SuperKungFu Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I was just curious after reading the other thread about the streak eagle, which plane performed better? And how many of those records set during the time these 2 planes took off still stand today? Streak Eagle P-42 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 The P-42 took the streak eagle's records back in the day. Mind you the differences weren't extreme - just on the order of a few seconds. The F-15E with the 229's can probably take all of the P-42's records without modification, and the F-22 will basically blow anything out of the water more likely than not, in that respect.

Frostie Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 How did I know an F-22 was going to sneak into this thread , :idea: probably the 'A versus B' bit.:D "[51☭] FROSTIE" #55 'Red 5'. Lord Flashheart 51st PVO "Bisons" - 100 KIAP Regiment Fastest MiG pilot in the world - TCR'10 https://100kiap.org
SuperKungFu Posted May 1, 2007 Author Posted May 1, 2007 Has the F-22 officially set any records or is it still deamed classified? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Nope, still classified. On the other hand, according to definitely not classified info ... it was accelerating vertically in a climb with a combat load - the pilot had to throttle back to prevent going through mach 1 (civilian limitations) but the airspeed did not start to drop off until some some 25000', IIRC. This should give you an idea ;) Oh yeah. I'd like one 'Steak Eagle' dinner, please.

GGTharos Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 You knew it but you still couldn't see it before it shot you down! :D How did I know an F-22 was going to sneak into this thread , :idea: probably the 'A versus B' bit.:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

SuperKungFu Posted May 1, 2007 Author Posted May 1, 2007 LOL opps, ah well, ill just leave it without the R. That reminds me, i want some steak tonight. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I can bet ya once the PAK FA is flying there will be a temptation to run for the official reccords again ;) .
Force_Feedback Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Yes, there were many F-15Es, F-22s and F-302 space plane fighters back then. BTW, a Spitfire might take the climb record of a Sopwith Camel too. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
nscode Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 There's about to be a P-42 mod to redeem the records.. It includes an Energia on center hook :) Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
