LOL:Graucho

:sleep

http://www.af.mil/images/raptornews4.jpg

is this it??

F-117 Nighthawk, B2 Bomber and F-22 Raptor

You got it!!! 90 Million US a pop!
The F22, but they are really kick ass!

yes that's the new multi platform jet that all the US military services will start to use... it can be a fighter, lite bomber and can even take of vertically

flying saucers :Graucho

the raptor can take off vertically like the Harrier?????

no

For a woman I came as close as I can to getting a boner!!!:Graucho

Now that gave me a huge boner! :Graucho

I've always loved jets and would like to buy a F-14 when they get put out of production!! :1orglaugh

jDoG

:eek7

they have a modified version that can... watch Discovery Channel :thumbsup The jet is built as a multi platform use.. meaning it can be modified to fit the needs of each branch of the service... Not every verson can take of vertically but some do..

think of the of hot chicks you could get if you pulled up in one of those!!!

that would make sense,,,kind of like a hummer which could be used for a variety of purposes.

do you think they have a drone or pilot-less version???

looks like I was wrong... it's not modified versions.. but looks like they can all do it... it's called (STOL) Short Take Off and Landings

The aircraft also features the ability to cruise supersonically without afterburner ('supercruise'), 2D thrust vectoring nozzles for dramatically improved low-speed agility, and short takeoff and landing (STOL). It is 50% faster than any fighter flying today, even though its maximum speed isn't as much as some. The aircraft uses fly-by-wire, side-stick controls and features the very latest cockpit design.

I'm not a real man.

where is Area 51 in that photo????

I had blue balls and a woody when I clicked this thread, now I split the front of my pants open... :(

$90 million each? Christ.

What a waste of money.

Is it just me or does that jet look minature in that picture?

EDIT: NM im retarded, it is minature

:1orglaugh

I like jets but they don't give me a boner... I think there's something wrong with you

something wrong with him?!?!?!
Buddy....have you seem the Prada Caps you're into?!?!?!

common now!

Ruff...:1orglaugh

I love RC models but I have never seen the turbine ones.

I believe they're pussy flaps...am I a pervert now?

:1orglaugh

I believe you're thinking of the joint strike fighter.

It would give me a boner if I could own it or fuck it. Unfortunately neither of those will happen so I am currently limp.

im not a real man either then

:arcadefre

Actually, according to the discovery channel show, each raptor costs around 120 million.


90 mil would be a bargain.

crockett, you're thinking of the x-35. it's similar to the f-22 in theory.

the x35 is the 'joint strike fighter' to be adopted by all joints of the military. it includes a model with foldable wings, and also a vtol model (yes, like the harrier).

a friend of mine is in the air force rotc, and they just had a session thingie about the jsf. it's toys and capabilities are mind-boggling. i won't go into detail, but it's quite amazing (if nothing else, the gadgets on the plane are just plain cool).

i think they're looking to implement the x35 in '05. not sure about the 22, it will probably be around fairly soon. it's about time, it's been in development for about 25 years, i believe.

fucking fast little bastards, they are.

Check this shit out

Awsome!:thumbsup

im really into war planes and X-35 will soon rock the airwaves.
check some pix :thumbsup

familiar with the electronics in that dirty little bitch? a-fucking-mazing. no wonder it costs so fucking much. it'll be like playing a computer game.

90 million bucks isn't even the half of it..
Do you guys know how much those things cost in fuel? I remember seeing a show on Discovery about the American Fighter jets.. something like 20 000 per hour of flight the fuel costs..

I mean I doubt those things log enough hours to make the fuel more than the actual cost of the plane, but still 100 hours = 2 million dollars in gas money

Sweet, Go USC :thumbsup

Also, according to the program on Discovery I saw last night, the Raptor has technology taken from the Harrier, but can not do vertical takeoffs and landings. The Raptor has an adjustable "tailpipe" that changes the angle of force, which in turn allows it far greater maneouverability such as tighter turns than any other fighter. It can also achieve supersonic speeds without engaging afterburners, making it much harder to spot in the night sky (afterburners cause a bright flare-up). Because of this, the Raptor also uses far less fuel than other fighters.

They also said this Raptor jet can perform so extremely as to excert greater G-force than the human body can withstand, and because of that some say that it may be among the last to be piloted by humans. Will we be seeing robot pilots or remotely-operated planes in ten or twenty years?

im into doing some research on the x-35 right now.
it will be the official U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, and the United Kingdom?s Royal Navy and Royal Air Force with an affordable and stealthy tactical aircraft for the 21st century.


Delivery of the aircraft is scheduled to begin in 2008 and is slated to produce a total of 3,002 aircraft for the US and UK armed forces.
