- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -0/+46Nothing to report. Only a very loud cloud. Over.
- tkilgore04, on 12/05/2008, -2/+29Looks like an ass in the sky.
- polishlanman, on 12/04/2008, -1/+25I bet someone would say "my that cloud is moving awfully fast"

- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -4/+12Stealth-Master Tip #9: Capitalize every word in the title.
- mikewitt, on 12/05/2008, -0/+7You didn't capitalize every word!
- Bassist182, on 12/05/2008, -0/+7Jet plane who? That's not me.... as clearly indicated by my cloud mustache.
- MJCfromCT, on 12/05/2008, -0/+6It isn't traveling at supersonic speeds. Vapor != compression waves.
- burketo, on 12/05/2008, -1/+6Jets are just so ***** awesome!
- vroom101, on 12/05/2008, -1/+6The vapor in this photo IS NOT caused by the Prandtl-Glauert Singularity, i.e., it IS NOT a Prandtl-Glauert Cloud (vapor cone).
- diizy, on 12/05/2008, -1/+6dude, the second photo is even cooler!
- Zervaman, on 12/05/2008, -1/+6Gotta love the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. Such a badass piece of military tech.
I feel sorry for any enemy pilot who might have to go up against raptors in the future... - Arramol, on 12/05/2008, -0/+5Yeah, somewhere in the back of my mind, the pragmatist in me is muttering something about the cost of the plane and such, but I can't hear it very well because the rest of my brain is going, "Holy crap, that thing is awesome!"
- audiogeek5, on 12/05/2008, -2/+6And a spoiler. It needs a spoiler. A big one.
- iFrikkenR, on 12/05/2008, -0/+4and yet redbull cans don't have wings at all.
maybe this things has wings because, you know, it's a ***** plane - LanceUppercut, on 12/05/2008, -1/+5Now all we need is a mountain goat moving so ***** fast up a mountain that it creates eye-popping vapor.
10k diggs easy. - nOcoNtrol926, on 12/05/2008, -0/+4dont, cause there arent any.
besides, if such an enemy did exist, they would be dead before even knowing the raptor was coming for them. - MJCfromCT, on 12/05/2008, -0/+4That vapor cloud is just from water condensing due to low pressure over the top of the wing.
- mikewitt, on 12/05/2008, -0/+4It really does have wings...
- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -1/+4Other Sports? What sport is being played here?
- CTabuga, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3its a megazord.
- reticulate, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3That's no mountain goat...
- vroom101, on 12/05/2008, -1/+4Most likely "Lift-Induced Condensation" See http://web.archive.org/web/20070410173148/fluidmec ... (web.archive.org/web/20070410173148/fluidmech.net/tutorials/sonic/prandtl-glauert-clouds.htm)
- idiosyncrisia, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3Oh really?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/31401097@N08/30840390 ... - Garofoli, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2That's so cool. I'd be distracted, for sure.
- mecharabbit, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Wouldn't a surrounding dense cloud of water vapor increase the radar signature of the aircraft?
Ah, never mind. It looks cool. - andypop481, on 12/05/2008, -1/+3Vapor Cone + ???? = Front Page
How does this formula keep working! - Wildthing, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2I'm curious, does breaking the sound barrier enable the enemy to "see" the plane easier? ie does it impact radar signature or detection methods?
- JulieBMack, on 12/05/2008, -1/+3Vapor-cool. The F22 is bad ass! Go Air Force.
- DrywallThief, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2Eye-popping vapor... that's a new one...
- Modestexcuse, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1vroom101, you know a lot about goats and Jet Fighters? Do tell...
- MachThree, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1That happens when it breaks the sound barrier.
- camtech, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Drugs? Crack perhaps?
- monsterman1994, on 12/05/2008, -5/+6That jet seems fast, but it would be faster as a go-kart with painted flames.
- edwartica, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1You were dropped on your head at birth, weren't you?
- mikewitt, on 12/05/2008, -2/+3Then what is it?
- caseycoold, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1No. Radar isn't effected by sound waves, and the sound waves don't have much affect on radio signals.
Radar is energy waves, ie speed of light. Sound moves at a crawl in comparison. - LanceUppercut, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1this made me LOL IRL :)
- vroom101, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2Here's a recent, very impressive shot of an F-22A Raptor with a P-G Cloud: http://digg.com/general_sciences/USAF_F-22A_Raptor ...
- pgouy, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Ass-clouding...
- rdvon, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Reported, bitch.
- digmystuff, on 12/04/2008, -2/+3the 007 jet
- caseycoold, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Stop burring vroom101. He's right.
- therocksays, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1That's no moon...
