Download or read book Lockheed Martin F A 22 Raptor written by Jay Miller and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially referred to as the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF), the F-22 was designed to meet a USAF requirement for 750 new fighters to replace the F-15 Eagle. Work began in the early 1980s, and competition selection resulted in orders for flying demonstration prototypes of the YF-22 and the Northrop YF-23. The first of two prototypes was flown on 29th September 1990, and extensive testing and evaluation took place during that decade. In 1993 an air-to-ground attack role using precision-guided munitions was added to the original air superiority role, and the designation has been changed to F/A-22 to reflect this. The F-22 is designed to supercruise at up to Mach 1.5 without use of the afterburner, and its unusual layout is designed for agility as well as to incorporate stealth characteristics. A planned two-seat trainer version, the F-22B was cancelled, but production deliveries are now taking place, with service introduction planned for 2005. Author Jay Miller has followed the program closely to produce an extensively researched and well-illustrated review of this topical new fighter in the well-established and acclaimed Aerofax style and depth.

Download or read book Lockheed Martin F 22 Raptor written by Mike Wallace and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's called the Raptor. The F-22 will be the U.S. Air Force's premier fighter for the first decades of the 21st century. Like other expensive military programs, the F-22 endured continuous scrutiny throughout its development - the aircraft that evolved was worth the wait. The F-22 is definitely "top gun" - it is more agile than current U.S. aircraft, has stealth capability, and is flexible in both air-to-air and air-to-ground attack missions. The Raptor is planned to start operational service with the U.S. Air Force in the year 2004, and when on-line, will provide a capability far beyond that of any other fighter aircraft.

Download or read book The Projects of Skunk Works written by Steve Pace and published by Zenith Press. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories behind more than 50 secret projects undertaken by the famed Lockheed Martin Skunk Works on behalf of the US Armed Forces, DARPA, and the CIA - all illustrated with official Skunk Works photography and commissioned artworks. Hatched in June 1943 after a special request of the US Army Air Forces to develop a turbojet-powered fighter to counter growing German threats, Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works has gone on to develop remarkable aeronautical and space technologies, including stealth. Some have made it into production, while others never quite made it off drafting boards and computer screens, but proved fascinating nonetheless. This generously illustrated history tackles Skunk Works programs ranging from jet fighters and jet engines to missiles and rockets, helicopters, research aircraft, airships, unmanned aerial vehicles and recon drones, and even the seagoing stealth ship Sea Shadow - more than 50 in all. Author Steve Pace examines the historical context which led government organizations to approach the Skunk Works, as well as the technologies and projects developed there (often on a handshake and unburdened by bureaucracies), and the anecdotes and legends associated with each program. Pace includes official Skunk Works photography of the projects taken both at its headquarters and at test facilities such as Area 51. In addition, commissioned color artworks help further illustrate many of these projects featured herein. In addition to profiling legendary aircraft like the F-80, F-94, F-104, U-2, SR-71, F-117, and F-35, Pace takes on more obscure projects from the past as well as those still to come, such as the hypersonic SR-72 and High Speed Strike Weapon, and even offers a peak into what the future might hold with the proposed TR-X.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the development and evolution of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, a multinational aircraft endeavor involving the U.S. and many of its allies. The author provides a historical overview of jet fighter aircraft, discussing the different generations of these planes and their technical characteristics, as well as an outline of emerging international geopolitical and security trends the F-35 may see combat in. By examining the role of defense industries, domestic politics, and governmental oversight of the Joint Strike Fighter in various countries, the author concludes that this aircraft will be deployed in most of these countries to replace their aging jet fighter fleets and combat potential military aggression from China, Russia, and other revisionist international powers.

Download or read book F 104 Starfighter Units in Combat written by Peter E. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title covers the technical characteristics of the F-104 Starfighter, one of the most widely-used and popular aircraft in history. Although built in small numbers for the USAF, the F-104C fought and survived for almost three years in Vietnam. There, it was engaged in some of the war's most famous battles including the legendary operation Bolo, where seven North Vietnamese MiGs were destroyed without the loss of a single US fighter. This small, tough and very fast fighter, dubbed 'The Missile with a Man in It', was called upon to do things it was not specifically designed for, and did them admirably. Featuring illustrations and photographs detailing the variety of nose-paint schemes and weapons configurations, this comprehensive appraisal of the F-104 Starfighter is ideal for modelling and aviation enthusiasts alike.
Download or read book F 22 Model written by Glenn Hoover and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains detailed instructions on building the F-22 Raptor 1/48 scale model aircraft from Hasegawa. A spiral bound version is available at glennhoovermodels.com You really need this book to successfully build this model. This model has over 600 kit and aftermarket parts with hundreds of decals. Can any sane modeler keep track of this build? The likelihood of you missing a part or doing a step out of order where you can't go back and fix because it's too late are high. In addition to the kit's instructions, there are 6 aftermarket kits each with their own instruction. Can you imagine merging all of these instructions? Well, I've done that for you and more. I take the model kit instructions from Hasegawa and break them up into individual steps. I reorder the steps so that the small pieces (antennas, etc.) are assembled last which reduces the risk of damage when building the model. The steps are organized to insert the paint and decal steps in the best spot. I also incorporate Eduard's Photo Etch sets 48619, 48669, 49514, and 49534 along with Hasegawa's QG39 PE set and Wolfpack's Nozzle Set in with Hasegawa's instructions. As most modelers know, it can be tricky to go back and forth between the model kit instructions and the aftermarket kit instructions. I took out the guess work and did that for you. The aftermarket steps are color coded making them easy to skip if you just have the basic model. This book provides a little history of the Raptor, photos of the model kit contents including the aftermarket kits, a detailed list of tools that I used to build this model, along with a list of paints. The actual instruction section contains 1208 steps and 140 plus figures over 194 pages that tell you what to dry fit, glue, and/or paint for each individual piece. Each step instruction shows the source (i.e., either Hasegawa or aftermarket instruction) along with a block to mark that you completed the step. The major instruction sequence for this model is 1. Cockpit 2. Main Weapon Bay 3. Sub-weapon Bay 4. Nose Landing Gear Wheel Well 5. Main Landing Gear Wheel Well 6. Engine Exhausts 7. Engine Intake 8. Join Upper & Lower Fuselage Sections 9. Flaps and Stabilizer Dry Fit 10. Paint Prep with Canopy 11. Camo Paint 12. Decals 13. Exhaust Nozzles 14. Landing Gear 15. Weapons Bay Doors 16. Canopy 17. Pilot 18. Engine Covers 19. Ladder I provide an index of the individual sprue parts that show where in the book the part is mentioned. This index was a great way to make sure that no pieces were overlooked. Finally, there are several pages of in-process photos with assembly tips and the final photos of my build for reference. This book is a great checklist to make your build go smoothly. Of course, you can feel free to use different tools, paint, weathering, etc. or even add your own diorama. I did a lot of research and didn't see anything this detailed about a model build. Most articles or videos concentrate on parts of their build or just give a summary review. I wanted to go down to the piece level and take you thru the whole build. Anyway, I hope you find this book useful. See a 16-page sample along with photos of finished models and other books at glennhoovermodels.com.
