  • F/A-22 Crash landing video

    So much for the greatest fighter in the world, huh?

    Very old vid. Nothing special for a prototype. That's the reason why flight tests are made: To make the unit better.

      It's of the YF-22 Lightning II, which if I remember correctly suffered a combination computer failure and pilot-induced oscillation causing the aircraft to porpoise into the ground on landing. Another F/A-22 was lost last year at Edwards for a similar reason on take-off, the computer crashed on start-up, the pilot failed to reboot, some critical component locked-up and the aircraft burned itself in along the runway.

      Despite the incredible leaps in technology the F-22 project demonstrates, it has been a remarkably failure-free program.

      Most new aircraft suffer some catastrophic failures as their manufacturers and operators learn about flaws in the design, that's why it's called "development."

        We should ground every aircraft that ever had a crash in the development phase. That would be pretty much all of them.

          Well it is the best fighter. Like stated before, compared to other aircrafts it is incredibally safe with only 2 accidents in its entire career.

            Wrong. The F-15 and F/A-18E/F never had a crash in developement. The F-14 had a problem with recovering from spins due to the wing design and lost the first one. Don't know about F-16.

              by the way, thats not crashing, its testing.
              I saw the exact same thing on discovery channel
              they were just experimenting the effects of no gear landing

                  Yes, he did, but the tape was cut before it was done. The plane fell apart all over the runway. On the sight which I found this they said specifically that it was due to failure with the aircraft and no test. Don't believe the discovery channel when it comes to the military.

                    wow. how ignorant
                    the f-22 crash at nellis airforce was different from the video
                    It took off in full afterburners and did some 360+ spins before crashing onto the runway

                      It did those spins before the video started.

                        if you've cared to see the actual video (which i have)
                        the f/a-22 takes off, goes into afterburner, begins to yaw, turns off afturburner, begin to pitch and roll, turn rearwards, then crash
                        I'm not denying the fact that f/a-22(s) crashed
                        i'm just saying that your video is not a video footage of the Nellis AFB crash

                          also the background in the video is clear and endless
                          Nellis AFB is in the middle of a desert and surrounded by mountains

                          actual video of Nellis AFB crash

                            Are you saying that Raptor has crashed twice? What was the USAF thinking?!

                              it isn' necessary USAF crashing the Raptor
                              It could have been lockheed martin testing its development fighters
                              The thing is the those bugs are worked out now
                              better than building a cheap jet and going through problems while on the front line
