In aerobatics, the cobra maneuver (or just the cobra), also called dynamic deceleration, [1] among other names (see § Etymology), is a dramatic and demanding maneuver in which an airplane flying at a moderate speed abruptly raises its nose momentarily to a vertical and slightly past vertical attitude, causing an extremely high angle of attack and making the plane into a full-body air brake ...
F-22 Raptor, the first U.S. operational supermaneuverable fighter aircraft.It has thrust vectoring and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.26 at 50% fuel.. Traditional aircraft maneuvering is accomplished by altering the flow of air passing over the control surfaces of the aircraft—the ailerons, elevators, flaps, air brakes and rudder.
The plane was on loan to NASA from the United States Air Force. This same aircraft would later be used in the F-15 ACTIVE ("Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles") from 1993 to 1999, and later in the Intelligent Flight Control System programs from 1999 to 2008. While with NASA, the aircraft's tail number was 837. [4]

Whereas the premier third-generation jet fighters (e.g., the F-4 and MiG-23) were designed as interceptors with only a secondary emphasis on maneuverability, 4th generation aircraft try to reach an equilibrium, with most designs, such as the F-14 and the F-15, being able to execute BVR interceptions while remaining highly maneuverable in case the platform and the pilot find themselves in a ...
The F-22 is considered the top US air superiority fighter, known for stealth, speed, and agility. F-22 pilot Maj. Samuel Larson captivates audiences with daring displays in the fifth-gen fighter.
