Do
you want to see a spectacular scene?! then watch with me this awesome
scenes by F18 with GoPro. Go ahead and watch the ground from the sky,
have a nice time.
he F/A-18 is a twin engine, mid-wing, multi-mission tactical aircraft.
It is highly maneuverable, owing to its good thrust to weight ratio,
digital fly-by-wire control system, and leading edge extensions (LEX).
The LEX allow the Hornet to remain controllable at high angles of
attack. The wing is a trapezoidal shape with 20-degree sweepback on the
leading edge and a straight trailing edge. The wing has full-span
leading edge flaps and the trailing edge has single-slotted flaps and
ailerons over the entire span.
The F/A-18 has a top speed of Mach 1.8 (1,190 mph or 1,915 km/h at
40,000 ft or 12,190 m). It can carry a wide variety of bombs and
missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 20
mm M61 Vulcan cannon. It is powered by two General Electric F404
turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a high thrust-to-weight ratio.
The F/A-18 has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, primarily
attributed to its leading edge extensions (LEX). The fighter's primary
missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, Suppression of Enemy Air
Defenses (SEAD), air interdiction, close air supportand aerial
reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a
valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of
range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the
Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the
Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role. via
The sound barrier, in aerodynamics, is the point at which an object moves from transonic to supersonic speed. The term, which occasionally has other meanings, came into use during World War II, when a number of aircraft started to encounter the effects of compressibility, a collection of several unrelated aerodynamic effects that "struck" their aircraft like an impediment to further acceleration. By the 1950s, new aircraft designs routinely "broke" the sound barrier.
