The Greatest Military Aircraft Of All Time | FULL EPISODE | Curious?: Science and Engineering

The Ultimates | Designed to provide air superiority for the American military, the Stealth Bomber is revolutionary for allowing pilots to go into enemy territory undetected by radar. Could this be the greatest military aircraft of all time? Want to see more aviation episodes? Check out the OFFICIAL Mayday: Air Disaster channel here:    / @maydayairdisaster   The Ultimates - From Season 1 Episode 4 "Ultimate Strike Planes": Ultimate Strike Planes looks at the history of creating stronger, faster and more powerful military aircraft. Using interviews, dramatic footage and CGI, we examine the evolution of technology used to make some of the world’s most powerful fighting machines, while also exploring the political and economic advantages of staying one step ahead of the competition. The planes featured in Ultimate Strike Planes includes the F-15 Eagle, the Harrier Jump Jet, the F-35 Joint Striker, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the Stealth Bomber, the F-22 Raptor, and the Euro Fighter Typhoon. With over 30 years of flying experience the F-15 Eagle is the unchallenged leader in the world of one-on-one combat. Never shot down in the history of one-on-one warfare, the F-15 can detect and destroy enemies within miles. With the ability to take off vertically and from very short distances, the Harrier Jump Jet can take off from any point. With a unique engine based on the same design principles as the Harrier Jump Jet engine, the F-35 Joint Striker can take off vertically, but at supersonic in speeds. With an airframe designed to fall out of the sky so that pilots can perform risky manoeuvres over ground targets, the F-16 Fighting Falcon stays airborne thanks to a technologically superior computer system. The Ultimates explores the science behind extreme speed and power. Using dramatic re-enactment, rare archive footage, vivid CGI, expert testimony and compelling narrative, the series focuses on the creation and scientific research behind notorious war-time explosions, the worst collisions in sports car history, supersonic trains, thrill rides, and the world’s most advanced fighting machines - strike planes and attack helicopters. The Ultimates also looks at the designers and creators whose obsession with speed and power pushes them to join the dog-eat-dog race for military, mechanical and technological superiority.
