| F-22 RC Crash Testing |
 |
If you are an intermediate to advanced RC
pilot, we have PDF plans of this Vectoring
Thrust Depron F-22 here:
http://www.rcpowers.com/PDFplans.htm
Thanks alot to Scott Lott for the
professional PDF work!
This plane is a larger stronger version of
our 2007 F-22 kit. Its has a all depron nose
that is super strong. Holds up to crashes
much better than expected, I am very happy
with how this one turned out. See the above
link for more info on this plane.
Yes, I know it looks like we are a couple of
dopes crashing a beautiful jet, but here is
what we are testing:
1) Stability at slow, medium, and high
speeds
2) Wing Loading
3) Maneuverability
4) Thrust Vectoring
5) And the most fun, crash testing to expose
any weak spots so they can be strengthened.
Also, we like to see just how far we can push
it and still have it actually fly. A
tremendous amount of data is gained for
present and future projects when an aircraft
is pushed to and past its limits.
I'll post part 2 here when its up next
weekend..............
What happens is just amazing and is a new
record for even us.
For now, if you have time, here is a couple
of our old videos from 2006/2007 of some
flight testing of our original F-22 project.
Prototype 1 (M-1) We are experimenting with
the very fist thrust vectoring jet:

Prototype 3 (M-3) Here we are experimenting
with the smoke bombs we used for the final
YouTube video. Its just amazing how it went
from what you see in these 2 videos to the
final video and what it all took to get
there:

were used in this video)

Montage of clips of the F-22 airshow demo
including cobras, backflips, super-high-alpha
flight, the Raptor hovering with its nose
pointed straight up, some super-fast
pitch-ups, and some "vapor" (sonic shock
condensation cones and wingtip vortex
contrails) at the very end. Sweet, sweet
stuff.
As we know, the F-22 is pretty much invisible
in the battlefield (in simulated wargames,
F-22 pilots always kill everyone else before
being detected), has the fastest cruise speed
of any airplane currently flying (MACH
1.5-1.75 depending on whom you ask), is
powerful enough to break the sound barrier
while flying straight up in a vertical climb
while fully loaded, and is extremely advanced
in how it manages, shares, and integrates
information and presents it to the pilot.
This weekend, the USAF has allowed one more
thing about the F-22 to be shown to the
public: its maneuvering capabilities. This
video is a montage of clips from the F-22's
first full tactical airshow demo (performed
in Langley this weekend by Major Paul Moga)
plus a few other F-22 clips from YouTube. I
don't think I need to tell you that no
American fighter has ever enabled a pilot to
do these kinds of aerobatics:
