Or

Have an aircraft that can only be not stealth.

I remember reading that it was possibly the fastest plane of all time at sea level. The limiting factor was that the poly-carbonate canopy would overheat in the dense low altitude air and haze over blinding the pilots, it had power to go faster.

to my knowledge it doesn't stall more, but it's faster than other types of comparable planes that wealthy enthusiasts tend to purchase. this increase in speed causes it to "get ahead" of the pilot and hence they crash.

No, that's a prop. Turbofans have a shroud, very different when you look at prop design vs fan design.

Hush up about energy efficiency. We're talking about aircraft here, not a fucking prius.

A turbofan is what you see on most modern "jet" aircraft. Look at a 707-787's engines, and that is a turbofan. The fan is basically more turbines driven by the jet engine.

Turboprop, is an actual propeller, of any sort, powered by a jet or turbine engine.

Radar technology has advanced to the point that stealth is more or less irrelevant. Its only effective against certain frequencies and doesn't take long to account for, so it'll be sweet for like a month until every country's radar is recalibrated to see it better. And only when its totally clean config. The ludicrous cost is just not worth it at all. A bunch of non stealth fighters with better flight performance would be a way better value. Not to mention single engine fighters are sketch balls.

TL;DR All the fighter pilots I work with think it's an overpriced niche jet thats just gimmicky, I agree.

Air superiority

Whoever controls the skies can bomb the other side. Air recon was also a new thing in WWI and very valuable. Was the first time in history you could just fly over the enemy and see their entire formations and where they were moving.

Because if they were tight at room temperature they would buckle when they expand form the heat of flying Mach 3+. Have to leave room for expansion.

>>678074257
But was there much bombing going on. Certainly no designated bombers right?

>>678073896
With the ww1 howitzers it was really hard to hit the enemy if you didn't exactly new where he was.

This magical flying crafts gave you a birds eye's view of the arrangement of your enemy. Where the infantry sat and where the artillery fired from.

This was devastating for the other side. And it was really hard to take them down from the ground. So some guy though of fixing a damn gun to the plane, and the rest is history.
