Cockpit view of ultra low flying RAF jet fighter

Post by AviationCV »

The video that puts you inside the cockpit: amazing footage reveals the stomach-churning life of a jet fighter pilot. During the virtual trip, viewers are flown to 40,000ft on board a Typhoon jet.The video then shows the jet dropping to 250ft above the Welsh valleys.Viewers are also flipped upside down during a series of formation flights. It is on display at the London Science Museum's Typhoon Force simulator.

The two-seater Typhoon multirole jet fighter belongs to the 29 Squadron of the Royal Air Force at RAF Coningsby. It has a twin-engine and canard-delta wing. Development of the aircraft began in 1983 and a prototype took its first flight in March 1994.The Typhoon has a wingspan of 36ft, is 52ft long and 17ft tall. It can reach maximum speeds of Mach 2 at altitude and Mach 1.25 at sea level.

Oh yes I remember when!

Great fun when I was current; it's now just a fond memory.

Don't try that unless you've trained to do it.
