This pilot films himself in a F-15E US fighter ascending at the absolute fastest rate possible.

looks like a demond is flying dat thing at some point, cuz of the horns.

So if this is a -15, where's the two vert stabs? And as for "absolute fastest rate possible" , you must be kidding. You kids will believe anything. Just post it on Break dot com or you tube and it's gospel huh? F-15E my ass.

I don't konw if this has been mentioned but...: ... this is not a pilot in an F-15. This would be the passenger. I know most planes and jets are now equipped with computers that do most of the flying for them but they still do not do takeoffs and landings so far as I know. "Steep ascent has been approved."
Centaurus - 3 years ago
@TheRachi do also believe that this is the passenger: allthough takeoffs now adays are almost always by autopilot especially on carriers and landings are possible to use the auto pilot for but rarely is done except on passenger flights
Sierra_Hotel - 3 years ago
@TheRachThat's the WSO. Take-offs are always manual, there is no automated option. Landings for some aircraft can be automated and in the civilian industry, all landings in commercial aircraft are automated. I talked with an Air Canada mechanic a while back who confirmed this and said the new aircraft today are unbelievable in what they can do. It has gotten to the point where pilots are required to turn off the auto pilot in flight for a few hours just to stay current. As far as I know it is possible for F/A-18A t

not max: that isnt the maximum angle they do that climb whenever they take off with or without afterburners they could do a 90 degree easy
roosevelt33 - 2 years ago
@jiggyboy69Ok, I don't know much: but I do know that rate of climb and angle are independent. If your angle is very high, airspeed drops as jet fights gravity, which can result in a slower rate of climb than that of a lesser angle.

@jiggyboy69DUUHHHHH: what roosevelt said
sixt9ranger - 2 years ago
@jiggyboy69max climb: i believe an f15c has a thrust to weight ratio that allows it to continues to accelerate pure vert till it runs out of air and and dependent on it's external loads. this is a two seater "E" model. not 4sure 'boot this1...
@jiggyboy69dooph!!!: continue... either way, what an awesome ride.
caprandom - 3 years ago
@jiggyboy69They stay at about 70 degrees because its still provides some lift and going completely vertical would give no lift and be slower

Nice video: but it's not a max climb. He was going at about a 45 degree angle, not straight up. F-15s and F-16s have a thrust-to-weight ratio such that they can climb straight up and accelerate the whole time.
cone256 - 2 years ago
@Mr_Tidemansorry...: but F-16's don't have a 1.0 thrust to weight ratio. Only the F-15 and F-22 have a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1.0
jwmbike14 - 2 years ago
@Mr_Tidemanthis is to Cone256: i believe you are mistaken, most high performance fighters have a 1.0 thrust to weight ratio. f18 f16 and f15 all can acceelerate while climbing vertically here are facts f15e-58,000 pounds of thrust (29,000 lbs per engine) f15e weighs about 31,000 empty f18 32,000 lbs of thrust (16,000 each) weight 25,000 lbs f16 single engine puts out 29,000 lbs, aircraft weighs about 20,000

High rate of climb: But if it was the maximum, wouldn't the guy have a harder time throwing his head from side to side like that?
odie6423 - 2 years ago
@usaisadumpfastest rate possible: stated by people who don't know
Konnor - 2 years ago
@usaisadumpUmm: the fastest climb rate isnt set by whether some pilot can still move his head or not
@usaisadumpNever said it was. What I'm saying is that a: higher rate of climb requires greater acceleration in a similar timeframe. Greater acceleration = more G's placed on the pilot's head. More G's on the pilot's head lessens his ability to move it around freely and easily. That pilot's neck didn't seem to be under much stress at all as he repeatedly turned his head from side to side. So I'm thinking that he wasn't anywhere close to maximum speed or acceleration for his current pitch/AOA, at least not in a rare c

@turbohackerAs far as I've learned: it's a combination of superior physical conditioning special breathing techniques when under heavy G-load to keep enough blood supply available to the brain state of the art extras like G-suits and specially prescribed amphetamines.

the f-15: is pretty much a rocket. its engines are powerful enough to let the plane fly vertically straght up into space.
@pigboat_9it cant fly into space: because it would burn up on re-entry
Mytch_Buchanan - 2 years ago
@pigboat_9It cant fly into space....: because the air gets to thin. It is however one of the few planes that can maintain a 90 degree vertical climb for 15,000 ft or so before stalling.
@pigboat_9I recall in the mid to late 80's the list of planes with a thrust:weight ratio of greater than 1:1 included just one craft, the: But by now the list must be a bit longer. Does anyone know it?

That's not the pilot being filmed: That's the guy in the back seat. The F-15E has the pilot in the front seat and the weapons officer in the back. Notice how his arms are out in front. If that were the pilot, then at least one of his arms would be down between his legs on his joystick. Some one's gotta fly the damn plane!
Nice video: But definitely not a max-climb.

@xiqshnrWeapon Systems Officer: WSO, "wizzo" There are no RIO's in the Air Force. There are no f-15's in the Navy or Marine Corp. A Pilot does not "pull" any G'S going straight up.(the same way you wouldn't going from 75mph to 150 mph on the fwy. You pull G's on high speed radius turns. (as you would on a fwy circle on-ramp. This is caused by centrif/force. That's why pilots are tested for g-force on a centrifuge. Not going straight up.

THAT is a cool toy.: Was chatting/beers with an ex-NAVY pilot last night with friends, he flys for an airline now. Very nice life at the end of your service time.(he was sent to shoot down an airliner during 911. A kid on the airliner saw him and later sent a letter to him saying how cool it was to see him flying next to them. Fucked him so badly he quit. Irony he now flys airliners) p.s.-he did NOT shoot down the airliner for those that could not comprehend totally what was just written. Ok.

@playa14he can: u only cant move your head when your accelerating/decelerating at an incredible rate. He had kept still for a while and then had probably reached almost his terminal velocity when he started moving his head around like that.
@playa14he would: you only cant move your head when you are accelerating/decelerating at an incredible rate. He had been flying vertical for a view seconds before he moved his head, he had probably almost reached terminal velocity so there was no great force, apart from gravity, holding his head in place.
