I saw another video where it did a zero airspeed roll and dive on a hapless F-16C that was utterly amazing.
BTW, those separation tests in that vid you linked were at Mach 1.2-1.6, including the rolling separation. That was a 6G Roll. One of the posters at the other boards works for LM, and posted about it at the time of the tests.
Well I know that if double the order we can decrease the price by about 40% per unit. So it would probley be around 90 million per aircraft if the total order was around 700. If we are going to war with a real country, then it might be even more then that and the price per unit would be even lower.
I have no idea how many we could produce per month.
Is there a reason why USA managed to produce so many planes during WWII such as producing 1000 to 2000 planes a month and yet in today's environment, with USA on a war footing, even with all the technological advanves in manufactoring and mass production, USA can only produce 90 planes a month?
Or am i reading this wrong?
If given 2 years to train more people and build more factories, can USA produce more than 30 better yet, ramp it up to over 100 Raptors a month?
LOL, that's not my point. My point is that the F/A-22 is capable of doing the Cobra Manouver if it can do that.

In WW2 we spent over 70% of our GDP on the Military. That is how we turned out 2000 planes a month.

If we had to we could get it way over 100 raptors a month. If we need to replace them that quickly the war aint going to well.

You can perform a vertical stall in a cessna skyhawk. The manuver your talking about is in no way shape or form like a Pugachev's cobra. Im not saying the f22 cant do it, but it hasnt shown that it can thusfar match the SU27 series in supermanuvers like the Pugachev Cobra or the Kulbit.
