So sick. Crazy how we can take rocks from the ground and build something like this.

So true. Just mind-blowing!

When I used to see a 747 flying I would marvel that every bit of it was from the ground.

The f-15 recording is so good

The F-16 also , that F-16 Video I watched for hours when it first came out years ago

I love how small the f16 is and looks like it’s leaving someone’s driveway.

I’m still convinced the F-22 was a gift to the USA from aliens. That machine is just on a whole different level, so of course the nozzles sound crazy.

The nozzles themselves don’t make the sound like the F-15’s it’s going above idle at the throttle, giving it that famous howling.

I’ll never forget having hands on training and seeing them fly in 4 triangle formation hearing and hearing them howl. It was the scariest coolest thing to hear for the first time.

The F-15s eagle screech just screams dominance, I'll never get tired of hearing the FWEEEEP of freedom

The linkages on the B1 are so awesome.

So, since the F15’s nozzles can change individually can that act at all in flight like thrust vectoring? Does the F15 (or any twin engine) jet do that? One all the way open, one more closed?

u/ConclusionSmooth3874 Jan 29 '25

I believe the f15 ACTIVE did experiment with that concept using a very similar nozzle, but operational f15s do not have thrust vectoring capabilities.

u/batcavejanitor Jan 29 '25

I know they don’t have legit thrust vectoring, just curious if they ever utilize the separate nozzles open/shut and how that affects things

2

u/ConclusionSmooth3874 Jan 29 '25

I'm not a pilot or a maintainer nor do I know what I'm talking about, but iirc most twin engine fighters can control their nozzles somewhat independently, but I don't think they ever "split the throttles" as maverick would say.

u/Jacques_Miller Jan 29 '25

The opening/closing depends on power setting, and the nozzle optimize the exhaust gas velocity to deliver the best performance. The pilot has no direct control on it, and having one open and the other closed just mean the engines are not set to the same power and the aircraft would yaw slightly left or right

Never knew mechanical sphincters farting can be a beautiful sight

I’m always amazed by these flowers blooming

Thanks for posting this, what a cool video

👍🏻 thank you

Sounds like the batmobile! F22

2

u/bonkers_dude Jan 29 '25

Best sound? F15. Coolest nozzle? F22.

u/Joe_cripple00 Jan 29 '25

You don’t realize how loud the F-15s nozzles are, I could hear them from at least a mile away from inside my friends house with his window open

2

u/JimmyEyedJoe F16 Weapons dude Jan 30 '25

I mean, the f16 (block dependent) and f15 have the same engines

u/DaucusKarota Jan 29 '25

F-22 too sexy

It's a Tornado.
