According to <a href=\"https:\/\/aviatia.net\/f-22-raptor-vs-f-35-lightning-ii\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aviatia.net<\/a>, <strong>the F-35 has a rate of climb (RoC) of 230 meters per second<\/strong>, that is, a speed of 828 km\/h. Of course, this all depends on certain circumstances, such as the weapons and fuel that the plane is carrying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, the F-35 is not the aircraft with the highest rate of climb.<\/strong> Other single-engine fighters such as the Mirage 2000 (285 m\/s), the F-16 and the JAS-39 Gripen (both with 254 m\/s) surpass him. If we go to the twin-engine fighters, we find brands such as the MiG-29 (330 m\/s), the F-22 Raptor and the Eurofighter Typhoon (both with 315 m\/s), the F-15 and the F\/A-18E Super Hornet (both with 254 m\/s).<\/p>\n<p>+ NOTE 22:05h: By mistake I initially put that the fighters were from the RAF. Ted Coningsby has warned me that they were USAF fighters, sorry for the mistake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most impressive maneuvers a modern fighter can perform is the so-called fast climb carried out just after takeoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,11546],"tags":[7072,18131,3366,10678,6761],"class_list":["post-49833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-military-aviation","tag-lockheed-martin-f-35-lightning-ii","tag-raf-lakenheath","tag-royal-air-force-raf","tag-united-kingdom","tag-united-states-air-force-usaf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49833"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49833"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49833\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
