My Beautiful jet collection

in #history6 years ago

Elo

This is my vast collection of jets that i have . I've been fascinated with planes ever since i was a kid and i always wondered how it would be to be in a real cockpit soaring through the skies at speeds faster than the speed of sound and creating sonic booms . Looking at the curvature of the earth and the stars while it's day . I can go on and on .

So yeah these are some of the jets that i have and i've kinda lost the other half cuz im careless as hell .

These are some of my favourite jets by far -

  1. The F-22 raptor

This 5th gen jets a stealth fighting god . It was a twin engine , tactical aircraft developed by the USAF . The aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter but also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities.
It was created by lockheed martin and boeing provided its gorgeous wings, avionics and training systems .

This jet is a true stealth and war machine . Its agility , speed , lethal long range weaponry makes it the best air dominant flight.

  1. The F-14 tomcat

The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable sweep wing, two-place fighter designed to attack and destroy enemy aircraft at night and in all weather conditions. It's a 2 seater and the wings are shoulder mounted for automatic sweep during flight .
It has been retired but still flies with the Iranian Imperial Air Force (IIAF). has stared in a few movies. It saw action in Desert Storm and Iraq.

  1. The Eurofighter typhoon

Eurofighter Typhoon is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft providing simultaneously deployable Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface capabilities.The aircraft's development effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaboration among the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.he Typhoon was designed originally as an air superiority fighter.

4.The MiG-29

The Mikoyan MiG-29 is a twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union. Developed by the Mikoyan design bureau as an air superiority fighter during the 1970s.
One of the greatest combat aircraft of all time, development of the MiG-29 was initiated with the goal of creating a fighter with such exceptional performance, that any western examples would be severely outclassed. During the new interceptor’s first flight, it proved itself able to combat, if not outperform the F/A-18 Hornet and the equally legendary F-16 Fighting Falcon. Despite the fall of the USSR, MiG-29s saw no loss in export popularity to many countries in need of good fighters to replace outdated ones or compensate for the lack of pilot ability. Although MiG-29s in reality have never been very effective in air battles, that's mainly due to poor pilot ability, or as in Iraq's case, being greatly outnumbered in battle. The secret to the MiG-29's success was that it was highly maneuverable and allowed the pilot to use his skill and judgment in battle, a feature not found (or encouraged) in many earlier Soviet types.

  1. The f-4 phantom

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II[N 1] is a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. The Phantom is a large fighter with a top speed of over Mach 2.2. It can carry more than 18,000 pounds (8,400 kg) of weapons on nine external hardpoints, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and various bombs.As of 2017, nearly 60 years after its introduction, the F-4 remains in service with Iran, Japan, South Korea, and Turkey. The aircraft has most recently seen service against the Islamic State group in the Middle East.

6.S-R 71 blackbird

The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" is a long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft that was operated by the United States Air Force.
The speed of the new aircraft was to exceed 2,000 mph. With anticipated temperatures on the aircraft’s leading edges exceeding 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, dealing with the heat raised a host of seemingly insurmountable design and material challenges. Titanium alloy was the only option for the airframe —providing the strength of stainless steel, a relatively light weight, and durability at the excessive temperatures.A Stealthy Pioneer
Reducing the size of the Blackbird’s radar image meant an even further reduction in the likelihood that the plane would be perceived and shot down. Though the initial test results were good, rumors of Soviet radar advances led the U.S. government to ask for an even smaller radar profile.

  1. The A -10 Warthog

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by the nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog", its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter-bomber effective at attacking ground targets. The U.S. Air Force had stated the F-35 would replace the A-10 as it entered service, but this remains highly contentious within the Air Force and in political circles.

  1. F-16 (Blue angels )

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976.
You should watch the Flight demonstrations By the blue angels . Their precision and control is just :O

Well Hope this gives you some insight in some of the most popular fighters that serve and protect us .
