use of external fuel tanks is not available. The following aircraft couldn't make the top 10 list: Mitsubishi F-2 * JF-17 Thunder * MiG-29 * Mirage 2000 Didn't consider the following aircraft because, as of October 2008, they were either still under development phase or were prototypes: * F-35 Lightning II * HAL Tejas (LCA) * Su-47 Berkut * Su-37 * Mikoyan Project 1.44 * Sukhoi PAK FA Thanks for Watching!!

[View \| Download]	The Lockheed U-2 Dragon Lady By jbcanada77 The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed Dragon Lady, is a single-engine, high-altitude aircraft flown by the United States Air Force and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency. It provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 ft, 21,000 m plus), all-weather surveillance. The aircraft is also used for electronic sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and satellite data validation. In the early 1950s, with Cold War tensions on the rise, the U.S. military required better strategic reconnaissance to help determine Soviet capabilities and intentions. The existing surveillance aircraft were primarily converted bombers, vulnerable to anti-aircraft artillery, missiles, and fighters. It was thought an aircraft that could fly at 70,000 feet (21,000 m) would be beyond the reach of Soviet fighters, missiles, and even radar. This would allow "overflights"—knowingly violating a country's airspace to take aerial photographs. The Air Force gave contracts to Bell Aircraft, Martin Aircraft, and Fairchild Engine and Airplane to develop proposals for the new reconnaissance aircraft. Officials at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation heard about the project and asked aeronautical engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson to come up with a design. Johnson was a brilliant designer, responsible for the P-38 Lightning, and the P-80, the first US jet fighter. He was also known for completing projects ahead of schedule, working in a separate division of the company jokingly called the Skunk Works. Johnson's design, called the CL-282, married long glider-like wings to the fuselage of another of his designs, the F-104 Starfighter. To save weight, his initial design didn't even have conventional landing gear, taking off from a dolly and landing on skids. The design was rejected by the Air Force, but caught the attention of several civilians on the review panel, notably Edwin Land, the father of instant photography. Land proposed to CIA director Allen Dulles that his agency operate this aircraft. After a meeting with President Eisenhower, Lockheed received a $22.5 million contract for the first 20 aircraft. It was renamed the U-2, with the "U" referring to the deliberately vague designation "utility". The first flight occurred at the Groom Lake test site (aka Area 51) on 1 August 1955, during what was only intended to be a high-speed taxi run. The sailplane-like wings were so efficient that the aircraft jumped into the air at 70 knots (130 km/h). James Baker developed the optics for a large-format camera to be used in the U-2 while working for Perkin-Elmer. These new cameras had a resolution of 2.5 ft (76 cm) from an altitude of 60,000 ft (18,288 m). Balancing is so critical on the U-2 that the camera had to use a split film, with reels on one side feeding forward while those on the other side feed backward, thus maintaining a balanced weight distribution through the whole flight.

[View \| Download]	Greek journalist flies with a HAF F-16D BL52+ By tasoscorsair http://www.aviationlive.org apo tin ekpobi me "areti kai tolmi" The F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American multirole jet fighter aircraft developed by General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market, serving 24 countries.[2] The F-16 is the largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since production started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the US Air Force, it is still produced for export.[3] The Fighting Falcon is a dogfighter with innovations including a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. It was also the first fighter aircraft to be deliberately built to sustain 9g turns. It is also one of the few jets with a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, giving the Falcon excellent acceleration. [1] Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.[4] In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation,[5] which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.
